Use of microarray technology often leads to high-dimensional and low-sample size (HDLSS) data settings. A variety of approaches have been proposed for variable selection in this context. However, only a small number of these have been adapted for time-to-event data where censoring is present....

The society and the building professionals have paid much concern in recent years on building energy efficiency and the development and applications of low energy technologies for buildings/green buildings allowing the elimination, or at least reduction of dependence on electricity or fossil...

Ground source heat pump system attracts increasing attention worldwide in the past decades. It uses soil as the heat source/sink to supply heating and cooling to buildings. In the cooling dominated area, ground source heat pump system couples with the supplemental heat rejecter to avoid the...

Hybrid ground source heat pump (HGSHP) system coupled with supplemental heat rejection equipment in parallel configuration is suitable for buildings where the cooling load is much higher than the heating load. Appropriate control is expected to improve its energy efficiency. A control strategy...

Water footprint is a research hotspot in the field of water resource. Gray water footprint is important in the assessment of environmental effects on water resource. In this short communication, a new gray water footprint assessment method was proposed as: WFgray(α, β, ϒ). Here α is an index...
