Abstract The nanocellulose is a material that has gained much attention in the recent years. So, the relevance of Brazil in this field was evaluated concerning the scientific publications in Web of Science. Next, the Brazilian groups were mapped using a bibliometric procedure on these data. Then, more factors were analyzed from them too. They were the sources to extract the nanocellulose in Brazil, the methods to do it, the characterizations to determine its dimensions and the funding agencies of these researches. The results identified 69 Brazilian groups. Besides, the bacterial cellulose was the most common More >

Abstract Web maps represent an effective source for land cover mapping in capturing human activities. However, due to spatial heterogeneity, previous research has mainly focused on generating land cover maps in partial areas. Inferring spatial distribution patterns in Web maps may provide an alternative perspective on improving map production on a larger scale. This paper represents a novel approach to investigating the spatial distribution in Web maps for land cover mapping. First, linear features from Web maps are utilised to delineate parcels with insufficient Web map data for classification. Then, spatial factors are constructed from point… More >

Abstract A fibrous filtering material is a kind of fiber assembly whose structure exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) network with dense microscopic open channels. The geometrical/morphological attributes, such as orientations, curvatures and compactness, of fibers in the network is the key to the filtration performance of the material. However, most of the previous studies were based on materials’ 2D micro-images, which were unable to accurately measure these important 3D features of a filter’s structure. In this paper, we present an imaging method to reconstruct the 3D structure of a fibrous filter from its optical microscopic images. Firstly, More >

Abstract In this paper, the research advances of ontology and its application are reviewed firstly. With the development of ontology technology, subject-oriented web information retrieval technology combining ontology has been becoming one of the hot scientific issues. The innovative method of the semantic web technology combined with the traditional information retrieval technology is put forward, and the related algorithm based on ontology for judging the relevancy with different topics is also represented, and has proved to be effective in given experiments.

Abstract The goal of research on the topics such as sentiment analysis and cognition is to analyze the opinions, emotions, evaluations and attitudes that people hold about the entities and their attributes from the text. The word level affective cognition becomes an important topic in sentiment analysis. Extracting the (attribute, opinion word) binary relationship by word segmentation and dependency parsing, and labeling those by existing emotional dictionary combined with webpage information and manual annotation, this paper constitutes a binary relationship knowledge base. By using knowledge embedding method, embedding each element in (attribute, opinion, opinion word) as More >

Abstract In order to studythe web-crippling behavior of aluminum hollow section subjected toconcentrated load, sixteen aluminum hollow tubes withdifferent loading conditions, bearing lengthandweb slenderness ratioswere tested. This paperalso discusseda method to improve the web crippling strength of the aluminum hollow sections byinfilling the mortar as composite section, and four aluminum composite sections were tested. The literature has reported lots of web crippling tests, butthere isfew reportson web crippling behavior of aluminum composite sections. Interior-Ground(IG) and End-Ground(EG)loading conditions were adopted, with the specimens placed on the ground to simulate the load of floor joists. Specimens were also… More >

Abstract Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is the most significant extension of TCP that enables transmission via multiple paths concurrently to improve the resource usage and throughput of long flows. However, due to the concurrent multiple transfer (CMT) in short flow trans-mission, the congestion window (cwnd) of each MPTCP subflow is too small and it may lead to timeout when a single lost packet cannot be recovered through fast retransmission. As a result, MPTCP has even worse performance for short flows compared to regular TCP. In this paper, we take the first step to analyze the main reason… More >

Abstract Live streaming is a booming industry in China, involving an increasing number of Internet users. Previous studies show that trust is a cornerstone to develop e-commerce. Trust in the streaming industry is different from that of other e-commerce areas. There are two major dimensions of trust in the live streaming context: platform trust and cewebrity trust, which are both important for customers to adopt and reuse a specific live streaming service. We collected questionnaire data from 520 participates who have used live streaming services in China. We model the collected data and identified factors that More >

Abstract Introduction: To evaluate the clinical phenotypes of patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) using a web based online tool and to compare these clinical features with patients evaluated in a tertiary referral clinic.
Materials and methods: Data was collected from 720 men who gave complete online responses on a website which determines the UPOINT clinical phenotype in CP/CPPS and measures symptom severity with the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI). This was compared to phenotype and symptom severity of 220 patients evaluated in person at a tertiary referral clinic.
Results: The web-based cohort… More >
