Pipe failure rate prediction in water distribution networks using multivariate adaptive regression splines and random forest techniques
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019)
This paper presents the results of a comparison between multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and random forest (RF) techniques in pipe failure prediction in two water distribution networks. In this regard, pipe ...
Analytical Models for the Scalability of Dynamic Group-key Agreement Protocols and Secure File Sharing Systems
(ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY, 2019)
Dynamic group key agreement protocols are cryptographic primitives to provide secure group communications in decentralized and dynamic networks. Such protocols provide additional operations to update the group key while ...
Bifurcation analysis of bistable and oscillatory dynamics in biological networks using the root-locus method
(INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET, 2019)
Most of the biological systems including gene regulatory networks can be described well by ordinary differential equation models with rational non-linearities. These models are derived either based on the reaction kinetics ...
The five-factor model of the moral foundations theory is stable across WEIRD and non-WEIRD cultures
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019)
Although numerous models attempted to explain the nature of moral judgment, moral foundations theory (MFT) led to a paradigmatic change in this field by proposing pluralist moralities (care, fairness, loyalty, authority, ...
Variations of Double Coverage Ambulance Location Model Using Call Volume and Population Data
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019)
In Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ability to respond to emergency situations rapidly is very crucial. One of the main decisions that need to be made by the EMS provider is to locate available ambulances in an efficient ...
On Kummer Lines with Full Rational 2-torsion and Their Usage in Cryptography
(ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY, 2019)
A paper by Karati and Sarkar at Asiacrypt'17 has pointed out the potential for Kummer lines in genus 1, by observing that their SIMD-friendly arithmetic is competitive with the status quo. A more recent preprint explores ...
A comprehensive evaluation of PV electricity production methods and life cycle energy-cost assessment of a particular system
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019)
This paper presents the study about electricity generation from solar photovoltaic technology based on four different methodologies with some performance indicators, namely performance ratio, system efficiency, fill and ...
Transferring Synthetic Elementary Learning Tasks to Classification of Complex Targets
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2019)
Deep learning has a promising impact on target classification performance at the expense of huge training data requirements. Therefore, the use of simulated data is inevitable for convergence of deep models (DMs). However, ...
A sustainable and preventative risk management model for ship recycling industry
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019)
When the dynamic environment of ship recycling is considered, many different severe risks may occur. These risks affect different dimensions including people, environment and economic. The aim of the study is give a framework ...
The short- and long-run efficiency of energy, precious metals, and base metals markets: Evidence from the exponential smooth transition autoregressive models
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
The aim of this paper is to investigate the long and short-run relationship between spot and futures prices of the energy, precious metals, and base metals markets. We analyze daily data from January 1985 to February 2019. ...
