Anishinabeg are not strangers to photography. Like many Indigenous communities in North America and elsewhere, Anishinabeg have a history of being pictured by governments, artists, and researchers working within the confines ...

Machine learning is a methodology that enables computers to predict outcomes based on specific input data. It is a broad field that is used to help identify trends in data and allow everything from personalized recommendations ...

Biological data sets are increasingly becoming information-dense, making it effective to use a computer science-based analysis. We used convolution neural networks (CNN) and the specific CNN architecture Unet to study ...

Stochastic parameterizations account for uncertainty in the representation of unresolved subgrid processes by sampling from the distribution of possible subgrid forcings. Some existing stochastic parameterizations utilize ...

With the wide popularity of smart devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, and smart cameras, Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) and Crowdsourcing (CS) have been broadly applied for collecting data from a large group of ordinary ...

The rapid development of Machine-Type-Communication (MTC) has brought big challenges to cellular networks such as super-dense devices and high-shadowing channels which may substantially decrease the spectrum efficiency and ...

There is concern that growing forest plantations in close rotation may adversely impact the rate of litter decomposition and thus soil productivity. The impact of conifer monocultures of Sitka spruce- Picea sitchensis ...

A high-order macroscopic model for the accurate description of rarefied polyatomic gas flows is introduced based on a simplified kinetic equation. The different energy exchange processes are accounted for with a two term ...
