Dynamic energy contracts, offering hourly varying day-ahead prices for electricity, create opportunities for a residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to not just optimize the self-consumption of solar energy but also capitalize on price differences. This work examines the financial potential …

This research focuses on some globalillumination techniques from the past several years that are reimplemented for relevant (to the time ofthe research) software - a low-level graphics API, such as DirectX 12, and hardware - a modern GPUwith hardware-accelerated raytracing, such as NVIDIA RTX2060. The …

Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a distance measure to compare time series that exhibit similar patterns. In this paper, we will show how the warping path of the DTW algorithm can be interpreted, and a framework is proposed to extend the DTW algorithm. Using this framework, we will show how the dynamic …

Live programming is a style of development characterized by incremental change and immediate feedback. Instead of long edit-compile cycles, developers modify a running program by changing its source code, receiving immediate feedback as it instantly adapts in response. In this paper, we propose an approach …

In this chapter we consider a security game between an agent and an intruder to find optimal strategies for patrolling against illegal fishery. When patrolling large areas that consist of multiple cells, several aspects have to be taken into account. First, the current risk of the cells has to be considered …

The objective of an energy management strategy for fuel cell hybrid propulsion systems is to minimize the fuel needed to provide the required power demand. This minimization is defined as an optimization problem. Methods such as dynamic programming numerically solve this optimization problem. Strategies …

An existing fuel cell hybrid distribution truck, built for demonstration purposes, is used as a case study to investigate the effect of stack (kW) and battery (kW, kWh) sizes on the hydrogen consumption of the vehicle. Three driving cycles, the NEDC for Low Power vehicles, CSC and JE05 cycle, define …

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most commonly diagnosed peripheral neuropathy due to entrapment. This syndrome is currently being diagnosed clinically, often confirmed through the use of neural conductivity studies (NCS). Over 25 percent of the cases are still missed using this method, while NCS …

This minimization is defined as an optimization problem. Methods such as dynamic programming numerically solve this optimization problem. Strategies …

In this paper the authors describe the iTasks workflow system. The iTasks system is a software library written in the declarative programming language Clean, which allows for the highlevel specification of multi-user workflows. An important advantage of the iTasks system above commercially available …
