Operating System-level virtualization, also known as a container, is an increasingly popular approach to isolating applications that use the same underlying OS kernel [2, 5–7]. Containers have recently gained popularity as the default back-end for Docker, an application packaging and distribution system used by companies including Google [3]. The purported reason to use containers over a hardwa...

Accurate short-term load forecasting is the key to ensuring smooth and efficient power system operation market dispatch planning. However, nonlinear, non-stationary, time series nature of sequences makes difficult. To address these problems, this paper proposes a method (EPT-VMD-TCN-TPA) based on hybrid decomposition sequences, which combines ensemble patch transform (EPT), variational modal (V...

Este estudo apresenta o movimento e a oferta da política de Educação Jovens Adultos (EJA) integrada à Profissional Tecnológica (EPT) na Rede Federal Tecnológica, no contexto brasileiro, desde sua instituição até os dias atuais. Foram analisados três movimentos distintos: ascensão, estagnação silenciamento, produzindo-se dados por análise documental, e, como sistematização, elaborou-se esse text...

Transition from juvenile to adult vegetative phase in maize is associated with pest and disease resistance. However, reports are not consistent on the significance and relative importance of additive or dominance genetic effects and variances. The purpose of the present research was to elucidate the genetic effects and variances and to identify molecular markers associated with phase transition...

PURPOSE This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) and coaxial microincision cataract surgery (C-MICS). METHODS Three databases were searched for papers that compared B-MICS and C-MICS from inception to June 2016. The following intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were included in the final...

BACKGROUND The home pregnancy market is rapidly evolving. It has moved from detection of pregnancy on the day of missed menstrual bleeding, to detection claims 4 days prior. It is moving from all manual tests to digital tests, with a monitor reading the bands and informing women they are pregnant. A thorough study is needed to investigate the validity of claims and evolving usefulness of device...

Many hard graph problems, such as Hamiltonian Cycle, become FPT when parameterized by treewidth, a parameter that is bounded only on sparse graphs. When parameterized by the more general parameter cliquewidth, Hamiltonian Cycle becomes W[1]-hard, as shown by Fomin et al. [5]. Sæther and Telle address this problem in their paper [13] by introducing a new parameter, split-matching-width, which li...

An unusual alliance called the ARCHway Project is developing an Edition Production Technology (EPT), a technological infrastructure for collaborative research, teaching, and learning between computer scientists and specialists in Old English. Our goal is to identify and solve problems of mutual importance in building image-based electronic editions of significant cultural materials. The EPT wil...

The insect orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) are particularly important for freshwater ecological and biomonitoring studies, but difficulties in their identification to species level impede research. DNA barcoding provides a solution to this problem by linking newly collected specimens to a reference library of authoritatively identified specimens. Here, we consider the wa...

Restored stream reaches at 79 sites across North Carolina were sampled for aquatic macroinvertebrates using a rapid bioassessment protocol. Morphological design parameters and geographic factors, including watershed and landscape parameters (e.g., valley slope, substrate), were also compiled for these streams. Principal component regression analyses revealed correlations between design and land...
