Wildfires in western US forests increased over the last two decades, resulting in elevated solid and nutrient loadings to streams, and occasionally threatening drinking water supplies. We demonstrated that a linked LANDIS (LANDscape DIsturbance ...

• Successfully linked LANDIS-II within VELMA modeling framework.
• Established pH, ammonia, and total nitrogen estimates using modeled output.
• Exposes historical vulnerabilities of drinking water and aquatic ecosystem health.

• Feed-forward neural network models for 19 rice pests was developed.
• Minimum data size required for the highest model performance was determined.
• A Decision-tree rule to estimate the minimum data size was developed.
• The final ...

Sudden outbreaks of crop pests (insect pests and diseases) are increasing in Korea due to climate change and globalization. To prevent such outbreaks, it is necessary to predict and control pest occurrences in advance. Crop pests have been ...

This paper examines recent developments in the use of Resource Description and Access Work, BIBFRAME Hub, and Share-VDE Opus (referred to collectively as Opera) in bibliographic description. These Opera will be discussed to capture the current ...

Basically, wireless microwave power transfer system has very low power delivery efficiency and this efficiency gets extremely lower as the longer range and higher center frequency. Also, there is no room for the power control of the transmitter in ...

A re-configurable directional antenna with optimisation carries a proficient solution for decreasing the collision in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Enhancement has various scenarios: an increased antenna gain which comes under certain circumstances ...

Many research funders mandate researchers to create and maintain data management plans (DMPs) for research projects that describe how research data is managed to ensure its reusability. A DMP, being a static textual document, is difficult to act upon and ...

This paper proposes Capstan: a scalable, parallel-patterns-based, reconfigurable dataflow accelerator (RDA) for sparse and dense tensor applications. Instead of designing for one application, we start with common sparse data formats, each of which ...

The need for speed in modern data-intensive workloads and the rise of "dark silicon" in the semiconductor industry are pushing for larger, faster, and more energy and area-efficient architectures, such as Reconfigurable Dataflow Accelerators (RDAs). ...

Data analytics pipelines increasingly rely on databases to select, filter, and pre-process reams of data. These databases use data structures with irregular control flow like trees and hash tables which map poorly to existing database accelerators, ...

Everyday hundreds of millions of metadata records provide users access to information. To remain functional, metadata schemas changes in response to shifts in information user needs and standards of information representation. This poster presents ...

Managing metadata quality and metadata change contributes to more effective knowledge management in various organizations. This study sought to test and refine the metadata change framework initially developed for characterizing the change in digit al ...

With the academic exchanges evolving, the internet is flooded with a great quantity of conference information, proceedings and conference literatures. Due to the distribution and the quality uneven of these Open Conference and Resources (OCR), it's hard ...

This paper investigates the Range-Doppler Algorithm based on the Fractional Fourier Transform (RDA-FrFT) to obtain High-Resolution (HR) images for targets in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging. A mathematical framework for the RDA-FrFT is developed ...

Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a new standard for describing all types of resources. Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign evaluated the guidelines by means of the Dublin Core ...

For much of the past decade, attempts to corral the explosion of new metadata schemas (or formats) have been notably unsuccessful. Concerns about interoperability in this diverse and rapidly changing environment continue, with strategies based on ...

The IFLA Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) conceptual model, published in 1998, focuses on the representation of the bibliographic universe, using an entity-relationship model [1]. It has direct and great impact to the whole area ...

This article announces the availability of a crosswalk between ONIX 2.1 and MARC 21 developed by OCLC and illustrates how it is used in the OCLC Metadata for Services Publishers project. To accomplish the goal of merging library and publisher metadata ...

It is an essential design process to analyze processing load and set out high level software (SW) and hardware (HW) mapping of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processor before implementation. The contribution of this paper is to suggest the practical SW ...
