With the growth of cities, urban traffic has increased and traffic congestion has become a serious problem. Due to their characteristics, metro systems are one of the most used public transportation networks in big cities. So, optimization and planni...

Smart homes, as one of the most prosperous industries of the Internet of Things, have tremendous potential in helping the elderly aging in place and dealing with the global aging society challenges. This study takes the needs of future elderly in Chi...

Plants are often exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions, for instance abiotic stresses, which dramatically alter distribution of plant species among ecological niches and limit the yields of crop species. Among these, drought stress is one o...

A multi-image encryption with super-large-capacity is proposed by using spherical diffraction and filtering diffusion. In the proposed method, initial images are processed sequentially by filtering diffusion and chaos scrambling. The images are combi...

Although there are many methods in the literature to eliminate noise from images, finding new methods remains a challenge in the field and, despite the complexity of existing methods, many of the methods do not reach a sufficient level of applicabili...

This paper studies the trajectory tracking control problem of an Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) with yaw rate error constraint, input effective parameters, model uncertainties and external wind disturbance. Firstly, based on the four-degree of freedom (DO...

In this paper, we propose a generalisation of the Method of Successive Averages (MSA) for solving traffic assignment problems. The generalisation consists in proposing a different step sequence within the general MSA framework to reduce computing tim...

Microscopic characteristics greatly affect mechanical and physical properties as they exert vital impact on the stability and durability of materials. In this paper, widely distributed sandstone was chosen as the research object. Sandstone was treate...

Excessive gingival display is a common clinical presentation that often requires surgical intervention. This report is for a patient for whom esthetic crown lengthening is indicated due to altered passive eruption. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT...

Prediction models of coronavirus disease utilizing machine learning algorithms range from forecasting future suspect cases, predicting mortality rates, to building a pattern for country-specific pandemic end date. To predict the future suspect infect...
