Device-to-device (D2D) communications are now considered an integral part of future 5G networks, which will enable direct communication between user equipments and achieve higher throughputs than conventional cellular ...
Emotion recognition from scrambled facial images via many graph embedding
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Facial expression verification has been extensively exploited due to its wide application in affective computing, robotic vision, man-machine interaction and medical diagnosis. With the recent development of Internet-of-Things ...
The effect of chitosan's addition to resorcinol/formaldehyde xerogels on the characteristics of resultant activated carbon
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Hybrid chitosan-resorcinol/formaldehyde xerogels were synthesized, and the effect of including minor quantities of chitosan on the consequent activated carbon was investigated. The resulting activated carbon were characterized ...
An intelligent system for the climate control and energy savings in agricultural greenhouses
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
A greenhouse for crop production is a complex thermodynamic system where the indoor temperature and the humidity conditions have a great impact on the crop yields. This system can be considered a multivariable input output ...
