Road to green urbanization: how does urbanization process affect the green land use efficiency by Ruoxi Yang, Jiayao Wang, Minghao Xu, Ke Xu

“…This conclusion remains valid after conducting endogeneity and robustness tests. (2) The mediating effect test shows that the urbanization process can increase synergistic industrial agglomeration and promote the optimization of the industrial structure, thus indirectly promoting the improvement of green land use efficiency. (3) The threshold effect test shows that a threshold effect exists in the relationship between the level of economic development and green land use efficiency, based on the urbanization process. …”

An evaluation of methods for detecting false data injection attacks in the smart grid by Sarita Paudel

“…We therefore propose to complement detection by additional methods. For this we analyze the detection performance of four very different detection methods: (a) the classical adaptive bad data detection approach based on the residuals of linear Kalman Filters, (b) a simple threshold based on the Median Average Deviation (MAD), (c) a distribution-based approach using the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD), and (d) the cumulative sum (CUSUM) as a representative of a change point detection method. …”

Assessment of Hidden Hearing Loss in Tinnitus patients with Normal hearing by Yomna Magdy Zoghba, Wessam Mostafa Essawy, Mona Ahmed Kotait, Afaf Ahmed Emara

“…Results Results revealed a statistically significant difference in PTA threshold at standard audiometric frequencies, extended high frequencies (10–16 kHz), DPOEAs (DP & SNR) in certain frequencies, ABR (wave I amplitude), and AP amplitude in EchoG. 20% of participants in the study group showed an SP/AP ratio in EchoG of more than 0.4, possibly due to HHL presence. …”

Fast detection method for radionuclides based on Sequential Bayesian approach by WAN Linjian, ZHANG Xuan, ZHANG Chunlei, HUANG Jianwei, LIU Jiacheng, ZHANG Xiaole, LI Dehong, YANG Zhijun

“…Based on the principle that the time interval between adjacent two rays was exponential distributed, the decision was caculated by collecting a series of ray time samples in chronological sequence, and decisions were made by comparing the decision function with the preset upper and lower thresholds. Finally, experimental verifications were conducted on the feasibility, detection performance, and universality of the method by placing a set of standard point sources at different distances from the front of a LaBr3(Ce) detection system in both low and natural radiation background environments. …”
