Calibrated Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta Modulators
(2010-07-14)To provide more information mobility, many wireless communication systems such as WCDMA and EDGE in phone systems, bluetooth and WIMAX in communication networks have been recently developed. Recent efforts have been made ... -
Calibration of Tangential Paddlewheel Insertion Flowmeters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)This paper reports on the efforts to calibrate flow sensors that are being used to monitor building thermal energy use in a large scale monitoring project. Several insertion-type paddlewheel meters are being tested with a ... -
An Energy Analysis Of A Large, Multipurpose Educational Building In A Hot Climate
(2012-02-14)In this project a steady-state building load for Constant Volume Terminal Reheat (CVTR), Dual Duct Constant Volume (DDCV) and Dual Duct Variable Air Volume (DDVAV) systems for the Zachry Engineering Building has been ... -
Entropy theory for derivation of infiltration equations
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)An entropy theory is formulated for modeling the potential rate of infiltration in unsaturated soils. The theory is composed of six parts: (1) Shannon entropy, (2) principle of maximum entropy (POME), (3) specification ... -
Evidence-based calibration of a building energy simulation model: Application to an office building in Belgium
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)Energy services play a growing role in the control of energy consumption and the improvement of energy efficiency in non-residential buildings. This work consists in the application of a simulation-based approach dedicated ... -
Formal Calibration Methodology for CFD Model Development to Support the Operation of Energy Efficient Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a robust tool for modeling interactions within and between fluids and solids. CFD can help understand and predict phenomena that are difficult to test experimentally leading to cleaner, ... -
Measuring and Improving the Reliability of Probabilistic Assessments in Petroleum Engineering
(2018-08-09)Petroleum industry performance has been consistently below expectations. This underperformance has been attributed in part to the existence of cognitive biases in project evaluation, resulting in poor project valuation and ... -
The Method of Manufactured Universes for Testing Uncertainty Quantification Methods
(2011-02-22)The Method of Manufactured Universes is presented as a validation framework for uncertainty quantification (UQ) methodologies and as a tool for exploring the effects of statistical and modeling assumptions embedded in ... -
Shifting Focus: A New Theory Explaining Harmful Overconfidence in Students
(2019-06-12)Students are often overconfident (or otherwise metacognitively inaccurate) about how they will perform on exams, a condition that can have negative consequences for students as they may stop studying prematurely and perform ... -
Simultaneous calibration of a microscopic traffic simulation model and OD matrix
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)With the recent widespread deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in North America there is an abundance of data on traffic systems and thus an opportunity to use these data in the calibration of microscopic ... -
Synchrophasors: Multilevel Assessment and Data Quality Improvement for Enhanced System Reliability
(2019-01-02). This study presents a comprehensive framework for testing and evaluation of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and synchrophasor systems under normal power system operating conditions, as well as during disturbances such ... -
Vision based navigation system for autonomous proximity operations: an experimental and analytical study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This dissertation presents an experimental and analytical study of the Vision Based Navigation system (VisNav). VisNav is a novel intelligent optical sensor system invented by Texas A&M University recently for autonomous ...
