Research on event perception based on geo-tagged social media data
(2019)Proceedings of the International Cartographic AssociationsTechnological advancement makes information dissemination more convenient. When a notable event occurs, social media serves a popular platform for citizens to share event-related information. Therefore, in the information age, how to effectively observe the event and improve event management ability is an open question worthy of attention. Traditional social survey methods and various automatic sensors have been widely used to monitor the ...Conference Paper -
Field-Urbanism: Reconstructing Agency of Architecture in Milan’s Coree
(2022)The Evolving ScholarResearch highlights The majority of buildings are not designed by architects, but are the result of processes and decisions that involve multiple actors (construction regulations, technical and industrial innovations, social norms, and practices). Does that mean that building practices without architects are more successful in satisfying the needs of users? What are the reasons for their success? Could architects learn from these ...Conference Paper -
Train delay and passenger travel time minimization in real-time railway traffic management
(2015)Railway service is a key factor to reduce congestion on highways and other means of transport, especially in densely populated areas, and to provide an eco-friendly and sustainable way of transport. In order to attract new customers from other transport modes, European countries defined challenging targets in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) that the railway companies should provide to their customers [2,16,20]. However, while the customers ...Conference Paper -

Biconvex Relaxation for Semidefinite Programming in Computer Vision
(2016)Lecture Notes in Computer Science ~ Computer Vision – ECCV 2016 14th European Conference, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, October 11-14, 2016, Proceedings, Part VISemidefinite programming (SDP) is an indispensable tool in computer vision, but general-purpose solvers for SDPs are often too slow and memory intensive for large-scale problems. Our framework, referred to as biconvex relaxation (BCR), transforms an SDP consisting of PSD constraint matrices into a specific biconvex optimization problem, which can then be approximately solved in the original, low-dimensional variable space at low complexity. ...Conference Paper -
Developments in the pre-combustion CO2 capture pilot plant at the Buggenum IGCC
(2011)Energy Procedia ~ 10th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control TechnologiesN.V. Nuon (part of the Vattenfall Group) operates an IGCC in Buggenum and is developing a multi-fuel IGCC with CO2 capture and storage (Nuon Magnum) in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. In order to prepare for large-scale application of CO2 capture and storage, a CO2 capture pilot plant is constructed at the Buggenum IGCC plant and will be ready for testing in January 2010. The overall objective of the CO2 Catch-up project is to demonstrate ...Conference Paper -
Assessing the effect of route information on network observability applied to sensor location problems
(2015)Transportation Research ProcediaLink flow observability in traffic networks strongly relies on where sensors are installed. Full observability solutions are found by adopting various techniques exploiting existing relationships between links, which are determined either by using link-node relations, or by link-route relations. While the first relations are elegant as they do not require explicit route enumeration and therefore remain tractable for large-sized networks, ...Conference Paper -
Integration of process and solvent design towards a novel generation of CO2 absorption capture systems
(2011)Energy Procedia ~ 10th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control TechnologiesA method for the integrated process and solvent design of absorption separation systems is proposed in this work. The method is employed here to improve the energetic performance of a pre-combustion CO2 absorption capture process by simultaneous optimization of process and solvent variables. In the proposed design method, the discrete nature of solvent molecules is relaxed avoiding the introduction of integer variables in the solution of ...Conference Paper
