Talking to insurance brokers can be like coming to this planet from a different place and time. Their language is strange and unintelligible. Why is this so? First, most insurance companies don ' t unde r s t and landscape contractors and aren't interested in learning about the green industry. The insurance industry, for the most part, views a landscape contractor as something smaller than a sm...

introduction more than 90% of drinking water in cities around the world and about 40% of the agricultural water supply from groundwater resources.,thus, groundwater quality consideration issue is inevitable . one of the most important parameter which can show the quality of drinking water is nitrate concentration. nitrate enters the groundwater and surface water through the decomposition of hum...

We propose a novel method called deep convolutional decision jungle (CDJ) and its learning algorithm for image classification. The CDJ maintains the structure of standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs), i.e. multiple layers of multiple responsemaps fully connected. Each responsemap—or node—in both the convolutional and fully-connected layers selectively respond to class labels s.t. each d...

While deterministic optimization enjoys an almost universally accepted canonical form, stochastic optimization is a jungle of competing notational systems and algorithmic strategies. This is especially problematic in the context of sequential (multistage) stochastic optimization problems, which is the focus of our presentation. In this article, we place a variety of competing strategies into a ...

Welcome to Software Engineering Risk Management (SERIM). As a professional associated with the development of software, you are well aware that the software development process can truly be a jungle, filled with hazards that lie in wait to sabotage your projects. These hazards (risks) are numerous and often complex. The purpose of this application is to help you find a safer path through this j...
