Non-Destructive Testing Applications for Steel Bridges
(2021-10-19)The growing population and increasing demand for surface transportation have highlighted the importance of maintaining safe and reliable civil infrastructures for daily use. Among all civil infrastructures, bridges are one ... -
Spatiotemporal Analysis of Sea Ice Leads in the Arctic Ocean Retrieved from IceBridge Laxon Line Data 2012–2018
(2021-10-19)The ocean and atmosphere exert stresses on sea ice that create elongated cracks and leads which dominate the vertical exchange of energy, especially in cold seasons, despite covering only a small fraction of the surface. ... -
Intelligent Room-Based Identification of Electricity Consumption with an Ensemble Learning Method in Smart Energy
(2021-10-15)This paper frames itself in the realm of smart energy technologies that can be utilized to satisfy the electricity demand of consumers. In this environment, demand response programs and the intelligent management of energy ... -
A Fault Diagnosis Design Based on Deep Learning Approach for Electric Vehicle Applications
(2021-10-13)Diagnosing faults in electric vehicles (EVs) is a great challenge. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the detection of faults in an electromechanical conversion chain for conventional or autonomous EVs. The ... -
The Retreat of Mountain Glaciers since the Little Ice Age: A Spatially Explicit Database
(2021-10-09)Most of the world’s mountain glaciers have been retreating for more than a century in response to climate change. Glacier retreat is evident on all continents, and the rate of retreat has accelerated during recent decades. ... -
Participatory sensing-based semantic and spatial analysis of urban emergency events using mobile social media
(Volume 2016, Issue 1;, 2016-02-09)With the advances of information communication technologies, it is critical to improve the efficiency and accuracy of emergency management systems through modern data processing techniques. Geographic information system ... -
Ensemble-based multi-filter feature selection method for DDoS detection in cloud computing
(Volume 2016, Issue 1;, 2016-05-10)Widespread adoption of cloud computing has increased the attractiveness of such services to cybercriminals. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks targeting the cloud’s bandwidth, services and resources to render the ... -
Secure and privacy-preserving 3D vehicle positioning schemes for vehicular ad hoc network
(Volume 2018, Issue 1;, 2018-11-29)Industrial wireless networks (IWNs) have applications in areas such as critical infrastructure sectors and manufacturing industries such as car manufacturing. In car manufacturing, IWNs can facilitate manufacturers to ... -
A Deep CNN Ensemble Framework for Efficient DDoS Attack Detection in Software Defined Networks
(Volume 8;, 2020)As novel technologies continue to reshape the digital era, cyberattacks are also increasingly becoming more commonplace and sophisticated. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are, perhaps, the most prevalent and ... -
White-box implementation of the identity-based signature scheme in the IEEE P1363 standard for public key cryptography
(Volume 103, Issue 2;, 2020-02-01)Unlike black-box cryptography, an adversary in a white-box security model has full access to the implementation of the crypto-graphic algorithm. Thus, white-box implementation of cryptographic algorithms is more practical. ... -
On Clustering to Minimize the Sum of Radii
(2012)Given an n-point metric (P,d) and an integer k > 0, we consider the problem of covering P by k balls so as to minimize the sum of the radii of the balls. We present a randomized algorithm that runs in nO(log n·log ) time ... -
Guarding Terrains via Local Search
(Volume 5, No. 1;, 2014-05-30)We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the 1.5D terrain guarding problem, improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algorithm inspired by the recent results ... -
On Isolating Points using Disks
(2016)Given a set of points in the plane and a set of disks which separate the points, we consider the problem of selecting a minimum size subset of the disks such that any path between any pair of points is intersected by at ... -
The role of lexical associations and overgeneralizations in heritage Spanish perception
(Volume 15, Issue 2;, 2018-03-18)Heritage speakers exhibit a tendency to overgeneralize morphological paradigms in their production, but little is known about their perception, and the present study seeks to better understand how heritage speakers process ... -
Linguistic factors conditioning glottal constriction in Nicaraguan Spanish
(2015-01)This paper provides the first quantitative exploration of the linguistic factors conditioning glottal constriction in Nicaraguan Spanish, an allophone of word-final, intervocalic /s/, e.g. [ma.'al.to] for más alto 'higher'. ... -
Costa Rican Spanish Speakers’ Phonetic Discrimination
(2017-11-04)Costa Rican Spanish listeners associate intervocalic [z] with specific social attributes in a matched-guise test (Chappell, 2016) but experience difficulty when explicitly asked to produce or even comment on the ... -
Data- and Model-Based Discharge Hindcasting over a Subtropical River Basin
(2021-09-17)This study aims to evaluate the performance of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a simple Auto-Regressive with eXogenous input (ARX) model, and a gene expression programming (GEP)-based model in one-day-ahead ... -
Influence of Cs Promoter on Ethanol Steam-Reforming Selectivity of Pt/m-ZrO2 Catalysts at Low Temperature
(2021-09-14)The decarboxylation pathway in ethanol steam reforming ultimately favors higher selectivity to hydrogen over the decarbonylation mechanism. The addition of an optimized amount of Cs to Pt/m-ZrO<sub>2</sub> catalysts increases ... -
An Assessment of Prisoner Reentry, Legal Financial Obligations and Family Financial Support: A Focus on Fathers
(2021-09-13)Scholars have found that family support is an important facilitator of successful reentry from prison to the community. At the same time, they have argued that owing court-ordered fines or fees, also called legal financial ... -
Nanocurcumin-Loaded UCNPs for Cancer Theranostics: Physicochemical Properties, In Vitro Toxicity, and In Vivo Imaging Studies
(2021-08-29)Formulation of promising anticancer herbal drug curcumin as a nanoscale-sized curcumin (nanocurcumin) improved its delivery to cells and organisms both in vitro and in vivo. We report on coupling nanocurcumin with upconversion ...
