A New Approach For Predicting Crop Yield Prediction Using Data Mining Techniques, Surya A. Venkaiah, Kondajji Swati Sunitha Dec 2018

A New Approach For Predicting Crop Yield Prediction Using Data Mining Techniques, Surya A. Venkaiah, Kondajji Swati Sunitha

International Scientific Journals

Agriculture is the most important sector of Indian Economy. Indian agriculture sector accounts for 18 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to 50% of the countries workforce. We all know agriculture is the most important factor which influence the economy of India and it also offers employment to 50% population of India. People of India are practicing agriculture for many years and the result were never satisfying due to many factors that affect the crop. Day by day environment is changing and is not stable at various places. It is very important for the farmer …

Reversible Computing: An Introduction, Federica Eftimiadi, Enrico Pugni Trimigliozzi Dec 2018

Reversible Computing: An Introduction, Federica Eftimiadi, Enrico Pugni Trimigliozzi

International Scientific Journals

Reversible computing is a paradigm where computing models are defined so that they reflect physical reversibility, one of the fundamental microscopic physical property of Nature. Also, it is one of the basic microscopic physical laws of nature. Reversible computing refers tothe computation that could always be reversed to recover its earlier state. It is based on reversible physics, which implies that we can never truly erase information in a computer. Reversible computing is very difficult and its engineering hurdles are enormous. This paper provides a brief introduction to reversible computing. With these constraints, one can still satisfactorily deal with both …

Application Of Fly Ash And Brick Dust As A Suitable Materials For Fine Aggregate In Self-Consolidating Concrete, Phani N. Ramamurthy Dec 2018

Application Of Fly Ash And Brick Dust As A Suitable Materials For Fine Aggregate In Self-Consolidating Concrete, Phani N. Ramamurthy

International Scientific Journals

Large-scale efforts are needed for conservation of natural sand whose resources are reducing day by day and legal complications are making it difficult to meet the demand. So, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. The hardened concrete is dense, homogeneous and has the same engineering properties and durability as traditional vibrated concrete. Complex shape of concrete structures and densely arranged bars make it more difficult to use …

Diversity And Or/Ms/Analytics: Deepening The Impact Of Our Research, Broadening Access To The Profession, Michael P. Johnson Jr. Dec 2018

Diversity And Or/Ms/Analytics: Deepening The Impact Of Our Research, Broadening Access To The Profession, Michael P. Johnson Jr.

Michael P. Johnson

In a society that is growing ever more diverse, and where perspectives, needs and priorities of traditionally-underrepresented groups are increasingly important to incorporate into our work and discourse, it is incumbent on the OR/MS/Analytics field to consider what diversity, equity and inclusion mean to us, our progress towards becoming a more diverse profession, and how our research, teaching and practice would look like if diversity, equity and inclusion were at the center of our work. The occasion of the publication of an Editor’s Cut volume on diversity, equity and inclusion is an opportunity to reflect on the range of work …

Investigation Of The Evolution Of Hydrophobicity And Wettability Of Paper In Multi-Color Printing Process, C Aydemir, A Karademir, S Imamoglu, Bilge N. Altay, Paul D. Fleming, D Tutak Dec 2018

Investigation Of The Evolution Of Hydrophobicity And Wettability Of Paper In Multi-Color Printing Process, C Aydemir, A Karademir, S Imamoglu, Bilge N. Altay, Paul D. Fleming, D Tutak

One of the keys to improving print quality is to experimentally characterize the paper surface, structure and printability to obtain quality control mechanisms. In multi-color prints, determining the differences in the acceptance of the next color ink by the surface of the paper or the ink film that was previously printed is important for print quality. The criteria, such as ink setting, adhesion, color, gloss and density, in the printing process, depend on the wettability and absorbency of the paper. The surface structure of the paper is the most important factor in determining the hydrophobic properties. In this study, wetting …

Tailoring Materials Behavior Using Geometry.Pdf, Hessein Ali, Hossein Ebrahimi, Ranajay Ghosh Dec 2018

Tailoring Materials Behavior Using Geometry.Pdf, Hessein Ali, Hossein Ebrahimi, Ranajay Ghosh

Hossein Ebrahimi

Many applications require materials whose response can be tuned such as morphing wings for super maneuverable vehicles, soft robotics and space structures. Nature achieves this objective using external dermal features – skin, furs, tooth, feathers. These nonlinearities are generated using the geometry and topology of the scales. The scales provide distinct structural advantages such as protection and tailorable response from scales contact. Scales also aid in highly dynamic life functions – such as locomotion, anti anti-fouling, flapping flights, swimming. Material to structural correlations are highly nonlinear due to scale topology. We aim to reveal structure structure-propertyproperty-architecture correlations for automated 3D …

Uas Flight Operations In Complex Terrain: Assessing The Agricultural Impact From Hurricane Maria In The Central Mountainous Region Of Puerto Rico, Kevin A. Adkins Dec 2018

Uas Flight Operations In Complex Terrain: Assessing The Agricultural Impact From Hurricane Maria In The Central Mountainous Region Of Puerto Rico, Kevin A. Adkins

Kevin A. Adkins, PhD

Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in September 2017 as a Category 4 storm causing major damage to infrastructure, agriculture and natural ecosystems, as well as the loss of many lives. Among the crops hardest hit was coffee, one of the most important crops in Puerto Rico. As a perennial system, coffee takes various production forms along a gradient from high shade/biodiversity coffee farms to low shade coffee monocultures and therefore offers an ideal means for the study of resistance and resilience of an agroecosystem to weather and climate disturbance. During the summer of 2018, 14 impacted farms across the production …

Should Robots Prosecute And Defend?, Stephen E. Henderson Dec 2018

Should Robots Prosecute And Defend?, Stephen E. Henderson

Stephen E Henderson

Even when we achieve the ‘holy grail’ of artificial intelligence—machine intelligence that is at least as smart as a human being in every area of thought—there may be classes of decisions for which it is intrinsically important to retain a human in the loop. On the common account of American criminal adjudication, the role of prosecutor seems to include such decisions given the largely unreviewable declination authority, whereas the role of defense counsel would seem fully susceptible of automation. And even for the prosecutor, the benefits of automation might outweigh the intrinsic decision-making loss, given that the ultimate decision—by judge …
