The efficacy of mandatory medically supervised preoperative weight loss (MPWL) prior to bariatric surgery continues to be a controversial topic. The purpose of this observational study was to assess the efficacy of a MPWL program in a single institution, which mandated at least 10 % excess body weight loss before surgery, by comparing outcomes of patients undergoing primary bariatric surgery with...
This paper presents a dynamic simulation tool for examining the future impact of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on residential sector power demand. First, the modeling approach used during the development of this tool is described. Markov chain based occupant behavior models developed using data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) are used in conjunction with...
This paper presents a MATLAB based dynamic simulation tool for estimating demand response potential from residential loads. First, a review of residential demand response strategies is conducted. Next, the modeling approach used during the development of this tool is described. Markov chain based occupant behavior models constructed using data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in the American Time...
This paper presents a statistical method for modeling the behavior of household occupants to estimate residential energy consumption. Using data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), actions carried out by survey respondents are categorized into ten distinct activities. These activities are defined to correspond to the major energy consuming loads commonly found...
We introduced haptic cues to the serial reaction time (SRT) task alongside the standard visual cues to explore the relative contributions of haptic and visual cues to motor memory and perceptual memory. Motor learning is a complex process that likely depends on the availability of haptic sensory feedback. Motor learning is also often an implicit process, wherein the learner is not even aware that...
