Accurate and sensitive temperature sensing is of great importance for studying biological activities in cells and tissues. Due to the complexity of the microenvironments, most of the existing thermometry systems cannot meet the needs of accurate intr...
Discoveries in biological neural networks (BNNs) shaped artificial neural networks (ANNs) and computational parallels between ANNs and BNNs have recently been discovered. However, it is unclear to what extent discoveries in ANNs can give insight into...
In recent years, physiological features have gained more attention in developing models of personal thermal comfort for improved and accurate adaptive operation of Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Pu...
Thermal comfort modeling has been of interest in built environment research for decades. Mostly the modeling approaches focused on an average response of a large group of building occupants. Recently, the focus has been shifted towards personal comfo...
Mt. Ainos in Kefalonia Island, Greece, hosts a large variety of plant species, some of them endemic to the region. Because of its rich biodiversity, a large portion of the mountain area is designated as National Park and is protected from human activ...
Perception can influence individuals' behaviour and attitude affecting responses and compliance to precautionary measures. This study aims to investigate the performance of methods for thermal sensation and comfort prediction. Four machine learning a...
Human thermal comfort is relevant to human life comfort and plays a pivotal role in occupational health and thermal safety. To ensure that intelligent temperature-controlled equipment can deliver a sense of cosiness to people while improving its ener...
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems in high-speed trains (HST) are responsible for consuming approximately 70% of non-operational energy sources, yet they frequently fail to ensure provide adequate thermal comfort for the majori...
The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is a thermal comfort index that describes how the human body experiences ambient conditions. It has units of temperature and considers physiological aspects of the human body. It takes into account the effec...
This study aims to investigate the predictive occupant demographic characteristics of thermal sensation (TS) and thermal satisfaction (TSa) as well as to find the most effective machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting TS and TSa. To achieve t...
