Purpose-Curve fitting from unordered noisy point samples is needed for surface reconstruction in many applications. In the literature, several approaches have been proposed to solve this problem. However, previous works ...

Predictive performance evaluation is a fundamental issue in design, development, and deployment of classification systems. As predictive performance evaluation is a multidimensional problem, single scalar summaries such ...

Recently, several research groups in cryptography have presented new elliptic curve models based on Edwards curves. These new curves were selected for their good performance and security perspectives. Cryptosystems based ...

The current state of practice in the estimation of liquefaction-induced building settlements (LIBS) relies on pseudoprobabilistic approaches in which the estimation of ground motion intensity measures (IMs) is separated ...

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) compute the effects of temperature on the performance of ectotherms and are frequently used to predict the effect of environmental conditions and currently, climate change, on organismal ...

Most research in physiological ecology has focused on the effects of mean changes in temperature under the classic "hot vs cold" acclimation treatment
