Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is an automated, statistical technique for comparing the semantic similarity of words or documents. In this paper, I examine the application of LSA to automated essay scoring. I compare LSA methods to earlier statistical methods for assessing essay quality, and critically review contemporary essay-scoring systems built on LSA, including the Intelligent Essay Asses...

Three dimension (3D) Multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) scheme, which exploits another dimension of the spatial resource, is one of the enabling technologies for the next generation mobile communication. As the elevation angle in 3D-MIMO channel model might varies against the height of the base station transmit antenna, it has to be taken into account carefully. In this paper, the impact of antenn...

Recently, in the field of ITS (Intelligent Transportation System), accurate and precise position of a vehicle in the street is more demanding. They want to know which lane a car is driving in. The GNSS RTK could provide this accuracy. But, in urban street, due to its environment, the conventional code and carrier based RTK can’t be a practical solution. The Doppler measurement from GNSS receive...

Computational methods play a significant role in reducing energy consumption cities. Many different sensor networks (e.g., traffic intensity sensors, intelligent cameras, air quality monitoring systems) generate data that can be useful for both efficient management (including planning) and usage. Street lighting is one of the most contributors to urban power consumption. This paper presents sum...

the street garment vendors are playing a significant role in the fields of the economic development through protecting resources (garment products) from such a position where they are treated as wastes; very much less valued products and creating the opportunity for self-employment. this study aimed at showing the economic contribution and the impact of the street vendors to the local community...

conclusions the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among street children in southeast iran is almost high. in this regard, street vendors and children who their parents are illiterate or have been separated are more at risk. generally, principal organizing these children and family education could decline their problems. however, these actions need intersectoral collaboration in society. backgro...

Traditional street lighting systems receive data about daylight levels and adjust lighting. However, in such conditions, energy consumption increases since the sensors of on only one indicator which is daylight. Therefore, a suitable automated intelligent system model needed. Intelligent can brightness light not based natural data, but also movement vehicles people. This paper describes develop...
