Image search reranking methods usually fail to capture the user's intention when the query term is ambiguous. Therefore, reranking with user interactions, or active reranking, is highly demanded to effectively improve the ...

This paper applies the dynamic model reduction method to obtain a reduced order model of an experimental tall building which has twenty floors and is 2.5m high. The experimental model is designed to imitate a real tall ...

Active SLAM poses the challenge for an autonomous robot to plan efficient paths simultaneous to the SLAM process. The uncertainties of the robot, map and sensor measurements, and the dynamic and motion constraints need ...

This article presents a robust H{infty} controller design approach for active vibration attenuation of structures considering parameter uncertainties and time delay in control input. The parameter uncertainties dealt with ...

The Patriotic Ladies' Association (PLA) ,I which operated in Japan between 1901 and 1942, was one of the world's largest women's associations, with about seven million members at its height. Although its main purpose ...

Activity data accumulated in real life, e.g. in terrorist activities and fraudulent customer contacts, presents special structural and semantic complexities. However, it may lead to or be associated with significant ...

There is considerable interest among basic and clinical researchers in novel drugs with activity against leukemia. The vast history of experience of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with medicinal plants may facilitate ...

The article provides an actor-network critique of ideas on community that are influential in higher education and draws implications for networked learning theory and practice. Networked learning is examined as an educational ...

On average, Australia is a dry continent with many competing uses for water. Hence, there is an urgent need to know actual evapotranspiration (ETa) patterns across wide areas of agricultural and natural ecosystems, as ...
