This paper studies how to parallelize the emerging media mining workloads on existing small-scale multi-core processors and future large-scale platforms. Media mining is an emerging technology to extract meaningful knowledge from large amounts of multimedia data, aiming at helping end users search, browse, and manage multimedia data. Many of the media mining applications are very complicated an...

Data mining has been informally introduced as large scale search for interesting patterns in data. It is often an explorative task iteratively performed within the process of knowledge discovery in databases. In this process, interactive visualization techniques are also successfully applied for data exploration. We deal in this paper with the synergy of these two complemental approaches. Where...

Small-Scale Gold Mining (SSGM) is a way of life for many individuals living in mineral-rich but poverty-stricken areas Africa. The sector provides households with much needed income their livelihood sustenance. Although the literature on SSGM have brought some consensus environmental issues surrounding sector, limited attention has been directed at health and safety associated small-scale gold ...

Gold mining is a significant strategic sector for local, regional, and national economies. The rapid development of coexisting camp-type artisanal small-scale gold (C-ASGM) large-scale (LSM) accelerates the environmental health risks associated with mercury pollution; however, transformations sites have not been well quantified. This study used remote sensing (the PlanetScope smallsat constella...
