Possible benefits of capillary flow glazing in translucent wall elements (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nestle, N., Pulbere, S., & Alston, M. (2018). Possible benefits of capillary flow glazing in translucent wall elements. In N/a

In many cases, artificial lighting and cooling are the two main factors for energy consumption in office buildings. This is even true for fully glazed buildings where directly transmitted natural light often needs to be controlled by shading in order...

Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1 (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mazzucchelli, E. S., Romano, R., Aelenei, L., Da, M., Gomes, G., Karlessi, T., …Aelenei, D. (2018). Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1. In N/a

Buildings often adopt strategies based on the integration of solutions and technologies in façades capable of changing their behaviour in time to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Considering that the envelope is the main parameter that influenc... Read More about Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1.

Blood pressure estimation from photoplethysmogram and electrocardiogram signals using machine learning (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, S., Zaki, W., Morgan, S., Cho, S.-Y., Correia, R., Wen, L., & Zhang, Y. (2018). Blood pressure estimation from photoplethysmogram and electrocardiogram signals using machine learning. In IET Doctoral Forum on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence 2018 (BRAIN 2018). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2018.1721

Blood pressure measurement is a significant part of preventive healthcare and has been widely used in clinical risk and disease management. However, conventional measurement does not provide continuous monitoring and sometimes is inconvenient with a...

Comparison of truck fuel consumption measurements with results of existing models and implications for road pavement LCA (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Perrotta, F., Parry, T., Neves, L. C., Buckland, T., Benbow, E., & Viner, H. (2018). Comparison of truck fuel consumption measurements with results of existing models and implications for road pavement LCA.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used to evaluate the impact of all lifecycle phases of road pavements on the environment. From the late ‘90s, this technique has continuously evolved and improved, however, there are still limitations and u...

An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gomez De Leon, A. B., Rodrigues, L., Gillott, M., & Calautit, J. (2018). An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing. In N/a

Thermal evaluation of building envelopes is useful to approach efficient solutions for energy savings. Meteorological parameters represent an important role for this analysis. Future climate scenarios are considered to study climate behavior to provi... Read More about An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing.

Modelling adaptive systems using plausible Petri nets (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chiachío, J., Chiachío, M., Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. (2018). Modelling adaptive systems using plausible Petri nets. In 8th International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing, “ Computing with Confidence ”

One of the main challenges when analyzing and modelling complex systems using Petri nets is to deal with uncertain information, and moreover, to be able to use such uncertainty to dynamically adapt the modelled system to uncertain (changing) contextu...
