Building resilience into today’s complex infrastructures is critical to the daily functioning of society and its ability to withstand and recover from natural disasters, epidemics and cyber-threats. This study proposes quantitative measures that capture
Inheritance of classes defines the implementation of an object in terms of the implementation of another object. In short, it is a mechanism to share code and its representation. Interface inheritance Interface inheritance or subtype only defines when an object can be used. Inheritance Statically def...
Numerical optimization has been ubiquitous in antenna design for over a decade or so. It is indispensable in handling of multiple geometry/material parameters, performance goals, and constraints. It is also challenging as it incurs significant CPU expens
Large numbers of incomplete, unclear, and unspecific submissions on idea platforms hinder organizations to exploit the full potential of open innovation in
11,12 Moreover, they measure only the current respiratory rate, which may change drastically within a short period.13 These demerits may be overcome by the use of a noninvasive and continuous CO2 measurement device, such as a capnograph. A study conducted by Transparency Market Research ...
of grading (short)answers to open-ended questionnaires becomes tougher. Their outcomes are precious both for the very grading and for providing students with “ad hoc” feedback. ASAG proposals have also enabled different intelligent tutoring systems. Over the years, a variety of ASAG solutions ...
Technical notes: respond to material published in the journal or closely related topics, repair a flaw in the definition and approach or stimulate further thinking, or provide additional technical details on a CAD theory, technology, methodology, product or application. Dataset papers: discuss creation...
The whale optimization algorithm has received much attention since its introduction due to its outstanding performance. However, like other algorithms, the whale optimization algorithm still suffers from some classical problems. To address the issues of
Engineering simulation accelerates the development of reliable and repeatable design processes in various domains. However, the computing resource consumption is dramatically raised in the whole development processes. Making the most of these simulation
More and more universities are moving toward electronic exams (in short e-exams). This migration exposes exams to additional threats, which may come from t
