crowded scenes. A new concept of atomic event is introduced into this framework, which is the basic component of video events. Different from previous bag-of-words (BoW) modeling-based methods that represent feature descriptors using only one code word, a feature descriptor is represented using a few more atomic events in bag-of-atomic-events (BoAE) modeling. Consequently, the approximation error is reduced by using the obtained BoAE representation. In the context of abnormal event detection, BoAE representation is more suitable to describe abnormal events than BoW representation, because the abnormal event may not correspond to any code word in BoW modeling. Fast latent Dirichlet …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper studies the dynamic characteristics of an isolated three-phase self-excited synchronous reluctance generator (SESRG) driven by a variable-speed wind turbine under different operating conditions. Self-excitation is achieved via capacitors connected across the generator terminals. A detailed mathematical modeling of the proposed self-excited wind generation system is presented. The proposed analysis is based on the dynamic qd-axis model of the SESRG. Magnetic saturation is taken into account and is assumed to be confined to the direct axis and is accounted for as a variable direct-axis magnetizing reactance. Effect of wind-speed variation, excitation-capacitance variation, and loading-conditions variation on the generated output …

Parameterized Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Wake Model Using Cfd Vorticity Data, Andrew Ning, Eric Tingey
Faculty Publications
In order to analyze or optimize a wind farm layout, reduced-order wake models are often used to estimate the interactions between turbines. While many such models exist for horizontal-axis wind turbines, for vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) a simple parametric wake model does not exist. Using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations we computed vorticity in a VAWT wake, and parameterized the data based on normalized downstream positions, tip-speed ratio, and solidity to predict a normalized wake velocity deficit. When compared to CFD, which takes about a day to run one simulation, the reduced-order model predicts the velocity deficit at any location …

A method is presented utilizing networks of lamina emergent joints, known as lamina emergent arrays, to accommodate large-curvature developable structures suited to deployable applications. By exploiting the ruling lines in developable surfaces, this method enables developable structures and mechanisms that can be manufactured with two-dimensional geometry and yet have a greater range of elastic motion than is possible with a solid sheet of material. Aligning the joints to the ruling lines also biases the structure to a specific deployment path. A mathematical model is developed to describe the resulting stiffness of the structure employing the lamina emergent arrays and equations …

However, accurate predictive simulations require physically realistic submodels with low computational requirements. In particular, comprehensive char oxidation and gasification models have been developed that describe multiple reaction and diffusion processes. This work focuses on the sensitivity of a recent comprehensive char conversion code named CCK, which treats surface oxidation and gasification reactions as well as the processes such as film diffusion, pore diffusion, ash encapsulation, and …
Novel H.265 Video Traffic Prediction Models Using Artificial Neural Networks, Collin Daly
Novel H.265 Video Traffic Prediction Models Using Artificial Neural Networks, Collin Daly
Honors College Theses
In this work, we propose the use of non-linear, autoregressive neural network models for predicting video frame sizes. This model utilizes H.265 encoded video traces as inputs and the predicted future frame sizes as outputs. This model is developed to predict ultra-high definition video frame encoded with H.265 within IP networks. The video I, P, and B frames are predicted separately to improve model prediction accuracy. This approach is verified in MATLAB using various H.265 video traces. The results indicate that the proposed models were able to predict the video traffic fairly accurately.
