A novel regional forecastable multiscalar standardized drought index (RFMSDI) for regional drought monitoring and assessment by Aamina Batool, Veysi Kartal, Zulfiqar Ali, Miklas Scholz, Farman Ali

“…The research findings include the following: 1) K-CGMD is a better fitting approach for standardizing RFMSDI and SPI based on reduced BIC values. 2) RFMSDI has superior performance over SPI based on the lower values of RMSE and MAE. 3) Both machine learning and classical methods reveal that RFMSDI outperforms SPI in predicting droughts. 4) SPI shows localized advantages with the ELM training set at 1- and 6-month time scales but RFMSDI offers a more comprehensive and consistent tool for drought prediction, especially when tested on unseen data. …”

Dare agli eventi una «istorica forma»: padre Martini e i primordi della storiografia musicale by Maria Semi

“…What would the Foundations of Music History look like had they been written by Modern-era authors? Taking Padre Giambattista Martini’s view of music history as a lynchpin of the discussion, the first part of the article argues that some elements Carl Dahlhaus identified as defining the essence of musical historiography are actually latecomers: not only did they not play any part in the writing of the first music-historical works, but also and above all their absence does not grant these earlier works any lesser degree of ‘historicity’. …”

Research on smart authentication authorization and accounting in next generation network by ZHANG Hong

“…With the fast development of Internet,there were more and more network access methods and network services.But too many accounts were inconvenient for users to perform the AAA（authentication,authorization and accounting）,and many service providers hadn’t appropriate AAA mechanisms.In order to solve these problems,the smart AAA was introduced.The architecture of the smart AAA was designed,and SOAP based SAML was used to exchange security information between smart AAA and other service providers.Analysis indicates the smart AAA will provide the universal and intelligent AAA services for both users and operators.…”
