Journal Article

This paper introduces a comprehensive cooling index to assess performance of cooling systems in data centers and demonstrates its application on a real case by using CFD (computational fluid mechanics) method. The proposed methodology provides a metr... Read More about Performance assessment of cooling systems in data centers; Methodology and application of a new thermal metric.

The effect of employing nanofluid on reducing the bore length of a vertical ground-source heat pump (2016)
Journal Article

In our era ground-source heat pumps are known as energy-efficient air conditioning systems. However, their high initial costs are a major obstacle to the widespread use of such systems. In this study, the effects of using Al2O3/water nanofluid as hea... Read More about The effect of employing nanofluid on reducing the bore length of a vertical ground-source heat pump.

Modeling spatial layout for scene image understanding via a novel multiscale sum-product network (2016)
Journal Article

Semantic image segmentation is challenging due to the large intra-class variations and the complex spatial layouts inside natural scenes. This paper investigates this problem by designing a new deep architecture, called multiscale sum-product network...

Performance comparison between KNN and NSGA-II algorithms as calibration approaches for building simulation models (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, a study of calibration methods for a thermal performance model of a building is presented. Two calibration approaches are evaluated and compared in terms of accuracy and computation speed. These approaches are the 𝑘 Nearest Neighbour (...

Male red throat coloration, pelvic spine coloration, and courtship behaviours in threespine stickleback (2016)
Journal Article

Background: In addition to exhibiting red nuptial throat coloration, male threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) often possess red coloration on their pelvic spines. Although
variation in throat colour has been shown to be associated with... Read More about Male red throat coloration, pelvic spine coloration, and courtship behaviours in threespine stickleback.

Additive Manufacturing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Current Status, Recent Advances, and Future Perspectives (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Over the past two decades, we have witnessed increased interest in rapidly growing unmanned aerial vehicles technologies triggered by numerous commercial applications.
