Building occupant sensing : occupancy prediction and behavior recognition by Zhu, Qingchang

“…Occupancy levels are the coarse information, but occupants’ behaviors are the fine- grained ones. The occupant behavior recognition problem is further divided into simple motion-related activity recognition with inertial measurements and energy- related sound event recognition. …”

Energy management of microgrids by Ju, Chengquan

“…In order to deal with stochastic behaviors of RESs and loads in microgrids, scenario reduction techniques are extended by imposing auxiliary constraints so that the optimal solution space is narrowed down. By implementing the fine-tuned algorithm, case studies with benchmarks have well validated the reliability has been significantly enhanced at little cost of additional expenditure. …”

Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify cortical loci for lower limb movements and their efficacy for individuals after stroke by Choi, Minseok, Kim, Hyun-Chul, Youn, Inchan, Lee, Song Joo, Lee, Jong-Hwan

“…Background Identification of cortical loci for lower limb movements for stroke rehabilitation is crucial for better rehabilitation outcomes via noninvasive brain stimulation by targeting the fine-grained cortical loci of the movements. However, identification of the cortical loci for lower limb movements using functional MRI (fMRI) is challenging due to head motion and difficulty in isolating different types of movement. …”
