Sensor-based activity recognition via learning from distributions
(2018)Sensor-based activity recognition aims to predict users’ activities from multi-dimensional streams of various sensor readings received from ubiquitous sensors. To use machine learning techniques for sensor-based activity ... -
Multiobjective Thermoeconomic Optimization of the LNG Cold Utilized Micro-cogeneration System
(2018-05-25)Liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold utilization systems are feasible options for the inland and stranded regions where the conventional pipeline technology is challenging. For the best operation conditions of the systems in ... -
HogRider: Champion agent of Microsoft Malmo collaborative AI challenge
(2018-05-25)It has been an open challenge for self-interested agents to make optimal sequential decisions in complex multiagent systems, where agents might achieve higher utility via collaboration. The Microsoft Malmo Collaborative ... -
Variance Characteristics of Tropical Radiosonde Winds Using a Vector-Tensor Method
(2018)In this paper, an exploratory study on the variance characteristics of upper-air winds in a near-equator monsoon region is presented. The data were obtained from historical radiosonde observations from up to 250 stations ... -
Stability analysis of event-triggered anytime control with multiple control laws
(2018)To deal with time-varying processor availability and lossy communication channels in embedded and networked control systems, one can employ an event-triggered sequence-based anytime control (E-SAC) algorithm. The main idea ... -
Complete genome sequence of bacillus altitudinis type strain SGAir0031 isolated from tropical air collected in Singapore
(2017)Bacillus altitudinis strain SGAir0031 (Firmicutes) was isolated from tropical air samples collected in Singapore. Its genome was assembled using short reads and single-molecule real-time sequencing, comprising one chromosome ... -
Ultrathin Porous NiFeV Ternary Layer Hydroxide Nanosheets as a Highly Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Overall Water Splitting
(2017)Herein, the hydrothermal synthesis of porous ultrathin ternary NiFeV layer double hydroxides (LDHs) nanosheets grown on Nickel foam (NF) substrate as a highly efficient electrode toward overall water splitting in alkaline ... -
Learning a cross-modal hashing network for multimedia search
(2017)In this paper, we propose a cross-modal hashing network (CMHN) method to learn compact binary codes for cross-modality multimedia search. Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of ... -
Compressing Trajectory for Trajectory Indexing
(2017)Nowadays, as many devices like mobile phones and smart watch/band are equipped with GPS-devices, a large volume of trajectory data is generated every day. With the availability of such trajectory data, many mining tasks ... -
Removal of haloacetic acids from swimming pool water by reverse osmosis and nanofiltration
(2017)Recent studies report high concentrations of haloacetic acids (HAAs), a prevalent class of toxic disinfection by-products, in swimming pool water (SPW). We investigated the removal of 9 HAAs by four commercial reverse ... -
Role of calcium ions on the removal of haloacetic acids from swimming pool water by nanofiltration: mechanisms and implications
(2016)We investigated the removal of haloacetic acids (HAAs) from swimming pool waters (SPWs) by two nanofiltration membranes NF270 and NF90. The strong matrix effect (particularly by Ca2+) on membrane rejection prompts us to ... -
Simple noise-reduction method based on nonlinear forecasting
(2017)Nonparametric detrending or noise reduction methods are often employed to separate trends from noisy time series when no satisfactory models exist to fit the data. However, conventional noise reduction methods depend on ... -
Real Time, Spatial, and Temporal Mapping of the Distribution of c-di-GMP during Biofilm Development
(2017)Bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a dynamic intracellular signaling molecule that plays a central role in the biofilm life cycle. Current methodologies for the quantification of c-di-GMP are ... -
Crown Ethers Enable Room Temperature Synthesized CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots for Light-Emitting Diodes
(2018)The synthesis of all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) typically requires high temperatures, stringent conditions, large quantities of surface ligands, and judicious purification steps to overcome ... -
In Vitro Evaluation of Biofilm Dispersal as a Therapeutic Strategy To Restore Antimicrobial Efficacy
(2017)As a proof-of-concept study, the direct impact of biofilm dispersal on the in vitro efficacy of imipenem and tobramycin was evaluated against 3-day-old biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Arabinose induction of biofilm ... -
Physicochemical Transformation Of Heavy Metals In Sludge-biochar Produced By Pyrolysis Treatment
(2017)Biochars (BCs) were produced by pyrolysis of dry sewage sludge (DSS) in order to stabilize the heavy metals (HMs). The physicochemical transformations of HMs were studied during pyrolysis at different temperatures (500-700 ... -
Laboratory investigation on hydraulic anisotropy behavior of unsaturated soil
(2017)Hydraulic anisotropy behavior of unsaturated soil has not been fully investigated. Direct laboratory measurement and indirect determination of hydraulic anisotropy under a drying condition were carried out on statically ... -
Thrombin-derived host defence peptide modulates neutrophil rolling and migration in vitro and functional response in vivo
(2017)Host defence peptides (HDPs) derived from the C-terminus of thrombin are proteolytically generated by enzymes released during inflammation and wounding. In this work, we studied the effects of the prototypic peptide GKY25 ... -
Analysing Uncertain Rainfall in Flood Mitigation using MCDA
(2015)Decisions on flood mitigation measures are made more complex with uncertain features of hydrosystem parameters. A decision making framework is developed with the PROMETHEE MCDA technique and applied to a central basin of ... -
Art-directed watercolor stylization of 3D animations in real-time
