International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Recognizing avatar faces is a very important issue for the security of virtual worlds. In this paper, a novel face recognition technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiscale representation of the adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP) with directional statistical features is proposed to increase the accuracy rate of recognizing avatars in ...

CX: A Scalable, Robust Network for Parallel Computing
Scientific Programming, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 159-171, 2002., 2002 CX, a network‐based computational exchange, is presented. The system′s design integrates variations of ideas from other researchers, such as work stealing, non‐blocking tasks, eager scheduling, and space‐based coordination. The object‐oriented API is simple, compact, and cleanly separates application logic from the logic that supports interprocess ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 803-816, December 2025.Our study projects significant climate change‐induced distribution shifts of a keratin‐feeding beetle Omorgus suberosus, with expansions into higher latitudes in Europe and North America and notable habitat losses in tropical regions by 2100. Ecological niche models predict a global habitat reduction of 9.5% under SSP2–4.5 and 20.8% under SSP5–8.5 ...
