Adaptive and unequal probability survey designs for environmental management
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations ...
Multi-species attributes as the condition for adaptive sampling of rare species using two-stage sequential sampling with an auxiliary variable
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Assessing populations of rare species is challenging because of the large effort required to locate patches of occupied habitat and achieve precise estimates of density and abundance. The presence of a rare species has ...
Antecedents and Academic Performance Outcome of Blackboard Usage: Student Insight
(
iated Digital Library
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Information systems have been widely adopted, used and increasingly used in educational institutions during the last two decades. However, learning management system (LMS) has emerged and become an important education tool ...
Gravitational weighted fuzzy c-means with application on multispectral image segmentation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel clustering approach based on the classic Fuzzy c-means algorithm. The approach is inspired from the concept of interaction between objects in physics. Each data point is regarded as a particle. ...
A FCM and SURF based algorithm for segmentation of multispectral face images
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) for multispectral image segmentation. In the experiments, color images and multispectral images from ...
Taxonomy of communications in the operating room
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
US hospitals are facing critical problems of nurse shortage. One report predicts that there will be a shortage of 260,000 registered nurses by 2025 in the USA, and it was found out that patient mortality risk is 6% higher ...
Cluster validity index based on n-sphere
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a new cluster validity index (CVI) based on geometrical shape. Classic CVIs are based on a combination of separation and compactness measures and may include a measure of overlap between clusters. ...
Vector anisotropic filter for multispectral image denoising
(
SPIE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose an approach to extend the application of anisotropic Gaussian filtering for multi- spectral image denoising. We study the case of images corrupted with additive Gaussian noise and use sparse matrix ...
Computational Simulation Of Organic Rankine Cycle Retrofitted To Petroleum Well
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal refers to existing heat energy in deep rock and sedimentary basins. Unlike other types of renewable energy resources, geothermal energy provides a stable source of energy as it can be exploited regardless of ...
A Hardware Based Ricean Fading Radio Channel Simulator
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The rise of the need of fading radio channel simulators is due to time and cost of field tests of wireless communications systems. Growth in the demand for fixed wireless access increases the need for wide area system ...
