The value of bipv projects: A deliberative lifecycle analysis
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) refers to photovoltaic or solar cells that are integrated into the building envelope to generate 'free' energy from sunshine. BIPV product development has been...

© 2015 SPIE. Changes in behavioral traits exhibited by small aquatic invertebrates are increasingly postulated as ethically acceptable and more sensitive endpoints for detection of water-born...
View ArticleGammarusChip: Innovative lab-on-a-chip technology for ecotoxicological...
Traditional marine ecotoxicity testing is inherently labor intensive, requiring extensive manual procedures both to set up the tests and more importantly to collect experimental readouts. Moreover,...
View ArticleBiological implications of lab-on-a-chip devices fabricated using multi-jet...
Current microfabrication methods are often restricted to two-dimensional (2D) or two and a half dimensional (2.5D) structures. Those fabrication issues can be potentially addressed by emerging additive...
View ArticleBearings only tracking in clutter with observer control using the Bernoulli...
The paper deals with autonomous bearings-only tracking of a single appearing/disappearing target in the presence of detection uncertainty (false and missed detections) with observer control. The...
View ArticleA parametric Bayesian RMC gamma-ray image reconstruction
Rotational modulation collimation (RMC) is a technique commonly used for standoff imaging of radiological sources in the context of homeland security. The paper presents a novel method for gamma ray...
View ArticlePerformance Evaluation of Random Set Based Pedestrian Tracking Algorithms
The paper evaluates the error performance of three random finite set based multi-object trackers in the context of pedestrian video tracking. The evaluation is carried out using a publicly available...
View ArticleA pedestrian multiple hypothesis tracker fusing head and body detections
We present a multiple hypothesis pedestrian tracker for surveillance video that combines head and whole-body detections. The multiple hypothesis tracker deals with ambiguity in track-to-observation...
View ArticleA tracker based on a CPHD filter approach for Infrared applications
Since the derivation of PHD filter, a number of track management schemes have been proposed to adapt the PHD filter for determining the tracks of multiple objects. Nevertheless, the problem remains...
View ArticleBayesian estimation of the rates in a stochastic biochemical reaction network
Dynamics of biological processes is typically specified by a system of coupled biochemical stochastic reactions, whose reaction rates are the unknown parameters. The paper proposes a Bayesian algorithm...
View ArticleDecisions and designs for building enterprise learning systems within an...
Student learning data is now a currency of value for both our educational institutions and the increasing number of third party providers that complement and extend the university learning management...
View ArticleCharacterizing leakage current on polluted insulators by measuring nonlinearity
A new approach based on a nonlinearity measure to study the leakage current signature is proposed. Using this approach profiles for clean insulators, contaminated insulators with various contamination...
View ArticleSqueeze: Landscape learning as an exploration between hand, body and books
This paper presents a collaborative practice producing artists' books in the teaching of landscape architectural design. The collaboration arose from a shared scepticism with conventional modes of...
View ArticleThe relationship between graduate development programs and organisational...
Sequential mixed methods research was conducted to evaluate the success of graduate development programs implemented by construction organisations. The current paper reports on the second phase of the...
View ArticleChiminey: reliable computing and data management platform in the cloud
The enabling of scientific experiments that are embarrassingly parallel, long running and data-intensive into a cloud-based execution environment is a desirable, though complex undertaking for many...
View ArticleAn integrated micromechanical large particle in flow sorter (MILPIS)
At present, the major hurdle to widespread deployment of zebrafish embryo and larvae in large-scale drug development projects is lack of enabling high-throughput analytical platforms. In order to...

here continues to be strong interest among established, experienced academic users of 3D virtual environments for their sustained educational use. Consistent with global trends, they plan to further...
View ArticleEfficient update of persistent particles in the SMC-PHD filter
The paper is devoted to the implementation of the Sequential Monte Carlo Probability Hypothesis Density (SMC-PHD) filter. A measurement driven proposal for persistent target particles requires the...
View ArticleJoint detection and tracking using multi-static Doppler-shift measurements
The problem is to establish the presence and subsequently to track a target using multi-static Doppler shift measurements. The assumption is that in the surveillance volume of interest a single...
