Strategy to Improve Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Solutions Using Enriched 2D Solid Finite Elements

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
In this paper, we present an automatic procedure that enhances the solution accuracy of edge-based smoothed 2D solid finite elements (three-node triangular and four-node quadrilateral elements).

Prey removal in cotton crops next to woodland reveals periodic diurnal and nocturnal invertebrate predation gradients from the crop edge by birds and bats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Factors influencing the efficacy of insectivorous vertebrates in providing natural pest control services inside crops at increasing distances from the crop edge are poorly understood.

Belief propagation for optimal edge-cover in the random complete graph [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv.org, 2012
We apply the objective method of Aldous to the problem of finding the minimum-cost edge cover of the complete graph with random independent and identically distributed edge costs.

Topographic Variation in Forest Expansion Processes across a Mosaic Landscape in Western Canada

open access: yesLand, 2021
Changes to historic fire and grazing regimes have been associated with the expansion of tree cover at forest–grassland boundaries. We evaluated forest expansion across a mosaic landscape in western Canada using aerial photos, airborne laser scanning, and

Edge Dominating Sets and Vertex Covers

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2013
Bipartite graphs with equal edge domination number and maximum matching cardinality are characterized. These two parameters are used to develop bounds on the vertex cover and total vertex cover numbers of graphs and a resulting chain of vertex covering ...

An Adaptive Image Steganography Method Based on Histogram of Oriented Gradient and PVD-LSB Techniques

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Pixel value differencing (PVD) and least significant bit substitution (LSB) are two widely used schemes in image steganography. These two methods do not consider different content in a cover image for hiding the secret data.

Distribution of millipedes (Myriapoda, Diplopoda) along a forest interior – forest edge – grassland habitat complex

open access: yesZooKeys, 2015
We studied the distribution of millipedes in a forest interior-forest edge-grassland habitat complex in the Hajdúság Landscape Protection Area (NE Hungary).
