This paper presents a novel time-adaptive quantile-copula estimator for kernel density forecast and a discussion of how to select the adequate kernels for modeling the different variables of the problem. Results are presented for different case-studies and compared with splines quantile...

A review of ground heat transfer effects on the thermal performance of earth contact structures is presented. The fundamental heat transfer processes relevant to the problem are described along with methods of determining thermal properties of soils. An overview of the many analytical,...
