The complex composition and extremely harsh, uncertain surface conditions on Mars impose stringent requirements on the coring performance and fault tolerance of a coring sampler. To satisfy the drilling and coring requirements of Martian soil–r...
Bayesian approaches to decision trees (DTs) using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers have recently demonstrated state-of-the-art accuracy performance when it comes to training DTs to solve classification problems. Despite the competitive classi...
The present study proposes a low-energy consumption multipoint sampler carried by a deep-sea landing vehicle (DSLV) to meet the requirements of time series sampling in local areas and location series sampling in wide areas, and an optimization method...
Study of subsurface deposits often requires coring or drilling to obtain samples for sedimentologic and geochemical analysis. Geochronology is a critical piece of information for stratigraphic correlation and rate calculations. Increasingly, luminesc...
Smoke plume rise is critically dependent on plume updraft structure. Smoke plumes from landscape burns (forest and agricultural burns) are typically structured into “sub-plumes” or multiple-core updrafts with the number of updraft cores depending on...
The annual bluegrass weevil (ABW), Listronotus maculicollis (Kirby), is a significant pest of short-mown turfgrass in eastern North America. Proper monitoring of this pest may reduce insecticide applications. We investigated the extraction rate and l...
Real-world datasets often follow a long-tailed distribution, where a few majority (head) classes contain a large number of samples, while many minority (tail) classes contain significantly fewer samples. This imbalance creates an information disparit...
This research studies the effect of stratifying soil samples to try and find a suitable depth to establish a geospatial relationship for a practical soil sampling grid in New Zealand hill country. Cores were collected from 200 predetermined sites in...
Tiny medicine refers to the development of small easy to use devices that can help in the early diagnosis and treatment of disease. Early diagnosis is the key to successfully treating many diseases. Nanomaterial-based biosensors utilize the unique pr...
A novel model selection and averaging approach is proposed—through integrating the corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc), the Gibbs sampler, and the Poisson regression models, to improve tropical cyclone seasonal forecasting in the Aust...
Pollen monitoring is an integral part of aerobiology. The analysis of pollen content in the air, which is its core routine work, requires reliable devices. The continuous evolution of technology prompted us to give an update on current techniques use...
The prediction of material lifetime is central to nanomaterial engineering and reliability analysis. We propose the Marshall–Olkin Power Half-Logistic (MOPHL) distribution, obtained by applying a Marshall–Olkin transform to the Power Half...
The remotely operated vehicle (ROV), a vital deep-sea platform, offers key advantages, including operational duration via continuous umbilical power, high task adaptability, and zero human risk. It has become indispensable for deep-sea scientific res...
Barley is an important crop grown on almost 49 Mha worldwide in 2021 and is particularly significant in Europe where powdery mildew is the most frequent disease on susceptible varieties. The most suitable way to protect crops is by exploiting genetic...
Marine geophysical surveys were carried out at the underwater site in the south-western sector of the Eastern Harbor of Alexandria, opposite to the Egyptian Sea Scout Club. Survey works aimed to detect and study the surface and subsurface geomorpholo...
Wood quality has been an ongoing concern for science, having become increasingly important in the current context, in which the demand for wood is increasing and forest fires are more frequent and violent. This study aims to evaluate the quality of w...
This paper provides an overview of the validation of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operational retrievals of atmospheric carbon trace gas profiles, specifically carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), fr...
Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) approaches for nuclear reactor applications have been extensively developed in recent years. The challenge for BEPU approaches is to achieve multi-physics modeling with an acceptable computational cost while pres...
Aiming at the problem of energy-efficient design of polynomial coefficient generation algorithms and reconfigurable units in lattice-based post-quantum cryptography, this paper investigates and implements an efficient coefficient generation accelerat...
Monitoring animals from their vocalisations has proven indispensable for ecological research, with applications ranging from unbiased population estimation for biodiversity assessment to kinematic and acoustic quantification for research into evoluti...
This study describes a semi-empirical model developed to estimate volumetric soil moisture (
Differentiable rasterization enables image inversion by providing gradients of image-based losses with respect to camera and scene parameters, and has become a practical foundation for inverse graphics and photometric estimation on GPUs. However, the...
