Traditional supervised machine learning classifiers are challenged to learn highly skewed data distributions as they designed expect classes equally contribute the minimization of cost function. Moreover, design expects equal misclassification costs, causing a bias for overrepresented classes. Different strategies have been proposed correct this issue. The modification set has become common pra...

Imagining the future has become an increasingly arduous exercise especially if we consider constant anthropic modifications and their consequences to which environment is subjected. In face of climate change, reduction in land consumption energy efficiency buildings are some missions be pursued achieve adequate level sustainability, search for inclusive, safe, durable urban settlements. Trying ...

The peritoneum represents a confined microenvironment that has an emerging role as distinct immunological compartment. In health, this niche is mainly populated by heterogenous group of macrophages and T lymphocytes but also Natural Killer cells B lymphocytes. Together they are crucial for surveillance, clearance infection resolution inflammation. Development ascites defining feature decompensa...

Data-driven methods have achieved notable performance on intent detection, which is a task to comprehend user queries. Nonetheless, they are controversial for over-confident predictions. In some scenarios, users do not only care about the accuracy but also confidence of model. Unfortunately, mainstream neural networks poorly calibrated, with large gap between and confidence. To handle this prob...

Drivers show different characteristics in traffic oscillations. These differences reflect the driver’s driving style, which is an important part of uncertainty. This paper deeply explores asymmetric behaviour and its influence on flow characteristics. The aim to improve understanding safe driving. Continuous vehicle trajectories under various conditions expressway merging area are obtained by a...

This article outlines what we call the “narrative of psychology exceptionalism” in commentaries on replication crisis: many thoughtful link current crisis to specificity psychology’s history, methods, and subject matter, but explorations similarities between other fields are comparatively thin. Historical analyses further contribute this exceptionalism by creating a genealogy events personaliti...

Will China's rise lead to Chinese hegemony? Most International Relations scholars would answer in the negative, contending road a global hegemony remains well beyond Beijing's interests and capabilities. In Asia, however, formidable economy, technological advancement, rapidly modernizing military forces, recent geopolitical moves look outright hegemonic - fact that United States attempts "pivot...

The 2030 Agenda highlights the importance of governance to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, we observe that there is an underestimation dimension in SDG indices. reasons are twofold. Firstly, indices assign a lower weight compared other dimensions sustainability. Secondly, most indicators do not measure relational dynamics underlie sustainable development policies. aim this...

Permanent preservation areas reduce the exposure of sediments and nutrients in aquatic medium improve quality water. The analysis natural features anthropic use rivers’ surroundings makes it possible detecting potential ecological unbalance. This study analyzed emerging environmental fragility Preservation Areas (PPA). Environmental fragilities around drainage composing sub-basin were assessed ...
