The purpose of this study is to understand how positive and negative factors influence people on performing electricity-saving behaviors in households based on the MOA theory and “Green Consumption Behavior Model”. Research data were collected through a professional market survey, in which the 1,067 sampling respondents represent the characteristics of Taiwanese population. This study found that,...
One of the most prevalently used in renewable energies is solar energy. Solar sources are used in many applications such as mobile energy, home energy usage and so on. Solar systems can directly convert the solar radiation into electricity. This paper presents a low-cost and adaptive control strategies for lithium-ion battery as an energy storage of solar systems. For optimizing and actually safe...
Many distributed control algorithms of current interest can be modeled by linear recursion equations of the form x(t + 1) = M(t)x(t), t ≥ 1 where each M(t) is a real-valued “stochastic” or “doubly stochastic” matrix. Convergence of such recursions often reduces to deciding when the sequence of matrix productsM(1), M(2)M(1), M(3)M(2)M(1), … converges. Certain types of stochastic and doubly stochastic...
This paper addresses the clinically challenging problem of hairline mandibular fracture detection from a sequence of Computed Tomography (CT) images. A hairline fracture of critical clinical importance, can be easily missed due to the absence of sharp surface and contour discontinuities and the presence of intensity inhomogeneity in the CT image, if not scrutinized carefully. In this work, the 2D...
