Effective non-intrusive load monitoring of buildings based on a novel multi-descriptor fusion with dimensionality reduction by Yassine Himeur (14158821)

“…This paper presents an efficient non-intrusive load monitoring framework that consists of the following main components: (i) a novel fusion of multiple time-domain features is proposed to extract appliance fingerprints; (ii) a dimensionality reduction scheme is introduced to be applied to the fused time-domain features, which relies on fuzzy-neighbors preserving analysis based QR-decomposition. …”

Prevalence and attributable health burden of chronic respiratory diseases, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 by Joan B Soriano (6458528)

“…In this study, we aimed to characterise the burden of chronic respiratory diseases globally, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on geographical and time trends from 1990 to 2017. Methods Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017, we estimated the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality attributable to chronic respiratory diseases through an analysis of deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and years of life lost (YLL) by GBD super-region, from 1990 to 2017, stratified by age and sex. …”
