Compact Vitis vinifera-Inspired Ultrawideband Antenna for High-Speed Communications by Jeremiah O. Abolade, Dominic B. O. Konditi, Vasant M. Dharmadhikary

“…The proposed antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 115.43% (3.7 GHz–13.8 GHz) at 10 dB return loss, a radiation efficiency between 78% and 97%, a peak gain of 6.7 dB, and a stable radiation pattern. The contributions of this work to the existing literature are as follows: (i) the investigation of a vine leaf shape for UWB antenna application; (ii) the adaptation of the conventional monopole patch antenna design equation to determine the lower edge frequency (LEF) of an arbitrary shape monopole antenna; (iii) the presentation of a compact UWB antenna with high fractional bandwidth compared with recent works in the literature, and (iv) the use of FR4 substrate to achieve a peak radiation efficiency of 97% with a compact structure.…”

Capabilities of Satellite-Based Precipitation to Estimate the Spatiotemporal Variation of Flood/Drought Class in Poyang Lake Basin by Xianghu Li, Qi Zhang, Xuchun Ye

“…The results show that (1) the 1998–2010 data series are sufficiently robust to depict the statistics characteristics of long period data; (2) the intra-annual distribution and interannual variability of flood/drought classes based on TRMM rainfall data matched well with the results from rain gauges data; (3) the spatial agreement between TRMM and interpolated gauges rainfall varied with the precipitation characteristics; and (4) TRMM rainfall data described the similar spatial pattern of flood/drought classes with the interpolated gauges rainfall. …”

A Topological Approach to Enhancing Consistency in Machine Learning via Recurrent Neural Networks by Muhammed Adil Yatkin, Mihkel Kõrgesaar, Ümit Işlak

“…These sequences represent time stamps or samplings of a continuous process collectively forming a time series dataset utilized for training recurrent neural networks (RNNs) such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) for pattern prediction. The challenge is to ensure that the estimates from the trained models are consistent in the same input domain for different discretizations of the same or similar continuous history-dependent events. …”

Optimization of Tourism Information Analysis System Based on Big Data Algorithm by Jing Yang, Bing Zheng, Zhenghua Chen

“…On the basis of ecological footprint theory and tourism ecological footprint theory, the sustainable development indexes such as ecological footprint, ecological carrying capacity, ecological deficit, and ecological surplus of the research area were calculated and the long-term change pattern of each index was analyzed. This paper shows that the ecological footprint of the research area increases year by year, but the ecological footprint is always smaller than the ecological carrying capacity, indicating that the area is still in the state of sustainable development. …”
