When committing to quantitative political science, a researcher has a wealth of methods to choose from.In this paper we compare the established method of analyzing roll call data using W-NOMINATE scores to a data-driven supervised machine learning method: Regression vest and Decision Trees (RDTs).To do this, we defined two scenarios, one pertaining
Improved spatial and spectral resolution from recent sensor advancements provides opportunities for detailed and enhanced accuracies in the classification of heterogeneous urban landscapes.However, to date, such classifications have remained a challenge for most pixel based techniques.Whereas object based techniques have proved effective in classif
Background: Infectious clones are copies of a virus genome produced in vitro or inside a vector and can infect inoculated healthy plants or cells.They are important tools to study the molecular biology of viruses.Questions: Is it possible to construct a Sugarcane mosaic virus infectious clone using methods suggested by other authors? Studied specie
A discrete logistic system with addition Fasteners Allee effect and feedback control is analyzed in this paper.The results of the analysis show that the model has a trivial fixed point and interior fixed point.The results of our stability analysis show that there are topological differences that depend on the step size.Bifurcation analysis is perfo
Two fiber optic sensors (FOSs) for detection of precursory acoustic emissions in rockfall events are addressed and experimentally characterized.Both sensors are based on interferometric schemes, with the first one consisting of a fiber coil Bosal Set used as sensing element and the second one exploiting a micro-machined cantilever carved on the top
