In smart buildings, many different systems work in coordination to accomplish their tasks. In this process, the sensors associated with these systems collect large amounts of data generated in a streaming fashion, which is prone to concept drift. Suc...
Amid rapid urbanization, Chinese cities face mounting ecological pressure, making it critical to balance environmental protection with public well-being. As visual perception accounts for over 80% of environmental information acquisition, it plays a...
Although SAR systems can provide high-resolution aerial view images all-day, all-weather, the aspect and pose-sensitivity of the SAR target signatures, which defies the Gestalt perceptual principles, sets a frustrating performance upper bound for SAR...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who have undergone a Billroth II gastrectomy is a major challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the road-map technique for duodenal intubation using a side-viewing duod...
The effect of the angular rolling process on the plan view pattern of a plate was studied, and the rectangular influencing factors and improvement methods for this process were proposed in this paper. DEFORM (v11.0) finite element software was used t...
Inner-city redevelopment is regarded as an effective way to promote land-use efficiency and optimize land-use structure, especially with the establishment of urban growth boundaries in Chinese cities. However, inner-city redevelopment as compared to...
Savannah grazing lawns are a key food resource for large herbivores such as blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) and white rhino (Ceratotherium simum), and impact herbivore densities, movement and recruitment...
