Text similarity measurement is a link between basic research such as text modeling and upper-level application research of text potential information. In order to improve the accuracy of text similarity measurement, this paper...
In order to get sparsity clustering ability of unbalanced cloud data set, combined with adaptive environment density screening, data clustering was carried out, and an improved adaptive environment density peak clustering...
The 2013 floods in Alberta highlighted the need for better flood prediction. Though the mechanisms behind floods and extreme events in urban areas are understood and documented, the uncertainty in data during these events makes...
Both short- and long-term dependence of the peak flow series of 90 Canadian rivers were analyzed two decades ago. It showed that although short-term dependence was practically absent for most of the flow series, significant...
Recently, a reversible data hiding (RDH) method was proposed based on local histogram shifting. This method selects the peak bin of the local histogram as a reference and expands the two neighboring bins of the peak bin to carry...
The return on investment (RIO) of a Liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plant is lower than that of conventional power plants with high pollution due to the “take or pay” supply mode of natural gas and the two-shift peak shaving...
This presentation describes how singing is re-ignited in Singapore primary schools through the professional development initiative by Singapore Teachers’ Academy for the aRts (STAR). Singing brings joy to the child and often...
Infrared spectroscopy is a ubiquitous technique used to characterize unknown materials in the form of solids, liquids, or gases by identifying the constituent functional groups of molecules through the analysis of obtained...
Many real-world problems can be transformed into multimodal functional optimization. Each of these problems may include several globally optimal solutions, rendering the solution of the problem progressively more difficult. In...
One of the methods which could improve the safety performance of construction organizations is the safety climate approach which is helpful to know the existing maturity level of the safety climate and to develop plans to...
The interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has grown in the last few years. The healthcare community is no exception. The present work is focused on the exchange of medical information, using the Health Level Seven (HL7)...
This study empirically investigates how the different e-payment methods performed during the pandemic as an alternative medium to the traditional mode of payment. E-payment methods namely Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)...
The authors conducted a worldwide survey to explore the experiences of higher education faculty who converted classes to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most respondents experienced much higher workloads and...
Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus satellite images presents an important data source for many applications related to remote sensing. An effective image restoration method is proposed to fill the missing information in the...
Common methods of synthesizing metallic nanoparticles are chemical and physical. However, they are expensive and use toxic chemicals. Green synthesis is less costly and safer hence a potential alternative. Silver nanoparticles...
Photovoltaic (PV) array under partial shading conditions (PSCs) has several maximum power points (MPPs) on the power-voltage curve of the PV array. These points; have a unique global peak (GP) and the others are local peaks...
In addition to good accommodation and sports infrastructure, Slovenia has an extremely developed system of training, testing, and rehabilitation of athletes. Slovenian athletes have always topped in various sports providing...
In this study, the integrated modified whale optimization and modified fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm using morphological operations are developed and implemented for appropriate knowledge extraction of a cyst from computer...
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool that is commonly used to assess the degradation of lithium-ion battery electrolyte solutions. However, dissolution of paramagnetic Ni2+ and Mn2+ ions from cathode...
Steganography is a widely-used technique for digital data hiding. Image steganography is the most popular among all other kinds of steganography. In this article, a novel key-based blind method for RGB image steganography where...
On the premise of guaranteeing the visual effect, in order to improve the security of the image containing digital watermarking and restore the carrier image without distortion, reversible data hiding in chaotic encryption...
We describe the Milky Way Survey (MWS) that will be undertaken with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Mayall 4 m telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. Over the next 5 yr DESI MWS will observe...
This paper proposes a wideband CMOS power amplifier (PA) with integrated digitally assisted wideband pre-distorter (DAWPD) and a transformer-integrated tunable-output impedance matching network. As a continuation of our previous...
Quantitative detection of virus-like particles under a low concentration is of vital importance for early infection diagnosis and water pollution analysis. In this paper, a novel virus detection method is proposed using indirect...
