Identifying gene clusters by discovering common intervals in indeterminate strings
(2014)BMC GenomicsBackground Comparative analyses of chromosomal gene orders are successfully used to predict gene clusters in bacterial and fungal genomes. Present models for detecting sets of co-localized genes in chromosomal sequences require prior knowledge of gene family assignments of genes in the dataset of interest. These families are often computationally predicted on the basis of sequence similarity or higher order features of gene products. ...Conference Paper -
Estimation of base-values for Grey Energy, Primary Energy, Global Warming Potential (GWP 100A) and Umweltbelastungspunkte (UBP 2006) for Swiss constructions from before 1920 until today
(2014)This paper presents a framework to estimate base-values for embodied energy and CO2 emissions of the Swiss building stock. These values are estimated for existing, renovated and future constructions. Using the approach of Fonseca et al. (2014), the impacts of standing and future buildings at the urban scale can be calculated from these values. The framework allows to quickly estimate the environmental impact of a set of buildings from its ...Conference Paper -
Από την αναζήτηση μιας νεωτερικότητας που θα μπορούσε να είναι ταυτόχρονα ελληνική προς μια πολλαπλότητα του παρόντος: Η “ελληνικότητα” στην αρχιτεκτονική ή η αρχιτεκτονική στην Ελλάδα
(2014)Πώς θα αντιλαμβανόταν κανείς το έργο του Δημήτρη Πικιώνη και του Άρη Κωνσταντινίδη αν υιοθετούσε μια προσέγγιση που βασίζεται στην ενσωμάτωση ετερόκλητων μεταξύ τους στοιχείων σε ένα αρχιπέλαγος σχέσεων αρνούμενη τόσο τη μυθοποίηση της επιστροφής στις ρίζες όσο και την προσπάθεια καθορισμού της κατεύθυνσης της ιστορίας; Ο Κωνσταντινίδης φαίνεται να επιδιώκει την ανακάλυψη της πορείας που δικαιώνει στο τέλος την όλη μορφή αναζητώντας τις ...Conference Paper -
Spectral comparison of low-weight and UAV-based hyperspectral frame cameras with portable spectroradiometer measurements
(2014)Kölner geographische Arbeiten ~ Proceedings of the Workshop on UAV-basaed Remote Sensing Methods for Monitoring VegetationThe non-destructive monitoring of crop growth status with field-based or tractor-based multi- or hyperspectral sensors is a common practice in precision agriculture. The demand for flexible, easy to use, and field scale systems in super-high resolution (<20 cm) or on single plant scale is given to provide in-field variability of crop growth status for management purposes. Satellite and airborne systems are usually not able to provide the ...Conference Paper -

Multi-temporal Crop Surface Models derived from terrestrial laser scanning for accurate plant height measurement and biomass estimation of barley
(2014)Kölner geographische Arbeiten ~ Proceedings of the Workshop on UAV-based Remote Sensing Methods for Monitoring VegetationResearch in the field of precision agriculture is becoming increasingly important due to the growing world population whilst area for cultivation remains constant or declines. In this context, methods of monitoring in?season plant development with high resolution and accuracy are necessary. Studies show that terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can be applied to capture small objects like crops. In this contribution, the results of multi-temporal ...Conference Paper -
An n-th Order Generalization of the Activity Measure for Continuous Systems
(2014)ITM Web of Conferences ~ Proceedings of the Activity-Based Modeling and Simulation Workshop (ACTIMS 2014) : 16 - 18 January 2014, Zurich, SwitzerlandIn this work we present an analytical expression that generalizes the definition of activity measure in continuous time signals. We define the activity of order n and show that it allows to estimate the number of sections of polinomials up to order n that are needed to represent that signal with certain accuracy. We apply this concept to obtain a lower bound for the number of steps performed by quantization–based integration algorithms ...Conference Paper
