Application of Neural Networks for the Prediction of the Energy Consumption in a Supermarket Abstract: (2008)

D. Datta, S. A. Tassou, D. Marriott

It has been shown by previous researchers that Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) not only be used to predict energy more reliably than traditional simulation models and regression techniques but can...

Dynamic Testing of Precast, Post-Tensioned Rocking Wall Systems with Alternative Dissipating Solutions (2008)

Marriott, D., Pampanin, S., Bull, D., Palermo, A.
