Linked data vocabularies for BIM

2019

Given the high interest in the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling) for Linked Data approaches over the last years, the article at hand presents an evaluation of the main Linked Data vocabularies available for the considered domain. First, Semantic Web layer architecture is presented, along with the 4 main principles of Linked Data. Second, each vocabulary is evaluated according to these 4 principles, while 2 additional ones are added in order to assess the licence associated with the vocabulary (open or not, specified or missing). An overall comparison among the considered vocabularies is also provided, thus helping in choosing which vocabulary to use in future Linked Data applicat…

Performance evaluation of Wireless Sensor Networks based on ZigBee technology in smart home

2013

International audience; Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has diverse application domains such as smart home, smart care, industrial, etc. In this paper, we present a WSN system based on the ZigBee technology (IEEE 802.15.4) in Smart Home. To have a good sensor networks communication implanted in a smart home, studies of operating performance on this network is important. In this work, we investigate the performance of our ZigBee sensor networks. The study of performance is based on measurements of the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in different parts of the Home. We will also discuss the impact of electromagnetic noise on the communication performance of a ZigBee Sensor Network in…

A note on Hilbert’s weak nullstellensatz

2015

In this article, through a suitable generalization of the well-known notion of spectrum of an element of an arbitrary normed algebra of Operator Theory, it will be possible to give another simple proof of the Hilbert’s Weak Nullstellensatz.

Exact simulation of diffusion first exit times: algorithm acceleration

2020

In order to describe or estimate different quantities related to a specific random variable, it is of prime interest to numerically generate such a variate. In specific situations, the exact generation of random variables might be either momentarily unavailable or too expensive in terms of computation time. It therefore needs to be replaced by an approximation procedure. As was previously the case, the ambitious exact simulation of exit times for diffusion processes was unreachable though it concerns many applications in different fields like mathematical finance, neuroscience or reliability. The usual way to describe exit times was to use discretization schemes, that are of course approxim…

Tungsten oxide thin films sputter deposited by the reactive gas pulsing process for the dodecane detection

2015

International audience; The DC reactive magnetron sputtering of a metallic tungsten target was performed in an argon + oxygen atmosphere for depositing tungsten oxide thin films. In order to control the oxygen concentration in the films, the reactive gas pulsing process, namely RGPP, was implemented. Rectangular pulses were used with a constant pulsing period T = 16 s whereas the duty cycle α (time of oxygen injection to pulsing period T ratio) was systematically changed from 0 to 100% of T. This pulsing injection of the reactive gas allowed a gradual evolution of the films composition from pure metallic to over-stoichiometric WO3+ɛ’ compounds. These WOx films were sputter deposited on comm…

Effect of moisture uptake on flax-reinforced composite laminates: influence on dynamic and quasi-static properties

2016

International audience; This study proposes to investigate the effect of moisture uptake on a wide spectrum of mechanical behaviours of unidirectional flax fibre-reinforced epoxy laminates. It includes tensile monotonic and fatigue testing. Results show that UD flax-epoxy composites, whenexposed to hygrothermal conditioning at 70°C and 85% RH, exhibit a diffusion kinetic which follows a one dimensional Fickian behaviour. The mass uptake at equilibrium is approximately 3.3 % and the diffusion coefficient 6.5 10-6 m2.s-1. Water vapour sorption is shown to induce a significant change in the shape of the tensile stress-strain curve. Contrary to all expectations, water saturation does not degrad…

A Robust Multi Stage Technique for Image Binarization of Degraded Historical Documents

2017

International audience; Document image binarization is a central problem in many document analysis systems. Indeed, it represents one of the basic challenges, especially in case of historical documents analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel robust multi stage framework that combines different existing document image thresholding methods for the purpose of getting a better binarization result. CLAHE technique is introduced to significantly enhance contrast in some poor images. The proposed method then uses a hybrid algorithm to partition image into foreground and background. A special procedure is finally applied in order to remove small noise and correct characters morphology. Experime…
