Using this, one can measure the relative quality of a new ranking algorithm, the result of incorporating specific types of metadata or folk...

this study was conducted to investigate the type and origin of clay minerals via several profiles in lordegan hilly lands. the profiles were located in two kinds of land uses including forest and dry farm at different slope positions as sampling sites. the soil saples were collected from two depths of soil horizons to indicate cec, soil texture, oc%, calcium carbonate equivalent, x-ray diffract...

In this paper, a low-cost, low-power and high performance micro control unit (MCU) core is proposed for wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs). It consists of an asynchronous interface, a register bank, a reconfigurable filter, a slop-feature forecast, a lossless data encoder, an error correct coding (ECC) encoder, a UART interface, a power management (PWM), and a multi-sensor controller. To imp...
