Black-Box Optimization for Buildings and Its Enhancement by Advanced Communication Infrastructure
Advances in Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence Journal, 2013 The solution of repeated fixed-horizon trajectory optimization problems of processes that are either too difficult or too complex to be described by physics-based models can pose formidable challenges. Very often, soft-computing methods e.g.

Enabling Self-aware Smart Buildings by Augmented Reality
, 2018 Conventional HVAC control systems are usually incognizant of the physical structures and materials of buildings. These systems merely follow pre-set HVAC control logic based on abstract building thermal response models, which are rough approximations to ...

Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery in the Era of Robotics: Evolution, Eclipse, or Equilibrium?
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Minimally invasive colorectal surgery has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past three decades. Laparoscopy, once viewed with skepticism, is now firmly established as a standard approach, supported by robust randomized trials demonstrating oncologic safety and improved recovery compared to open surgery.

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

Statistical framework for condensation frosting incipience on smooth and nanostructured surfaces
Droplet, EarlyView.A statistical framework for frost incipience that considers the effect of surface wettability and captures the stochastic nature of both nucleation dynamics for condensation and droplet growth during the subsequent freezing process. Abstract Frost and ice formation on a solid surface is governed by nanoscale liquid‒solid intermolecular interactions ...
