Façade deterioration prediction with the use of machine learning methods, based on objective parameters and e-participation data

Condition monitoring and timely repair of residential buildings is an important task when ensuring a comfortable life in cities. In the case of large metropolitan areas, it is a difficult task to perform continuous objective condition monitoring for tens of thousands of residential buildings by efforts of experts. However, residential infrastructure health can be predicted on the basis of indirect data. These can be objective building parameters or subjective data on citizens’ complaints about deterioration. In cities today, it is possible to collect such data in machine-readable form from various information systems. This article proposes a method to predict external deterioration of buildings on the basis of indirect data, using machine learning and SMILE Low-coding platform. Based on the results of method approbation, which used data of a metropolis, the significance of electronic participation data and objective parameters of objects for façade deterioration forecast was assessed. Options for further research are proposed to improve the quality of deterioration predicting by using data on citizens’ complaints about infrastructure damage.

Machine-readable representations of hippocampal neuron properties to facilitate investigative analytics

Event Abstract Back to Event Machine-readable representations of hippocampal neuron properties to facilitate investigative analytics David J. Hamilton1*, Diek W. Wheeler1, Charise White1, Alexander O. Komendantov1, Christopher L. Rees1, Sean T. Mackesey1, Maurizio Bergamino1, Prerak S. Dalal1 and Giorgio A. Ascoli1 1 George Mason University, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, United States Extensive effort has been expended toward mining books and peer-reviewed articles to establish dense coverage of neuronal types within the hippocampal formation. Experimental evidence includes morphological, electrophysiological, and molecular-marker expression, with morphology providing the primary basis of neuron-type definitions. The motivation for representing literature-mined data in machine-readable form is to facilitate investigative analytics. These may range from the computational modeling of networks gleaned from potential connectivity between neuronal types to the correlation of molecular markers with morphology derived through electronically searchable neuronal properties. Hippocampome.org (Figure 1) is an information portal that makes knowledge of these machine-readable neuron properties accessible via both human and application programming interfaces. Previously intractable analytics of this coverage of hippocampal neuronal property descriptions are now made possible with the advent of the Hippocampome.

Mapping of bibliographical standards into XML

AbstractThe most popular bibliographical standards, which prescribe the exchange of bibliographical data in machine readable form, are MARC (Machine Readable Cataloguing) and UNIMARC (Universal Machine Readable Cataloguing). This paper presents two schemas, both written in the XML schema language: the UNIMARC format schema and the XML bibliographical records schema. The instance of the UNIMARC format schema is an XML document of UNIMARC format. This schema provides easier updating and adjusting of the UNIMARC format at the national or regional level. It was also the basis for the development of the XML editor for UNIMARC format description. The instance of the XML bibliographical records schema is an XML bibliographic record. This schema provides very thorough control of the contents and structure of bibliographical records, whether they were directly created as XML records or converted to XML from existing UNIMARC records. The validation process is implemented in the Java environment, with the Sun Multi‐Schema XML Validator (MSV) package. The author is aware of the inevitable question of redundant information contained in these two schemas and proposes some possible solutions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Detailed Energy Surveys of Nondomestic Buildings

This paper gives a summary of the fundamental features of the methods used to collect and record information on energy use in nondomestic buildings. The influence on these methods of the essential data requirements for creating a national database of energy use in the UK nondomestic building stock is described. The development of suitable techniques for energy surveying, data recording, and subsequent analysis is explained briefly. Detailed descriptions of standard procedures for collecting relevant information, recording data in machine-readable form, and producing results on energy use are provided, by using an appropriate example for illustration.

S. ; Ford, V. L. Abstract I-band luminosities, rotational velocities, and redshifts of 1092 spiral galaxies have been measured by CCD photometry and Hα spectroscopy using the 1 m and 2.3 m telescopes at Siding Spring Observatory, respectively. The results are tabulated. Luminosity profiles and Hα rotation curves are given for the galaxies. When these results are combined with similar data for 1355 spiral galaxies published previously (Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn, hereafter Paper I), it provides a large, uniform, and unique data set with which to measure, via the Tully-Fisher relation, the peculiar velocities of galaxies in the local universe to a distance of 11,000 km s^-1^ (Mathewson & Ford). Taking advantage of the opportunity for publishing this data in machine-readable form, in the CD-ROM, we have also included similar data for the 1355 galaxies in Paper I.

Automating the Library of Congress Classification Scheme

Potential uses for classification data in machine readable form and reasons for the development of a standard, the USMARC Format for Classification Daata, which allows for classification data to interact with other USMARC bibliographic and authority data are discussed. The development, structure, content, and use of the standard is reviewed with implementation decisions for the Library of Congress Classification scheme noted. The author examines the implementation of USMARC classification at LC, the conversion of the schedules, and the functionality of the software being used. Problems in the effort are explored, and enhancements desired for the online classification system are considered.

EDI's role as an enabler for electronic commerce and information integration

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a form of electronic communication designed to permit trading partners (customers and suppliers), in two or more organizations, to exchange business transaction data in electronic, structured formats. Unique to EDI, the electronic transmission of the transaction information can be processed directly by the applications within the receiving computer systems. The transmission of data in machine readable form eliminates the need for manual intervention in the data entry or data manipulation process. EDI is a tool for the electronic transmission and integration of information interorganizationally. A growing number of leading edge engineering and construction companies from around the world are implementing EDI applications to improve operational efficiency, enhance information quality, and achieve reductions in processing time of project critical information. EDI facilitates electronic commerce and is particularly useful in international construction endeavours. This paper provides an overview of EDI, discusses EDI applications in engineering and construction (E & C), outlines the status of international EDI standards development as it relates specifically to the E & C industry, and summarizes corporate benefits commonly attributable to EDI implementation.

The Donne variorum textual collation program

At its organizational meeting in the fall of 1981, the Advisory Board of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne debated the merits of existing editions of Donne's poetry. Aware of approximately eighty-seven manuscript sources and nearly 400 seventeenth-century printings of individual Donne poems unknown to Donne's previous editors, we decided to make a newly edited text a part of the project. Responsibility for developing such a text was accepted by John T. Shawcross (University of Kentucky), Ted-Larry Pebworth (University of Michigan-Dearborn), and ErnestW. Sullivan, II (TexasTech University). Shortly afterward these scholars and the General Editor of the project began to investigate possibilities for computerizing this work, recognizing that such a procedure would not only increase the efficiency and accuracy of our transcription and collation, but also enable us to preserve the accumulated data in machine-readable form. Thus would be obviated (at least partially) the need for future Donne editors or scholars to retrace the path through this immense morass of manuscript and printed material. Our investigations eventually led to the convenient and relatively inexpensive microcomputer and to the integrated method of data entry and textual collation described below. 1 Editing Donne's poetry is an unusually complicated business because only one holograph poem survives and because only a handful of his 190-odd poems saw print in his lifetime.

Optical mark recognition

DP managers need a sensible solution to the data entry bottleneck. Data in machine readable form is a readily available answer. Optical mark reading (OMR) is the art of reading marks and converting them into alphanumeric records to be stored directly in the computer. It is useful where online interaction is not required, or where documents do not have to be produced anyway.

Conformation therapy at the Royal Free Hospital. A progress report on the tracking cobalt project.

A computer-controlled tracking cobalt unit (CCTCU) was commissioned for treating patients in January 1980. The system has proved to be reliable and acceptable in routine use for conventional and conformation therapy. The system comprises a modified TEM MS90 Mobaltron, a Hewlett-Packard System 1000 Model 30 mini-computer and user programmes. Tracking techniques are suitable for the treatment of tumours of the oesophagus, thyroid, bronchus, chains of lymph nodes or medulloblastoma. Tumours 85 cm long can be treated at the isocentre. The high dose volume may be considerably reduced when tracking techniques are used instead of conventional techniques. The major obstacle to the routine use of conformation therapy is treatment planning. Work in progress is designed to produce a computerized planning system linking a CT scanner and the CCTCU. It is expected that the system will produce both a plan optimized in 3-D and the necessary control data in machine readable form within an hour of a patient being scanned. The present planning system is based on a Rad-8 planning system and an Alderson phantom to verify the dose distribution in 3-D. An outline of the tracking technique is given. The computer control system is described briefly, with its methods of use for treating patients. Brief reverence is made to work at other centres using conformation therapy.

Non-American census data in machine readable form

Most of the countries of the world have conducted a census of population during the last ten years, and almost every country hasf plans to conduct such a census at some time during the next decade. The two exceptions are Iceland and Denmark, which are considering the use of Population Registers as a substitute for population censuses. Census data are almost always processed with the aid of a computer. As a byproduct of this processing, all central statistics offices have basic record tapes (individual records for every enumerated household and/or person). Summary tables-those which are subsequently published, as well as others-are frequently also available in machine-readable form. In addition, public-use sample tapes (records from a sample of the enumerated households and/or individuals, usually stripped of identifying information) may also exist. Census data have long been used by demographers and other social science researchers to investigate a diverse assortment of questions concerning fertility, migration, family composition, the distribution of certain social and economic variables in specified populations, etc. Since this type of research usually involves the use of computers, the availability of census data already in machinereadable form would not only save time and money but broaden the number, and range of complexity, of the research problems open to investigation. However, until recently, little information has been available concerning the existence of machinereadable census data or the willingness of central statistical offices to release these rinfn for nrc,-nror niurnn<epe In November 1973, an initial inquiry concerning national population and housing censuses was sent by the author to 160 central statistics offices. That inquiry covered such items as dates of last and next censuses, the use of computers for internal processing, and the release of data in machine-readable form for use by researchers. Seventy-five responses were received to this inquiry, and these responses were presented and discussed in an article in Population Index in October 1974. In order to update that report and gather additional information, in April 1975 reprints of that article, together with a covering letter and a new questionnaire, were mailed out to a slightly expanded list of central statistics offices (copies of the letter and the questionnaire are available from the author). Efforts were made to make both the letter and the questionnaire as simple and straightforward as possible in order to encourage response and avoid ambiquity. It was hoped that the inclusion of the previous report would also serve to encourage response, particularly from those countries who had not responded to the earlier inquiry. Since the out-ofpocket costs of this second mailing were supported by the International Statistics Program Center of the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the questionnaire was modified to meet the needs of that office by adding questions on post-enumeration surveys and on publication of national and regional data, by requesting a printed list of tables, and by introducing more detail to the computer questions. As of this writing, there have been 93 responses to the second mailing. Many of these were from countries which had responded to the first mailing. Taken to-

Data on International Organizations: Availability and Needs

In fall 1972 a program was initiated, under the auspices of the International Studies Association, to identify and collect existing sets of data in machine readable form on international organizations. This article is intended to serve three purposes: to report on the progress of the International Organization Data Archive Project, to publicize the archive's existence and to stimulate its use, and to share some thoughts on international organization data stimulated by our data gathering experiences.

Library Service from Numerical Data Bases: The 1970 Census as a Paradigm

This article discusses some of the problems of introducing machine­ readable data bases intp the library service environment. The authors, a social scientist at a computer center, and a government documents librarian, describe the diverse approaches used in making tapes of the 1970 Census of Population and Housing available to users through the library. LARGE RESEARCH LIBRARIES have tradi­ tionally been depositories for all of the maps and printed reports which are the products of each decennial census. Therefore it is a logical next step for them also to be the repository of these data in machine-readable form. First, this provides reference librarians with another resource for users whose needs are not satisfied by searching the printed materials, since the quantity of addi­ tional data which can be stored com­ pactly on magnetic tape has made it pos­ sible for the Bureau of the Census to make available to the public at least ten times the amount of data available from any previous census. Second, re­ search libraries are generally located at institutions which also have available large computers capable, of selecting, di­ gesting and analyzing these data and, if tapes are available, it becomes unneces­ sary for the user requiring a machine analysis to photocopy pages from re­ ports and then keypunch the data. Rath­ er, it becomes possible for a researcher to begin with the data already in rna
