This investigation focuses on the identification of building type specific occupants and their characteristics, requirements and living practices.
The justification for the questionnaire is to consolidate into one instrument questions of six specific domains about occupants' energy consumption patterns, from the behavioural and psychological perspectives.
Although not specific to rear-seated occupants, this is consistent with previous studies that report a higher probability of injury in occupants seated on the near-side compared to occupants seated on the far-side (Newgard et al. 2005; Ryb et al. 2009).
Alternatively — or in some cases, additionally — these virtues might attach to persons qua occupants of specific institutional roles, e.g. impartiality in a judge or objectivity in a journalist.
The observed variations in the identified parameters could be applied for predicting the APMS responses reflected on the pan as well as backrest of the human occupants with specific body mass.
By law, the new president must conduct a review of the nation's nuclear posture, and Mr. Gates's address could be viewed as advocating a specific agenda for the next occupant of the White House.
This concept of bacterial species was contrasted with the ecotype model, where a species is defined as an occupant of a specific ecological niche, where periodic selection allows formation and persistence of genetic clusters (Koeppel et al. 2008; Fraser et al. 2009; Shapiro and Polz 2014).
The other perspective is to provide a domain specific language that enables home occupants or building managers to specify their devices (i.e., sensors, actuators) and the objectives they want to achieve.
The probable risk of evacuees in the institutional buildings was then evaluated for certain exit dimensions with the door carrying capacity, with considerations of the uncertainties of the probable occupant loads and the specific flow rates at the exit.
We used the median reported data from the National Human Activity Patterns Survey (NHAPS) (Klepeis et al. 2001) to establish meal times and to establish archetypal home occupancy patterns based on occupant age (0 5, 6 17, 18 64, ≥ 65 years) and weekend or weekday (for specific assignments, see Supplemental Material, Table S2).
