Standard practices for measuring the economic performance of investments in buildings and building systems have been published by ASTM. A computer program that produces economic measures consistent with these practices is available. The computer program is described in Appendix X3. Discount Fact...

1.1 This practice covers the optimization of flame atomic absorption spectrometers and the checking of spectrometer performance criteria.

Efficient support for querying large-scale resource description framework (RDF) triples plays an important role in semantic web data management. This paper presents an efficient RDF query engine to evaluate SPARQL queries, where the inverted index structure is employed for indexing the RDF triples. ...

A robust model predictive control algorithm for discrete linear systems with both state and input delays subjected to constrained input control is presented, where the polytopic uncertainties exist in both state matrices and input matrices. The algorithm optimizes an upper bound with respect to a st...
