Illegal logging poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, climate stability, and depresses international prices for legal wood harvesting responsible forest products trade, affecting livelihoods communities across the globe. Stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) is rapidly becoming an important tool determining harvest location of traded, organic, products. The spatial pattern in stable values depends on factors such as atmospheric environmental conditions can thus be used...
Driver fatigue and distraction remain significant safety issues for drivers. Despite substantial developments in driver state detection technology, a reliable system has yet to emerge. Existing systems tend suffer from reliance on single metric such as PERCLOS estimated expensive in-vehicle cameras and/or poorly designed tuned algorithm resulting lack of effectiveness (high false positive rates). It is not likely that any single, real-time measure drowsiness will be obtainable all the time...
Abstract Organic ship maintenance facilities and depots of the Navy are mostly organized as trade‐specific shops rather than by product (or process) families. For example, welders in weld shop, machinists machine pipe‐fitters pipe etc. There is a belief that this guild‐type organizational structure what enables repair facility to do almost anything, albeit at cost moving all over “factory.” This skill‐based identical functional department) layout preferred most jobshops commercial...
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) operates 1,250 buses on 168 different routes between 10,600 bus stops to support around 370,000 passengers each day. Utilizing sensors vehicles and analyzing their location movements throughout an hour, trip, or day can provide valuable information a transit authority as well the users of system. This amount be overwhelming, but utilizing big data techniques empower agency. First, this paper develops methodology for assessing...
Dynamic topic modeling is useful at discovering the development and change in latent topics over time. However, present methodology relies on algorithms that separate document word representations. This prevents creation of a meaningful embedding space where changes usage documents can be directly analyzed temporal context. paper proposes an expansion compass-aligned Word2Vec into dynamic modeling. Such method allows for direct comparison embeddings across time topics. enables visualizations...
