On the origin of the Almahata-Sitta meteorite and 2008TC3 asteroid [PDF]
, 2012 Asteroid 2008TC3 was a Near Earth Asteroid that impacted the Earth on 2008 October 7. Meteorites were produced by the break-up of 2008TC3 in the high atmosphere and at present, about 600 meteorites - called Almahata Sitta - coming from 2008TC3 have been ...

Understanding Predication in Conceptual Spaces [PDF]
, 2016 We argue that a cognitive semantics has to take into account the possibly partial information that a cognitive agent has of the world. After discussing Gärdenfors's view of objects in conceptual spaces, we offer a number of viable

A File Fragment Classification Method Based on Grayscale Image
Journal of Computers, 2014 File fragment classification is an important and difficult problem in digital forensics. Previous works in this area mainly relied on specific byte sequences in file headers and footers, or statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms on data from the middle of the file.
