Visible light based occupancy inference using ensemble learning by Hao, Jie, Yuan, Xiaoming, Yang, Yanbing, Wang, Ran, Zhuang, Yi, Luo, Jun

“…As a key component of building management and security, occupancy inference through smart sensing has attracted a lot of research attention for nearly two decades. Recently, a cutting edge technique visible light sensing (VLS) that utilizes the LED luminaires as light sensors has shown its promising application potentials in occupancy inference as it piggybacks on pervasive lighting infrastructure without extra equipment deployment. …”

Intelligent database design for microgrids in low voltage distribution systems-I GUI and database design by Ng, Pei Fen

“…Climatic change can lead to consequences such as increasing cases of heat-related illness, endangering wildlife like polar bears and rising of sea level that would trigger natural disasters leading to individual losing their homes. [51] Due to extensively use of electricity in this contemporary society, there arises a need to seek for alternative energy sources, if at all possible renewable resources such as wind and solar. …”

New use of global warming potentials to compare cumulative and short-lived climate pollutants by Allen, MR, Fuglestvedt, JS, Shine, KP, Reisinger, A, Pierrehumbert, R, Forster, PM

“…If the overall goal of climate policy is to limit peak warming, GWP100 therefore overstates the importance of current SLCP emissions unless stringent and immediate reductions of all climate pollutants result in temperatures nearing their peak soon after mid-century7, 8, 9, 10, which may be necessary to limit warming to “well below 2 °C” (ref. 1). …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 96

“…Oil has defined the modern-day development of the Gulf region in a way seen in no other place in the world; together, the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are home to around a third of known global reserves of oil, and nearly a quarter of its natural gas. Saudi Arabia remains the world’s most important producer of conventional oil, and continues to hold the majority of the world’s spare capacity, while Qatar has become the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). …”

Higher education and public good in England by Marginson, S, Yang, L

“…There were 24 semi-structured interviews, with middle and senior manager-leaders in two universities and policy professionals. Nearly all advocated a broad public good role, in contrast to policy in England, and provided examples of public outcomes in higher education. …”

Search for CP violation in D0 → K0 SK0 S decays in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV by CMS Collaboration

“…The analysis uses a dedicated data set that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6 fb - 1 , which consists of about 10 billion events containing a pair of b hadrons, nearly all of which decay to charm hadrons. The flavor of the neutral D meson is determined by the pion charge in the reconstructed decays D ∗ + → D 0 π + and D ∗ - → D ¯ 0 π - . …”
