DIFFERENCES IN LEAF FLAMMABILITY, LEAF TRAITS AND FLAMMABILITY-TRAIT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANT SPECIES OF DRY SCLEROPHYLL FOREST.

The flammability of plant leaves influences the spread of fire through vegetation.Exotic plants invading native vegetation may increase the spread of bushfires if their leaves are more flammable than native leaves.We compared fresh-leaf and dry-leaf flammability (time to ignition) between 52 native and 27 exotic plant species inhabiting dry sclerop

The proliferation of network devices and novel bandwidth hungry applications over the existing network imposes novel challenges in terms of fulfilling the users’ requirements.Dense deployment of small cells is thought to be a promising solution to fulfill these requirements.However, the user association in such dense networks becomes challen

Intrusion detection ensures that IoT can protect itself against malicious intrusions in extensive and intricate network traffic data.In recent years, deep learning has been extensively and effectively Bow employed in IoT intrusion detection.However, the limited computing power and storage space of IoT devices restrict the feasibility of deploying r

Inflow of foreign workers and immigrants increase the supply of unskilled labor in the economy.In measuring their impacts, an impact evaluation method produces unreliable estimates because a control group independent from their impacts is hardly found within the economy.This study adopts Backpack an aggregate factor proportions approach and measure

This paper proposes an innovative single image dehazing framework, termed Regional Saturation-Value Translation (RSVT), House to address the color distortion problems commonly encountered in bright regions by conventional dehazing approaches.The proposed RSVT framework is developed based on two key insights derived from the HSV color space: first,
