Precipitation over this region shows a large inter-annual variability and is vital for several sectors such as agriculture/horticulture, transportation, tourism, hydropower projects and water resources and management. Excess precipitation over this region causes landslides/avalanches and impacts livelihoods ...
archives, policy statements, or official statistics over centuries, in different languages (Azerbaijani, Russian, Turkish, French, and German). By analyzing and categorizing these broad data using strict qualitative methods of text analysis (Strauss & Corbin,2014...
The basis for the analysis is a mine by mine database built over more than 25 years monitoring all mines in the world: production, ownership and other details not only for Chinese companies but also for all companies (Raw Materials Data; Ericsson2011). A detailed understanding of the size a...
The two terms D and γ should be solved simultaneously in Equation (3). The construction of the adaptive over-complete dictionary is an iterative process, and there are two stages in every iteration, namely, sparse coding and dictionary update [23]: (1) Sparse coding. In this stage, assu...
In 1994, in a seminal work, Adleman [1] solved an instance of the Hamilton path problem using a bunch of DNA strands, giving birth to a new branch of DNA computing. This further resulted in many other new branches, such as DNA-based data storage, DNA origami, and chemical computing. ...
The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is one of China’s busiest shipping hubs and fishery production centers, as well as a region with abundant island tourism and wind energy resources, which calls for accurate short-term wind forecasts. First,
A promising space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction in progress in New Mexico of Spaceport America, the world's first facility built specifically for passengers.British industrialist Richard Branson's space tours firm, Virgin Galactic, will use the facility to send tourists...
The governing equations for the system are numerically solved using a robust numerical method, known as the Spectral Local Linearization Method. The Gauss–Seidel technique was employed to improve the convergence rate of the derived solutions. The machine time required to execute the suggested approach...
Using the data of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 1995 to 2017, according to formulas (1)–(8), the ecological benefits of cultivated land protection in the economic belt and the ecological benefits of cultivated land per unit area can be obtained (Table 1). The results show that the...
The reconstruction of the real LZ relief using its convolution with impulse response (IR) (i.e., using a VS) is called ‘deconvolution’. For such reconstruction, it is necessary to know the parameters of the IR. The problem of deconvolution can be solved by the transformation of the ...
