A predictive model for daylight performance based on multimodal generative adversarial networks at the early design stage
(2024)Energy and BuildingsIn the early building design stage, machine learning-based surrogate models demonstrate significant advantages in rapidly evaluating design performance compared to conventional simulation software. However, due to network limitations, current models struggle to incorporate comprehensive building information, leading to undesired generalizability in adapting to design variations. This study proposes a multimodal Generative Adversarial ...Journal Article -
An analytical model for seismic response analysis of electrical equipment-steel support structure
(2024)Journal of Constructional Steel ResearchElectrical equipment mounted on supporting structures is typical in a substation but vulnerable to earthquakes from previous field investigations. To evaluate the seismic performance of such an electrical equipment-support coupling system, a modal space analytical model was developed using the vibration partial differential equation (PDE) with distributed parameters and joint nodes. In the analytical model, resonant frequencies and mode ...Journal Article -
TOFG
(2024)IEEE Transactions on Intelligent VehiclesIn autonomous driving, an accurate understanding of the environment, e.g., the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-lane interactions, plays a critical role in many driving tasks, such as trajectory prediction and motion planning. Environment information comes from high-definition maps and historical trajectories of vehicles. To interpret and utilize such information for the two aforementioned driving tasks, both learning-based models and ...Journal Article -

Distance, transmission, and journey in the collective construction of an Itaaká
(2023)HUB - Journal of Research in Art, Design and SocietyThis exhibition discusses the collective construction of an ancestral instrument of the Terena indigenous people in the context of the artistic residency Con/Cri/Tec, held in 2023 at Casa do Povo, in São Paulo, and organized by the Center for Arts, Design and Social Research (CAD+SR). The functions of the Itaaká instrument, as well as the process of creating it in the residency, offered decolonial opportunities for understanding the idea ...Journal Article -

Bounding the Distance to Unsafe Sets With Convex Optimization
(2023)IEEE Transactions on Automatic ControlThis work proposes an algorithm to bound the minimum distance between points on trajectories of a dynamical system and points on an unsafe set. Prior work on certifying safety of trajectories includes barrier and density methods, which do not provide a margin of proximity to the unsafe set in terms of distance. The distance estimation problem is relaxed to a Monge-Kantorovich-type optimal transport problem based on existing occupation-measure ...Journal Article -
Political Agency and Implementation Subsidies with Imperfect Monitoring
(2023)The Journal of Law, Economics & OrganizationVoters are frequently ill-equipped to monitor politicians’ actions. Politicians are expected to implement projects, whose benefits sometimes partially accrue to interest groups (IGs) and not entirely to voters. IGs thus have an incentive to affect which projects politicians implement by providing implementation subsidies to lower the cost of policymaking that politicians incur. This article shows how these considerations interact in a ...Journal Article -
Houston in Real Life; Recording America
(2023)CiteCite 104, considers the legacy of Rice Design Alliance with interviews of some of the founding members and early contributors to Cite. Guest edited by Reto Geiser, Cite 104 examines Houston in its glory and its folly. Essays highlight proposed projects never built, the establishment of the Johnson Space Center, the Houston punk rock scene in the 1980s, the problem of housing, and more. New photography as well as art by Houston-area artists ...Journal Article -
In neonatal βENaC-transgenic mice CF-like lung disease causes a dilatation of the conducting airways which increases until adulthood
(2023)European Respiratory JournalCystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by thick airway mucus obstruction and enlarged small airways soon after birth. We hypothesized that CF might also influence early post-natal development of the conducting airways (CA). We aimed to compare the airspace diameters of CA in βENaC-transgenic (tg) mice with CF-like lung disease and control littermates at different stages of lung development (postnatal day (pnd) 3, 10, 21 and 36), by applying ...Journal Article
