Human-induced global warming has significantly increased the importance ofsatellite monitoring of land surface temperature (LST) on a global scale. The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides a 1-km resolution LST productwith almost daily coverage of the Earth, invaluable to both local and global change studies.The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiomete...

The WAN database application of SOAP protocol using XML is considered. Two methods of hierarchical system: two tiers and three tiers models are presented and the communication between client and server depends on XML standard and SOAP protocol are explained.

A secure reliable multicast protocol enables a process to send a message to a group of recipients such that all correct destinations receive the same message, despite the malicious efforts of fewer than a third of the total number of processes, including the sender. This has been shown to be a useful tool in building secure distributed services, albeit with a cost that typically grows linearly ...

Due to the curse of dimensionality, solving high dimensional parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) has been a challenging problem for decades. Recently, weak adversarial network (WAN) proposed in Zang et al. (2020) [17] offered flexible and computationally efficient approach tackle this defined on arbitrary domains by leveraging solution. WAN reformulates PDE as generative network, wh...

Recent increases in the rates of biological invasion and spread of infectious diseases have been linked to the continued expansion of the worldwide airline transportation network (WAN). Here, the global structure of the WAN is analysed in terms of climatic similarity to illuminate the risk of deliberate or accidental movements of climatically sensitive organisms around the world. From over 44,0...

| Real-time distribution of stored video over wide-area networks is a crucial component of many emerging distributed multimedia applications. The heterogeneity in the underlying network environments is an important factor that must be taken into consideration when designing an end-to-end video delivery system. In this paper, we present a novel approach to the problem of end-to-end video deliver...
