Don’t See the Dwellings for the Trees: Quantifying the Effect of Tree Growth on Multi-temporal Dwelling Extraction in a Refugee Camp [PDF]
GI_Forum, 2015 Automated and visual approaches for the monitoring of refugee or IDP camps based on satellite data are very important as independent information sources, especially for insecure and remote areas. Nevertheless, monitoring based on satellite data always has a certain degree of uncertainty, e.g. due to data quality, complexity of the area of investigation,

Extracting Dwell Time Sequences from Processive Molecular Motor Data [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Processive molecular motors, such as kinesin, myosin, or dynein, convert chemical energy into mechanical energy by hydrolyzing ATP. The mechanical energy is used for moving in discrete steps along the cytoskeleton and carrying a molecular load. Single-molecule recordings of motor position along a substrate polymer appear as a stochastic staircase ...

Performance of a demand controlled mechanical extract ventilation system for dwellings [PDF]
Journal of Sustainable Design and Applied Research in Innovative Engineering of the Built Environment, 2013 The main aim of ventilation is to guarantee a good indoor air quality, related to the energy consumed for heating and fan(s). Active or passive heat recovery systems seem to focus on the reduction of heating consumption at the expense of fan electricity consumption and maintenance.
