Ranking systems, such as those in product review sites, and various recommender systems usually employ user ratings to rank favorite items based on their quality and/or popularity. Since higher ranked items are more likely to be selected by customers and t ...
Failures of any type are common in current datacenters. As data scales up, its availability becomes more complex, while different availability levels per application or per data item may be required. In this paper, we propose a self- managed key-value stor ...
Wooden racket paddles were modified with rubber and carbon fibre laminates and their differences tested in terms of flexural, damping, and coefficient of restitution properties. Four rackets types were designed: a wood reference, wood with rubber, carbon f ...
Recent years have seen advances in building large internet-scale index structures, generally known as structured overlays. Early structured overlays realized distributed hash tables (DHTs) which are ill suited for anything but exact queries. The need to su ...
Map matching algorithms try to map a series of location observations to an underlying network, to generate a single hypothesized true location or route. For some applications, including route choice modeling, such map matching is not required, and may intr ...
Balance impairment is one of the major contributors to fall, frequently amenable to surgical intervention. Repeated falls can lead to bad injuries which can decrease or even stop the professional and social activities. The study of the static equilibrium i ...
With the ever growing importance of internet, people are becoming overwhelmed by information. More concretely, consider a situation where you find yourself with an evening alone and would like to rent a DVD to watch. For several reasons, this is a difficul ...
Uncertainties in design variables and problem parameters are often inevitable and must be considered in an optimization task if reliable optimal solutions are sought. Besides a number of sampling techniques, there exist several mathematical approximations ...
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) uses proximally inverted blood water spins as an endogenous contrast agent to measure blood perfusion in tissue. In this work pulsed ASL was used to measure the kinetic curves of cerebral blood flow (CBF) across eight anatomica ...
Interpreting the functional diversity of vegetation is important in unravelling the relationship between environmental change, community composition and ecosystem processes. Functional diversity is the range and distribution of functional trait values i ...
