Three-Dimensional Physical and Optical Characteristics of Aerosols over Central China from Long-Term CALIPSO and HYSPLIT Data

Aerosols greatly influence global and regional atmospheric systems, and human life. However, a comprehensive understanding of the source regions and three-dimensional (3D) characteristics of aerosol transport over central China is yet to be...

Techno-Economic Analysis of Grid-Connected PV Battery Solutions for Holiday Homes in Sweden

Grid-connected PV battery systems for private homes are becoming increasingly popular in many countries, including Sweden. This study aimed to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of such distributed, grid-connected PV battery systems f...

Distribution Patterns of Iron-Oxidizing Zeta- and Beta-Proteobacteria From Different Environmental Settings at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields

Iron oxidizers are widespread in marine environments and play an important role in marine iron cycling. However, little is known about the overall distribution of iron oxidizers within hydrothermal systems, including settings with little hy...

Tumor probability mapping of fluorescence intensity during image-guided surgery of head and neck cancer

Abstract Achieving negative surgical margins remains a critical determinant of local recurrence and survival in head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery. Current intraoperative margin assessment techniques, including frozen section analysis, suff...

Load Sharing in Distributed Systems

An important part of a distributed system design is the choice of a load sharing or global scheduling strategy. A comprehensive literature survey on this topic is presented. We propose a taxonomy of load sharing algorithms that draws a basi...

Synthetic biology open language (SBOL) version 3.1.0

Synthetic biology builds upon genetics, molecular biology, and metabolic engineering by applying engineering principles to the design of biological systems. When designing a synthetic system, synthetic biologists need to exchange informatio...

A Model to Predict Heart Disease Treatment Using Data Mining

Background and Aim: Nowadays heart disease is very common and is a major cause of mortality. Proper and early diagnosis of this disease is very important. Diagnostic methods and treatments of the disease are so expensive and have many side ...

Recommendation Systems for Software Engineering

Software development can be challenging because of the large information spaces that developers must navigate. Without assistance, developers can become bogged down and spend a disproportionate amount of their time seeking information at th...

Experimentation in software engineering

Like other sciences and engineering disciplines, software engineering requires a cycle of model building, experimentation, and learning. Experiments are valuable tools for all software engineers who are involved in evaluating and choosing b...

Lessons Learned From a Sequential Mixed-Mode Survey Design to Recruit and Collect Data From Case-Control Study Participants: Formative Evaluation

BackgroundSequential mixed-mode surveys using both web-based surveys and telephone interviews are increasingly being used in observational studies and have been shown to have many benefits; however, the application of this survey design has...

Information theory and statistics

The main theorems in information theory and statistics are put in context, the differences are discussed, and some of the open research problems are mentioned. The author demonstrates some of the points of intersection of information theory...

Impact of various sociodemographic factors on oral hygiene of mentally retarded residing in Bhopal city, Madhya Pradesh: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Oral health of the mentally retarded (MR) has received scant attention in the literature compared with the normal child even though they are much sufferer. Aim: To assess the impact of various sociodemographic factors on oral ...

A new extension of linear failure rate distribution with estimation, simulation, and applications

In this article, we provide a new three-parameter model derived from the newly reduced Cauchy power-G family and linked to the linear failure rate model. The truncated Cauchy power linear failure rate (TCPLFR) is the name given to this dist...

Information Theory and Statistics.

Probability and Statistics in Engineering

This book retains the pedagogical strengths that made the previous editions so popular, including the use of real data in the examples. Topics include nonparametric statistics, a section on p-values in hypothetical testing, coverage of resi...

Discovering Statistics Using Ibm Spss Statistics

Unrivalled in the way it makes the teaching of statistics compelling and accessible to even the most anxious of students, the only statistics textbook you and your students will ever need just got better! Andy Field's comprehensive and best...

Prior Season Crop Type Masks for Winter Wheat Yield Forecasting: A US Case Study

Monitoring and forecasting crop yields is a critical component of understanding and better addressing global food security challenges. Detailed spatial information on crop-type distribution is fundamental for in-season crop condition monito...

Korean Red Ginseng exhibits no significant adverse effect on disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study

Background: Panax ginseng is a well-known immune modulator, and there is concern that its immune-enhancing effects may negatively affect patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by worsening symptoms or increasing the risk of adverse effects...

A Novel Slow-Growing Gross Error Detection Method for GNSS/Accelerometer Integrated Deformation Monitoring Based on State Domain Consistency Theory

The accuracy and integrity of structural deformation monitoring can be improved by the GNSS/accelerometer integrated system, and gross error detection is the key to further improving the reliability of GNSS/accelerometer monitoring. Traditi...

Information Science and Statistics

The interface between information science and statistics is more often implicit that explicit. It is true that the rapid growth of computer technology and the development of a better understanding of how to handle large amounts of data, has...
