Minimization of dual Reed-Muller forms using dual property. WSEAS Transactions on Circuits and Systems, 6, 9-15
We present two algorithms in this paper: the first is used to convert between Product of Sums (POS) and Positive Polarity Dual Reed-Muller (PPDRM) forms; while the second algo...
An investigation of possible improvements in accuracy of regressions between diffuse and global solar irradiation.
Journal Article
Clarke, P., Munawwar, S., Davidson, A., Muneer, T. & Kubie, J. (2007)
An investigation of possible improvements in accuracy of regressions between diffuse and global solar irradiation. Building Service Engineering Research and Technology. 28, 189-197. doi:10.1177/0143624407076907
Horizontal hourly and sub-hourly diffuse and beam irradiance are required for the estimation of global irradiance on a given tilted surface. This information is used by engine...
