You may have heard that our oceans are under threat due to the impacts of climate change, plastic pollution, and ocean acidification. But there is another must be highlighted—noise pollution. Humans becoming more reliant on for transportation renewable energy, but these activities introduce noise. Every fishing vessel, cruise ship, ferry, cargo jet ski leaves a sound “footprint,” meaning increa...

Abstract The voltage problem caused by a large number of distributed generation in distribution network is becoming more and obvious. Energy storage system has flexible four quadrant power regulation ability, which an effective means management network. In the energy location selection active network, weight coefficient method considering load growth direction proposed to solve that TOPSIS (the...

As an introduction, I want to contrast two general traditions in semantics, one realistic and one cognitive. According to the realistic approach to semantics the meaning of an expression is something out there in the world. In technical terms, a semantics for a language is defined as a mapping from the syntactic structures to things in the world. In philosophical ontological terms, this is thus...

A method for calculating the parameter of Knothe time function was presented. The principle of predicting dynamic mining subsidence was discussed based to the relationship between the periodic fractures of main roof and surface subsidence. Pointed out there might be a section whose width was shorter than a mining unit when divided a workface into n equal mining elements, the section should be c...

Let us celebrate the 37th edition of this long-standing IEEE Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC), officially designated as the IEEE signature conference on computers, software and applications since 2006. We have also made plans to hold the 2014 (38th) COMPSAC in Sweden and 2015 (39th) COMPSAC in Taiwan thanks to many willing and capable volunteers and o...

There are many measures of uncertainty out there. Sometimes they appear to conflict. For example, classical or frequency probability supports significance testing. Bayesian probability, in the same situation, would call for conditioning on the evidence. Evidential probability resolves many of these conflicts in an intuitively plausible way, and in a way that admits of real world semantic justif...

Our brains have to make hypotheses about what we think is out there in the real world. We hope that these hypotheses are right, because a mistake could be fatal.

There are lots of condom brands, sizes, and pleasure-inducing gimmicks out there ? but it's not always easy to find which one will work best for you. When beginning to explore sexual intimacy, roadblocks like yours may arise, but the fact that you're dedicated to practicing safe sex despite this challenge is commendable. Just remember, even though it may take time and some trial and error to fi...

Highly accurate data on the spatial distribution of ambient fine particulate matter (<2.5 μm: PM2.5) is currently quite limited in China. By introducing NO₂ and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) into the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model, a newly developed GWR model combined with a fused Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) product and meteorological parameters could explain approximately 87%...
