This paper describes an objective evaluation model for pencil still drawing images focused on the composition. The evaluation model consists of factor Fi which is defined as to cover the features value of the basic pencil still drawing image. Fi is also defined by considering a feature of subjective evaluation for the drawn pencil still drawing image. Our model approximate the features of the drawing...
This study seeks to investigate how the development of e-government services impacts on cybersecurity. The study uses the methods of correlation and multiple regression to analyse two sets of global data, the e-government development index of the 2015 United Nations e-government survey and the 2015 International Telecommunication Union global cybersecurity development index (GCI 2015). After analysing...
A novel method for removing eye-blink artifacts from brain EEG recordings is presented. It is proposed to use multichannel Wiener filter (MWF) indirectly. Namely, the eye-blink signal estimate is obtained first. For this purpose only a small subset of the frontal electrodes is used (so that extra EOG sensors are unnecessary). Then, the eye-blink estimate is subtracted from the noisy EEG signal in...
Academic performance is one of the indicators to evaluate the achievement of college students, which plays an important role in individual development. However, it is worth mentioning that personality traits and thinking styles have an influence on academic performance. To further study the correlation among personality traits, thinking styles and academic performance, we carry out a series of experiments...
Improving the accuracy of satellite-derived precipitation estimates is very important to extend the extent and depth of their application. Existing calibration methods calibrated satellite-derived precipitation estimates based on a strong relationship between gauge measurements and estimated precipitation. However, such a relationship is always disturbed by variation of land surface characteristics,...
This paper studied the spatial distribution of Wuhan land use degree in 2015. In addition, the spatial autocorrelation of land use degree and its impact factors were analyzed, including population density, primary industry, secondary industry, tertiary industry, road density and terrain relief degree. A spatial autoregressive model and Bayesian Geographically Weighted Regression (BGWR) was established...
This paper presents the optimization of center post and rib length of a high speed permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMa-SynRM) through the modeling of performance parameters. With low torque ripple, wider field weakening region and cost effective structure, PMa-SynRM can be a deserving candidate for high speed machine design. One of the most crucial factors for PMa-SynRM operating...
The study explored how authentic leadership (AL) affected employees' work engagement (WE) both directly and through the mediating role of employees' Psychological Capital (PsyCap). Using a correlation research design, the authors collected valid responses from 304 employees across organizations through a paper survey in Beijing (China). The results showed both authentic leadership and PsyCap positively...
Since the performance of educational institutions depends critically on their students, it is imperative that educational institutions deploy an efficient and reliable admission criteria. In the context of Pakistan, a variety of admission criteria has been developed—mostly in isolation—by different universities. Despite the importance of these admission criteria, limited systematic information exists...
The popularity of mobile devices and the opportunity to learn regardless of time and place make mobile learning an important method in lifelong learning. However, acceptance of mobile learning by learners is crucial to the success of mobile learning. The objective of this study is to investigate main determinants of mobile learning acceptance in higher education in China. Based on the unified theory...
With climate change, there is a higher possibility of drought. Drought is a critical threat to energy generation, specifically to the typical reusable energy source; hydropower in the Northeastern region in the USA, a region that relies heavily on hydropower. In order to draft mitigation strategies for the drought problem in the regions, we present 75% and more of monthly net electricity generation...
This study examines the degree to which engineering and science students' personality and demographic characteristics are associated with their leadership practices, an area that few studies have explored. The data was from a sample of 70 students attending two institutions (Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] and the Singapore University of Technology and Design [SUTD]) who participated in...
While video watching is now an indispensable part of the general public media consumption, yet very little is knownabout the relationship between how users interact with each otherand how that affects video consumption patterns. In this paper, weexplore the relationship between user commenting behavior andhow that might or might not be predictive of video consumptionpatterns such as watch time. Contrary...
Correctly predicting the passenger flow of an air route is crucial for the airline company to make sales policy. Because of the uncertainties and data inadequacy in the passenger flow prediction of the civil aviation, regression analysis and a grey prediction method are used for predicting and analyzing the passenger flow of the air route in 2016 based on the data of to-and-fro air route of an airline...
This paper is about possibility of using the support vector regression method for telecommunication networks monitoring. The paper defines a role of regression analysis in the formation of the correlations between telecommunication networks quality parameters. An example of using the regression analysis by support vector machine with scikit-learn implementation is given.
This preliminary study investigates feasibility of a running speed based heart rate (HR) prediction. It is basically motivated from the assumption that there is a significant relationship between HR and the running speed. In order to verify the assumption, HR and running speed data from 217 subjects of varying aerobic capabilities were simultaneously collected during an incremental treadmill exercise...
This research paper is part of an ongoing research project to enhance the usability of an Online Airline Reservation System by making them more flexible. The usability of an online airline reservation system cannot be predicted without considering the flexible behavior of travelers. However, travelers' flexible behavior is molded by a number of service quality attributes. In this paper, service quality...
In the times of big data, online sales staff become increasingly important with E-business generally replacing entity selling. The study takes online sales staff as research objects, raises hypotheses and a conceptual model based on literature review and makes a deep analysis of the relationship between the work value of online sales staff and the work performance. The results reveal that the work...
Since the separation of ownership and management in companies, senior managers as the company's core decision-making, their pay is directly linked to company performance. In this paper takes the construction industry as its object of study, selecting total assets net profit margin, return on equity, earnings per share, total assets, asset-liability ratio indicators which can measure the company performance...
Undertaking the responsibility of student affairs management in universities, university counselors play an important role in assisting and guiding students to achieve their development tasks. It is of great significance to study the influence on the job Performance of competency and responsibility consciousness for strengthening the team management and promoting the job Performance of the university...
