THERMOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A THERMOREGULATING INTERIOR COATING CONTAINING A BIO-SOURCED PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL

Thermophysical Characterization of a Thermoregulating Interior Coating Containing a Bio-Sourced Phase Change Material

This paper presents the work carried out as Personal Care part of a study of a proactive interior coating based on both plaster and a phase change material (PCM), intended to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.This bio-based PCM is composed of a mixture of vegetable oils, methyl stearate, and methyl palmitate micro-encapsulated into polymer

Clustering by Partitioning around Medoids using Distance-Based Similarity Measures on Interval-Scaled Variables

It is reported in this paper, the results of a study of the partitioning around medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm applied to four datasets, both standardized and GIFTS/DECHOMEFRAGCANDLES not, and of varying sizes and numbers of clusters.The angular distance proximity measure in addition to the two more traditional proximity measures, namely the Eu

A New Method for Short Text Compression

Short texts cannot be compressed effectively with general-purpose compression methods.Methods developed to compress short texts often use static dictionaries.In order to achieve high compression ratios, using a static dictionary suitable Napkin Holder for the text to be compressed is an important problem that needs to be solved.In this study, a met
