In this paper, we propose a novel two-phased cache replacement algorithm based on the dataset obtained from a typical wireless mesh network. In the first phase, we aim to make a trade-off between the networks resources and ...

Creation of more durable concrete is one pathway to achieving improved sustainability and carbon footprint over a concrete structure's life. Microbially induced calcite precipitation has been shown to densify concrete ...

An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model − implemented as a computer program − that is aimed at emulating the key features and operations of biological neural networks. ANNs are extensively used to model ...

Methods are presented for calibrating the hadron calorimeter system of theCMSetector at the LHC. The hadron calorimeters of the CMS experiment are sampling calorimeters of brass and scintillator, and are in the form of one ...

In the present study we prove rigorously that in the long-wave limit, the unidirectional solutions of a class of nonlocal wave equations to which the improved Boussinesq equation belongs are well approximated by the solutions ...

This article reports a mixed-method study that examined the washback effect from a locally-produced, theme-based, high-stakes English language proficiency test in tertiary education in a Turkish EAP context. The aim was ...

Purpose: In a world where corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a meaningful trend valued by firm stakeholders, it is still not clear how the marketing department integrates corporate-level social responsibility strategy ...

There is renewed interest in multi-informant and person-centered approaches to comprehending the nature of students’ behavior problems. However, most previous studies utilized single-informant or variable-based approaches. ...
