The performance of face recognition algorithms is recently of increased interest, although to date empirical analyses of algorithms have been limited to rank...
Some organometallic compounds of iron are two orders of magnitude more effective at volume fraction than CF 3Br in premixed flames, an order of magnitude more...
Polyurethanes (PU) are used extensively as exterior building materials. However, PU undergoes degration during outdoor exposure. The quantum efficiency of...
There has been a long history of research in text summarization by both the text retrieval and the natural language processing communities, but evaluation of...
Secure application systems are often built using the Software Architecture of the system as a blue print. The Software Architecture of any application system...
The investigation into reducing overall vehicle weight by replacing conventional steel sheet metal with lightweight materials has been initiated. However...
The complimentary techniques of electron-beam moire and infrared microscopy were used to determine the mechanical and thermal degradation of interfaces...
