Discrimination of Maize Genotypes through Multi-temporal Object-based Remote-sensing Classification of Unmanned Aircraft System Images
(2020-04-22)
Remote-sensing classification in agriculture provides advanced techniques for expanding the capacity of high-throughput phenotyping in plant breeding and optimizing field management in precision agriculture. Methods applied ...
Trees, Point Counting Beyond Fields, and Root Separation
(2020-04-21)
Counting the solutions to systems of polynomial equations over finite fields is a central problem in number theory, as well as computer algebra. In this work, we discuss its applications to the problems of computing the ...
THERMODYNAMIC APPROACH TO COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF CHEMICALLY STABILIZED SOILS
(2020-04-15)
Civil engineers have extensively used chemical stabilizers to change the physical, chemical and engineering properties of clayey soils for infrastructure development. Various types of chemical stabilizers have been developed ...
Fundamental Mechanism of Turbulent Wedge Spreading
(2020-02-05)
Laminar to turbulent transition is an important unsolved problem. In addition to being of fundamental interest as a fluid mechanics problem, it has practical applications dealing with aircraft drag reduction and similar ...
Comparison of ²³³U Production by Thorium Irradiation in Heavy Water Reactor and Accelerator-Driven Subcritical Pile
(2020-03-23)
The purpose of this research was to compare the viability of producing uranium-233 (²³³U) using two oft-overlooked methods of fertile isotope transmutation: a heavy water moderated reactor and an accelerator-driven system. ...
Comparison of Finished Case Quality Between Invisalign vs. Traditional Fixed Appliances – A Randomized Control Trial
(2020-03-26)
The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes between Invisalign and traditional fixed appliances using the Discrepancy Index and the ABO Objective Grading System, both at debond and 6 month retention.
This ...
"We Hunt to Escape a Problem, Not to Destroy": Cultural Meanings, Shared Knowledge, and Conservation Implications of Campesino Hunting in Nicaragua
(2020-04-24)
Hunting is a vital source of income, protein, cultural traditions, knowledge, and identity for many local communities. Conservationists and policy makers must balance the competing needs of wildlife and vulnerable hunting ...
The Dynamics of Drilling Fluid Rheology, Wllbore Flow, and Formation Pressure in Well Control
(2020-04-13)
Drillers dedicate many hours to well control training, where they learn how to identify a kick by looking at drilling parameters and comparing them to the planned values. In HPHT wells, UBD and other advanced drilling ...
Landscape Controls on and Physiological Benefits of Deep Rooting by Trees in Quintana Roo, Mexico
(2020-04-14)
Deep rooting is an advantageous plant strategy because it expands a tree’s available water sources to reliable deep pools and is predicted to be more common in ecosystems with seasonal precipitation regimes, allowing trees ...
Human-in-the-loop Methods for Data-driven and Reinforcement Learning Systems
(2020-03-17)
Recent successes combine reinforcement learning algorithms and deep neural networks, despite reinforcement learning not being widely applied to robotics and real world scenarios. This can be attributed to the fact that ...
