The daily nighttime lights (NTL) and the amount of location-service requests (NLR) data have been widely used as a proxy for measures of disaster-induced power outages and geo-tagged human activity dynamics.However, the association between the two datasets is not well understood.In this study, we investigated how the NTL signals and geo-tagged huma
Weakly nonlinear response of noisy neurons
We calculate the instantaneous firing rate of a stochastic integrate-and-fire neuron driven by an arbitrary time-dependent signal up to second order in the signal amplitude.For cosine signals, this weakly nonlinear theory reveals: (i) a frequency-dependent change of the time-averaged Commercial Espresso Machine firing rate reminiscent of frequency
Radiant waste heat recovery from steelmaking and glass industry
This paper tackles the problem of industrial waste heat recovery through an unexploited heat transfer mechanism: thermal radiation.Energy intensive industries have a considerable potential Applicator of unused radiant heat, which cannot be recovered through existing methods.That potential Hard Tops energy is quantified for the main identified indus
