Research is needed to explore the limitations and potential for improvement of machine learning for building energy prediction. With this aim, the ASHRAE Great Energy Predictor III (GEPIII) Kaggle competition was launched in 2019. This effort was the largest building energy meter machine learning competition of its kind, with 4,370 participants who...

This paper describes an open data set of 3,053 energy meters from 1,636 non-residential buildings with a range of two full years (2016 and 2017) at an hourly frequency (17,544 measurements per meter resulting in approximately 53.6 million measurements). These meters were collected from 19 sites across North America and Europe, with one or more mete...

The miniplates fabrication process involves the co-rolling at high temperatures of a welded ensemble made up of a monolithic Uranium-Molybdenum (UMo) core surrounded by a frame and two Zircalloy-4 (Zry-4) covers. The alloys employed in this work contained 10% (mass) of Molybdenum (Mo). Temperature and compressive stress are both important parameter...

The studies of high density nuclear fuels led us to work with Uranium Molybdenum alloys and Zry-4 as cladding. Nowadays, the study is focused on the application of this alloy to monolithic fuel plates development. The Zry-4 alloy used as cladding material is extensively known in the nuclear industry due to its low neutron capture section efficiency...

The Uranium Molybdenum alloy was the material chosen to develop the fabrication of high density nuclear fuel [1]. At present, the study is focused on the application of this alloy to monolithic fuel plate development [2, 3]. The Zry-4 alloy used as cladding material is extensively known in the nuclear industry due to its low neutron capture section...

According to the results obtained in the fabrication process of UMo/Zry-4 miniplates [1], we decided to study diffusion couples in different conditions in order to evaluate the effect on the final product. With this method we could assume that the temperature and compressive stress are important parameters that can modify the interaction between...
