Orca: a language for parallel programming of distributed systems

A detailed description is given of the Orca language design and the design choices are discussed. Orca is intended for applications programmers rather than systems programmers. This is reflected in its design goals to provide a simple, easy...

Cybersecurity and Ethics

Even though the term “cybersecurity” was not used at the beginning of computer development, the problems associated with it existed at a very early stage and became increasingly important in parallel with the rapid spread of computers as we...

Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a widely used term with highly diverse, frequently subjective, and occasionally uninformative definitions. Disrupting force processes in national security and the economy can be disastrous. The challenge of meeting safety a...

Neural networks in process fault diagnosis

Fault detection and diagnosis is an important problem in process automation. Both model-based methods and expert systems have been suggested to solve the problem, along with the pattern recognition approach. A number of possible neural netw...

Artificial neural networks in process engineering

Artificial neural networks are made up of highly interconnected layers of simple ‘neuron-like’ nodes. The neurons act as nonlinear processing elements within the network. An attractive property of artificial neural networks is that, given t...

A general regression neural network

A memory-based network that provides estimates of continuous variables and converges to the underlying (linear or nonlinear) regression surface is described. The general regression neural network (GRNN) is a one-pass learning algorithm with...

Theory of the backpropagation neural network

The author presents a survey of the basic theory of the backpropagation neural network architecture covering architectural design, performance measurement, function approximation capability, and learning. The survey includes previously know...

Neural Networks for Chemical Engineers

Part 1 Theoretical issues: an introduction to artificial neural networks, D.T. Pham unsupervised neural learning, E. Oja back-propagation and its variations, D. Tsaptsinos the general approximation problem for feed-forward neural networks, ...

Recommended Steps for Thematic Synthesis in Software Engineering

Thematic analysis is an approach that is often used for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within data in primary qualitative research. 'Thematic synthesis' draws on the principles of thematic analysis and identifies th...

A campus-scale 5G NR radio propagation dataset integrating drive-test measurements, 3D environmental geometry, and ray tracing.

Advances and perspectives for receiver function imaging of the Earth's internal discontinuities and velocity structures

Studying the structures, properties and origins of the Earth's internal discontinuities is an important part in the efforts to understand the physical and chemical properties of the layered Earth, as well as to explore the dynamic processes...

Multiwavelength Study of Five Distant Transient Gamma-Ray AGNs with z > 1

The multiwavelength emissions, especially gamma-rays, of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are essential for studying the physical properties of jets emanating from supermassive black holes at galaxy centers. However, for high-redshift AGNs, it...

Chemical and Orbital Signatures of Three Hypervelocity Stars: Constraints on the Origins

We present a chemodynamical analysis of three hypervelocity stars (HVS) selected from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope medium-resolution spectroscopic survey and Gaia. The high-resolution follow-up observation w...

Exploring the Impact of the Aging Effect on Inferred Properties of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections

In situ measurements of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) when they pass over an interplanetary probe are one of the main ways we directly measure their properties. However, such in situ profiles are subject to several observational constraints...

TeV Diffuse Emission From the Inner Galaxy

The TeV diffuse emission from the Galactic plane is produced by multi TeV electrons and nuclei interacting with radiation fields and ambient gas, respectively. Measurements of the TeV diffuse emission help constrain CR origin and transport ...

Discrimination of Non-Local Correlations

In view of the importance of quantum non-locality in cryptography, quantum computation, and communication complexity, it is crucial to decide whether a given correlation exhibits non-locality or not. As proved by Pitowski, this problem is N...

Consumo de energia, emissões de co2 e a geração de renda e emprego no agronegócio brasileiro: uma análise insumo–produto

The article evaluates the structure of Brazilian agribusiness in their components such as income, employment, sectorial energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. An energy matrix with 56 consumer sectors compatible with the 56 sectors of Brazi...

Experimental examination on physical and radiation shielding features of boro-silicate glasses doped with varying amounts of BaO

Investigations were conducted on the addition of barium's impact on the radiation shielding and physical attributes of five different glasses, designated S1–S5, with varying BaO contents. Using two point sources namely Co60 and Cs137 along ...
