A Distance Metric for Uneven Clusters of Unsupervised K-Means Clustering Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a new distance metric for the K-means clustering algorithm. Applying this metric in clustering a dataset, forms unequal clusters. This metric leads to a larger size for a cluster with a centroid away from the origi...

Battery Energy Storage Capacity Estimation for Microgrids Using Digital Twin Concept

Globally, renewable energy-based power generation is experiencing exponential growth due to concerns over the environmental impacts of traditional power generation methods. Microgrids (MGs) are commonly employed to integrate renewable sourc...

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 ...

A Systematic Literature Review on Modern Cryptographic and Authentication Schemes for Securing the Internet of Things

The rapid integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into healthcare ecosystems has revolutionized patient monitoring and data accessibility; however, it has simultaneously expanded the cyber-attack surface, leaving sensitive medical data ...

Experimentation in software engineering

A framework is presented for analyzing most of the experimental work performed in software engineering over the past several years. The framework of experimentation consists of four categories corresponding to phases of the experimentation ...

Living standard and access to tetanus toxoid immunization among women in Bangladesh

Abstract Background Although Bangladesh has an impressive track record in the reduction of maternal and child mortality, tetanus, a dreadful disease, impedes the way to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in this respect. Sufficient ...

Identification of confounders and estimating the causal effect of place of birth on age-specific childhood vaccination

Abstract Background In causal analyses, some third factor may distort the relationship between the exposure and the outcome variables under study, which gives spurious results. In this case, treatment groups and control groups that receive ...

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...

Eight-Day Typhoon Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts in Taiwan by the 2.5 km CReSS Model, Part II: Reduced Control of Track Errors on Rainfall Prediction Quality for Typhoons Associated with Southwesterly Flow

Due to the enhancement by its steep mesoscale topography, the overall rainfall amount and distribution in Taiwan from typhoons, to a first degree, are determined by the storm track relative to the island. Therefore, the quality of typhoon q...
