Energy Management in Buildings: Lessons Learnt for Modeling and Advanced Control Design

Soroush Rastegarpour; Luca Ferrarini

Frontiers in Energy Research, Vol. 10 · 2022 · English · DOAJ Scopus

This paper presents a comparative analysis of different modeling and control techniques that can be used to tackle the energy efficiency and management problems in buildings. Multiple resources are considered, from generation to storage, distribution and delivery. In particular, it is shown what…

Normal 5-edge-colorings of a family of Loupekhine snarks

Luca Ferrarini; Giuseppe Mazzuoccolo; Vahan Mkrtchyan

AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, Vol. 17 No. 3 · 2020 · English · DOAJ Scopus

In a proper edge-coloring of a cubic graph an edge uv is called poor or rich, if the set of colors of the edges incident to u and v contains exactly three or five colors, respectively. An edge-coloring of a graph is normal, if any edge of the graph is either poor or rich. In this note, we show that…

Digital Transformation in the Shipping Industry: A Network-Based Bibliometric Analysis

Restoration for Intensity Nonuniformities with Discontinuities in Whole-Body MRI

Stathis Hadjidemetriou; Ansgar Malich; Lorenz Damian Rossknecht et al.

Signals, Vol. 4 No. 4 · 2023 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The reconstruction in MRI assumes a uniform radio-frequency field. However, this is violated due to coil field nonuniformity and sensitivity variations. In whole-body MRI, the nonuniformities are more complex due to the imaging with multiple coils that typically have different overall sensitivities…

Improving Cell Detection and Tracking in Microscopy Images Using YOLO and an Enhanced DeepSORT Algorithm

Mokhaled N. A. Al-Hamadani; Richard Poroszlay; Gabor Szeman-Nagy et al.

Sensors, Vol. 25 No. 14 · 2025 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Accurate and automated detection and tracking of cells in microscopy images is a persistent challenge in biotechnology and biomedical research. Effective detection and tracking are crucial for understanding biological processes and extracting meaningful data for subsequent simulations. In this…

Whole brain resting-state analysis reveals decreased functional connectivity in major depression

Ilya M. Veer; Christian Beckmann; Marie-Jose Van Tol et al.

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, Vol. 4 · 2010 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Recently, both increases and decreases in resting-state functional connectivity have been found in major depression. However, these studies only assessed functional connectivity within a specific network or between a few regions of interest, while comorbidity and use of medication was not always…
