Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected more than 50 million people in more than 100 countries, resulting in a major global impact. Many studies on the potential roles of environmental factors in the transmission of the novel COVID-19 have been published. However, the impact of environmental factors on COVID-19 remains controversial. Machine learning techniques have been used effectively in combating the COVID-19 epidemic. However, researches related to machine learning on weather conditions in spreading COVID-19 is generally lacking. Therefore, in this study, three machine learning models (Convolution Neural Network (CNN), ADtree Classifier and BayesNet)… More >

Abstract In this paper, a new image compression technique is proposed in which variable block size technique is adopted, using quadtree decomposition, for coding images at low bit rates. The proposed algorithm decomposes the host image into blocks of variable sizes according to histogram analysis of the block residuals. Variable block sizes are then encoded at different rates based on their visual activity levels. To preserve edge integrity, a high-detail block is coded by a set of parameters associated with the pattern appearing inside the block. The use of these parameters at the receiver together with More >

Abstract The Node-based Local Mesh Generation (NLMG) algorithm, which is free of mesh inconsistency, is one of core algorithms in the Node-based Local Finite Element Method (NLFEM) to achieve the seamless link between mesh generation and stiffness matrix calculation, and the seamless link helps to improve the parallel efficiency of FEM. Furthermore, the key to ensure the efficiency and reliability of NLMG is to determine the candidate satellite-node set of a central node quickly and accurately. This paper develops a Fast Local Search Method based on Uniform Bucket (FLSMUB) and a Fast Local Search Method based More >
