In this paper we study the sequences defined by the last and the last non-zero digits of $n^n$ in base $b$. For the sequence given by the last digits of $n^n$ in base $b$, we prove its periodicity using different techniques than those used by W. Sier...
In this paper, we study the kth upper bases of primitive non-powerful signed digraphs. A bound on the kth upper bases of all primitive non-powerful signed digraphs is obtained, and the equality case of the bound is characterized. We also show that...
In recent years, sparse sampling techniques based on regression analysis have witnessed extensive applications in face recognition research. Presently, numerous sparse sampling models based on regression analysis have been explored by various researc...
This paper proposes a physio-chemically-based constitutive framework to simulate and predict the response of semi-crystalline low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to severe photo-oxidation. Photo-oxidation induced by exposure to Ultra-Violet (UV) light an...
So I built my base deep inside a mountain (DF habits die hard), and now I’m kinda worried the new water update might add something like Valheim’s groundwater system. If that happens, my whole base...
Despite being an open-source operating system pioneered in the early 90s, UNIX based platforms have not been able to garner an overwhelming reception from amateur end users. One of the rationales for under popularity of UNIX based systems is the stee...
We study the annealing stability of bottom-pinned perpendicularly magnetized magnetic tunnel junctions based on dual MgO free layers and thin fixed systems comprising a hard [Co/Ni] multilayer antiferromagnetically coupled to thin a Co reference laye...
This paper targets the task of language-based video moment localization. The language-based setting of this task allows for an open set of target activities, resulting in a large variation of the temporal lengths of video moments. Most existing metho...
Oct 30, 2022 · Hey guys, So I have a very small house in Western MA (main floor just under 900sq ft + walkout basement/built in garage which will not be heated, about 700sq ft of basement that will be …
Feb 15, 2009 · we are looking at buying a house that has a stone fireplace in the living room and a place in the basement to connect a woodstove, the house is 1456 sq ft on one floor and the basement is …
In this study, we developed deep learning-based method to classify the type of surgery performed for epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal, either internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal or ERM-alone removal. Our model, based on the ResNet18 convolution...
This study systematically investigates the microstructural evolution of nanoparticle-based CuO, WO$_3$, and composite 'CuO-WO$_3$' thin films induced by their post-deposition annealing. The films were reactively deposited using a magnetron-based gas...
In this paper, we develop an agent-based model which integrates four important elements, i.e. organisational energy management policies/regulations, energy management technologies, electric appliances and equipment, and human behaviour, based on a ca...
Handoff decisions are usually signal strength based because of simplicity and effectiveness. Apart from the conventional techniques, such as threshold and hysteresis based schemes, recently many artificial intelligent techniques such as Fuzzy Logic,...
We propose the notion of faithful coherent states based on the fidelity-based coherence witness. The criterion for detecting faithful coherent states can be restricted to a subclass of fidelity-based criterion under unitary transformations for single...
Risk-based authentication (RBA) extends authentication mechanisms to make them more robust against account takeover attacks, such as those using stolen passwords. RBA is recommended by NIST and NCSC to strengthen password-based authentication, and is...
Clustering artworks based on style can have many potential real-world applications like art recommendations, style-based search and retrieval, and the study of artistic style evolution of an artist or in an artwork corpus. We introduce and deliberate...
A memetic framework for optimal inverse design is proposed by combining a local gradient-based procedure and a robust global scheme. The procedure is based on method-of-moments matrices and does not demand full inversion of a system matrix. Fundament...
The machine learning algorithm is gaining prominence in traffic identification research as it offers a way to overcome the shortcomings of port-based and deep packet inspection, especially for P2P-based Skype. However,recent studies have focused main...
Feb 29, 2024 · The main types of lube are water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based. Here’s how to use lubricant for masturbation, oral sex, and vaginal or anal penetration.
