Abstract Today, urban traffic, growing populations, and dense transportation networks are contributing to an increase in traffic incidents. These incidents include traffic accidents, vehicle breakdowns, fires, and traffic disputes, resulting in long waiting times, high carbon emissions, and other undesirable situations. It is vital to estimate incident response times quickly and accurately after traffic incidents occur for the success of incident-related planning and response activities. This study presents a model for forecasting the traffic incident duration of traffic events with high precision. The proposed model goes through a 4-stage process using various features to predict the… More >

Abstract Ensuring food security for the rapidly increasing population and changing climatic scenarios are requisites for exploiting the genetic divergence of food crops. A study was undertaken to sort out an early maturing chickpea variety for fitting easily between rice-rice cropping systems in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain of Bangladesh. The trial was comprised of eight elite lines of chickpea and executed at various localities in Bangladesh from 2014– 15 to 2017–18. The result explored the chickpea genotype, BARI Chola-11 remained superior to the rest of the elite genotypes for having a short maturity period (100–106 days), More >

Abstract Preterm and low birth weight infants are at higher risk of neurodevelopmental outcomes; breastfeeding offers several beneficial aspects for them. This study aimed to describe the average neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants and examine the associations between neurodevelopment and breastfeeding among Hungarian preterm infants at 12 months of corrected age. 154 preterm infants with low birth weight (<2500 g) and their mothers were participated in this study. Bayley-III Screening Test (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Screening Test, Third Edition) was administered to measure the cognitive, language and motor skills of infants; breastfeeding data was… More >

Abstract High performance martensitic heat resistant steels are widely used in fossil fuel power plant industry due to because of their good creep resistance at high temperatures. In-depth understanding of the high temperature inelastic deformation mechanism of such steels is crucial to ensure the reliable, safe and efficient operation of the power plant [1]. The martensitic steels have a complex microstructure with a hierarchical arrangement, including a collection of packets in the prior austenite grain, blocks in the packet and laths along with dispersed nanoscale strengthening phases (e.g., MX precipitates and carbides). The purpose of this… More >

Abstract Project scheduling is a key objective of many models and is the proposed method for project planning and management. Project scheduling problems depend on precedence relationships and resource constraints, in addition to some other limitations for achieving a subset of goals. Project scheduling problems are dependent on many limitations, including limitations of precedence relationships, resource constraints, and some other limitations for achieving a subset of goals. Deterministic project scheduling models consider all information about the scheduling problem such as activity durations and precedence relationships information resources available and required, which are known and stable during… More >

Abstract Speech signal analysis for the extraction of speech elements is viable in natural language applications. Rhythm, intonation, stress, and tone are the elements of prosody. These features are essential in emotional speech, speech to speech, speech recognition, and other applications. The current study attempts to extract the pitch and duration from historical Sindhi sound clips using the functional contours model’s superposition. The sampled sound clips contained the speech of 273 undergraduates living in 5 districts of the Sindhi province. Several Python libraries are available for the application of this model. We used these libraries for… More >

Abstract Load forecasting has received crucial research attention to reduce peak load and contribute to the stability of power grid using machine learning or deep learning models. Especially, we need the adequate model to forecast the maximum load duration based on time-of-use, which is the electricity usage fare policy in order to achieve the goals such as peak load reduction in a power grid. However, the existing single machine learning or deep learning forecasting cannot easily avoid overfitting. Moreover, a majority of the ensemble or hybrid models do not achieve optimal results for forecasting the maximum… More >

Abstract Opportunistic networks are self-organizing networks that do not require a complete path between the source node and the destination node as it uses encounter opportunities brought by nodes movement to achieve network communication. Opportunistic networks routing algorithms are numerous and can be roughly divided into four categories based on different forwarding strategies. The Prophet routing algorithm is an important routing algorithm in opportunistic networks. It forwards messages based on the encounter probability between nodes, and has good innovation significance and optimization potential. However, the Prophet routing algorithm does not consider the impact of the historical… More >

Abstract Background: Predicting the probability for sudden cardiac death (SCD) and thus evaluation of patients for electrical device therapy and/or ablation is one of the main tasks in clinics for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) following repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) patients. Previous data suggests that QRS complex analysis can help identifying those patients who subsequently suffer from SCD. We hypothesized that a long QRS duration is associated with adverse rhythm events if caused by conduction abnormalities but not if caused by right ventricular remodeling. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed entailing all rTOF patients who… More >

Abstract In Opportunistic networks (ONs), buffer management is critical to improve the message exchanging efficiency due to the limited storage space and transmission bandwidth at the wireless edge. Current solutions make message scheduling and drop policy based on assumptions that messages can always been forwarded in a single contact, and all node pairs have the same contact rates. However, such ideal assumptions are invalid for realistic mobility traces of hand-held. Recent studies show that the single contact duration is limited and the mobility of nodes is heterogeneous in reality. In this paper, a buffer management strategy… More >
