Prediction of Eddy Current Losses in Cooling Tubes of Direct Cooled Windings in Electric Machines
and also by experimental measurements. Evidently, the proposed method is simple and fast to be constructed and it is almost free of cost.
Feature Engineering for ICU Mortality Prediction Based on Hourly to Bi-Hourly Measurements
Mortality prediction for intensive care unit (ICU) patients is a challenging problem that requires extracting discriminative and informative features. This study presents a proof of concept for exploring features that can provide clinical insight. Through a feature engineering approach, it is attempted to improve ICU mortality prediction in field c...
Superpixel Segmentation Based on Anisotropic Edge Strength
Superpixel segmentation can benefit from the use of an appropriate method to measure edge strength. In this paper, we present such a method based on the first derivative of anisotropic Gaussian kernels. The kernels can capture the position, direction, prominence, and scale of the edge to be detected. We incorporate the anisotropic edge strength int...
Chronicle of a Failure Foretold: 2017 Rector Election at Ghent University
After more than half a year of elections (yielding three voting stages and nine voting rounds), the 2017 Rector election at Ghent University (Belgium) resulted in a victory for the duo leading all nine voting rounds, and in a resounding defeat for the electoral system. Significant regulation changes were needed in order to break the institutional d...
A Collaborative Stakeholder Decision-Making Approach for Sustainable Urban Logistics
s spatial context. To demonstrate the applicability of the suggested approach, we extract the route sustainability cost from the traffic sign database, and implement the findings on a real-life example. Furthermore, the suggested approach exhibits a high level of transferability to various local contexts, where local stakeholders might have a diffe...
Moufang sets and structurable division algebras
A Moufang set is essentially a doubly transitive permutation group such that each point stabilizer contains a normal subgroup which is regular on the remaining vertices; these regular normal subgroups are called the root groups, and they are assumed to be conjugate and to generate the whole group. It has been known for some time that every Jordan d...
On the index of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups
In this note we study the analytical index of pseudo-differential operators by using the notion of (infinite dimensional) operator-valued symbols (in the sense of Ruzhansky and Turunen). Our main tools will be the McKean-Singer index formula together with the operator-valued functional calculus developed here.
A taxonomy of monotonicity properties for the aggregation of multidimensional data
The property of monotonicity, which requires a function to preserve a given order, has been considered the standard in the aggregation of real numbers for decades. In this paper, we argue that, for the case of multidimensional data, an order-based definition of monotonicity is far too restrictive. We propose several meaningful alternatives to this ...
Data mining application in assessment of weather-based influent scenarios for a WWTP : getting the most out of plant his...
Since the introduction of environmental legislations and directives, the impact of combined sewer overflows (CSO) on receiving water bodies has become a priority concern in water and wastewater treatment industry. Time-consuming and expensive local sampling and monitoring campaigns are usually carried out to estimate the characteristic flow and pol...
