The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Seifhashemi, M., Elkadi, H., & Fitton, R. (2020, September). The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation. Poster presented at 5th Building Simulation and Optimization 2020 Conference, Virtual

Solid wall dwellings are in high energy demand and need to be treated by energy retrofit measures such as internal wall insulation (IWI). U-value is the key parameter for energy saving evaluations. There are uncertainties about the U-values of solid... Read More about The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation.

Movies emotional analysis using textual contents (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Kayhani, A., Meziane, F., & Chiky, R. (2020, June). Movies emotional analysis using textual contents. Presented at 25th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, NLDB 2020, Saarbrücken, Germany

In this paper, we use movies and series subtitles and applied text mining and Natural Language Processing methods to evaluate emotions in videos. Three different word lexicons were used and one of the outcomes of this research is the generation of a... Read More about Movies emotional analysis using textual contents.

Predicting average annual electricity outage using electricity distribution network operator's performance indicators (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Silva, C., & Saraee, M. (2020, February). Predicting average annual electricity outage using electricity distribution network operator's performance indicators. Presented at 2020 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET), Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Electricity Distribution network operators (DNO) may receive a monetary reward or have a penalty reliant on their performance against the target set by the regulators. Customer minutes lost (CML) is one of the primary performance indicators which lea...
