This paper presents a thermal control methodology based on an indoor temperature predictive model that regulates heating systems.Future indoor temperature is predicted from historical data of indoor temperature and other outside Rangehood Vent Hose parameters.A control strategy is defined afterwards in order to retrieve the optimal parameters.The b
This study highlights the benefit of precise aerial position control in the context of mapping using frame-based imagery taken by small UAVs.We execute several flights with a custom Micro Aerial Plant Vehicle (MAV) octocopter over a small calibration field equipped with 90 signalized targets and 25 ground control points.The octocopter carries a con
Biofouling in heat exchangers is a challenge in industry leading to efficiency and maintenance losses.A 3.4 % of the global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013, estimated the global cost of corrosion to be US$ 2.5 x 1012.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the stages of multispecies SILICEA TWIN PK biofilm formation on finished steel surfaces
Abstract Background Sleep apnea patients on CPAP therapy exhibit differences in how they adhere to the therapy.Previous studies have demonstrated the benefit of describing adherence in terms of discernible longitudinal patterns.However, these analyses have been done on a limited number of patients, and did not properly represent the temporal charac
