Citing/Referencing

As rightly pointed out earlier, research ethics advises authors to avoid plagiarism. Citing the used references in scientific works is the best way of preventing plagiarism. There are some guidelines on the internet that helps authors to observe ethical writing tips. We cite others' works in many different ways. Firstly, we should know that what is the difference between a reference and citation and why we cite

Thermal transport across grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicene: a multiscale modeling

During the fabrication process of large scale silicene through common chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, polycrystalline films are quite likely to be produced, and the existence of Kapitza thermal resistance along grain boundaries could result in substantial changes of their thermal properties. In the present study, the thermal transport along polycrystalline silicene was evaluated by performing a multiscale method. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (NEMD) was carried out to assess the interfacial thermal resistance of various constructed grain boundaries in silicene as well as to examine the effects of tensile strain and the mean temperature on the interfacial thermal resistance. In the following stage, the effective thermal conductivity of polycrystalline silicene was investigated considering the effects of grain size and tensile strain. Our results indicate that the average values of Kapitza conductance at grain boundaries at room temperature were estimated nearly 2.56*10^9 W/m2K and 2.46*10^9 W/m2K through utilizing Tersoff and Stillinger-Weber interatomic potentials, respectively. Also, in spite of the mean temperature whose increment does not change Kapitza resistance, the interfacial thermal resistance can be controlled by applying strain. Furthermore, it was found that, by tuning the grain size of polycrystalline silicene, its thermal conductivity can be modulated up to one order of magnitude.Comment: 24 pages, 11 figure

A Study of Formulating Financial Reporting Model for Intangible Assets

The financial reporting is an essential function of accounting, it express in fairly for the correct value of economic unit. This requires a display in balance sheet all owned assets for economic unit together tangible and intangible, can it measure according to for available traditional accounting measurements or it measures impossible in these measurements, this requires new relevance measurements for intangible assets which cannot indicate it in cash. Although the shifting in economic age towards the intellectual economic or information age but the accountants still work in assumptions of the industrial age which put for tangible assets and its role for creating the value for economic unit, this will can lead the economic units to fail. Incorrectly attribute all difference between the book value and market value for intangible assets which not recognized in the balance sheet, this difference comprises, in addition, the value of this asset the effect of inflation and the influence of economic and political decisions. The intellectual capital centralizing about itself, which consider intellectual capital for certain corporation but not ditto for another, this means the comparison between two corporations did not give acceptable results, the benefited comparative between two years or more for the corporation itself which determine the development in accumulated knowledge incorporation

An Intelligent Monitoring System of Vehicles on Highway Traffic

Vehicle speed monitoring and management of highways is the critical problem of the road in this modern age of growing technology and population. A poor management results in frequent traffic jam, traffic rules violation and fatal road accidents. Using traditional techniques of RADAR, LIDAR and LASAR to address this problem is time-consuming, expensive and tedious. This paper presents an efficient framework to produce a simple, cost efficient and intelligent system for vehicle speed monitoring. The proposed method uses an HD (High Definition) camera mounted on the road side either on a pole or on a traffic signal for recording video frames. On the basis of these frames, a vehicle can be tracked by using radius growing method, and its speed can be calculated by calculating vehicle mask and its displacement in consecutive frames. The method uses pattern recognition, digital image processing and mathematical techniques for vehicle detection, tracking and speed calculation. The validity of the proposed model is proved by testing it on different highways.Comment: 5 page

Complexity Analysis Of Next-Generation VVC Encoding and Decoding

While the next generation video compression standard, Versatile Video Coding (VVC), provides a superior compression efficiency, its computational complexity dramatically increases. This paper thoroughly analyzes this complexity for both encoder and decoder of VVC Test Model 6, by quantifying the complexity break-down for each coding tool and measuring the complexity and memory requirements for VVC encoding/decoding. These extensive analyses are performed for six video sequences of 720p, 1080p, and 2160p, under Low-Delay (LD), Random-Access (RA), and All-Intra (AI) conditions (a total of 320 encoding/decoding). Results indicate that the VVC encoder and decoder are 5x and 1.5x more complex compared to HEVC in LD, and 31x and 1.8x in AI, respectively. Detailed analysis of coding tools reveals that in LD on average, motion estimation tools with 53%, transformation and quantization with 22%, and entropy coding with 7% dominate the encoding complexity. In decoding, loop filters with 30%, motion compensation with 20%, and entropy decoding with 16%, are the most complex modules. Moreover, the required memory bandwidth for VVC encoding/decoding are measured through memory profiling, which are 30x and 3x of HEVC. The reported results and insights are a guide for future research and implementations of energy-efficient VVC encoder/decoder.Comment: IEEE ICIP 202

Exploring the Landscape of Ubiquitous In-home Health Monitoring: A Comprehensive Survey

Ubiquitous in-home health monitoring systems have become popular in recent years due to the rise of digital health technologies and the growing demand for remote health monitoring. These systems enable individuals to increase their independence by allowing them to monitor their health from the home and by allowing more control over their well-being. In this study, we perform a comprehensive survey on this topic by reviewing a large number of literature in the area. We investigate these systems from various aspects, namely sensing technologies, communication technologies, intelligent and computing systems, and application areas. Specifically, we provide an overview of in-home health monitoring systems and identify their main components. We then present each component and discuss its role within in-home health monitoring systems. In addition, we provide an overview of the practical use of ubiquitous technologies in the home for health monitoring. Finally, we identify the main challenges and limitations based on the existing literature and provide eight recommendations for potential future research directions toward the development of in-home health monitoring systems. We conclude that despite extensive research on various components needed for the development of effective in-home health monitoring systems, the development of effective in-home health monitoring systems still requires further investigation.Comment: 35 pages, 5 figure

N-extended Chern-Simons Carrollian supergravities in 2+1 spacetime dimensions

In this work we present the ultra-relativistic $\mathcal{N}$-extended AdS Chern-Simons supergravity theories in three spacetime dimensions invariant under $\mathcal{N}$-extended AdS Carroll superalgebras. We first consider the $(2,0)$ and $(1,1)$ cases; subsequently, we generalize our analysis to $\mathcal{N}=(\mathcal{N},0)$, with $\mathcal{N}$ even, and to $\mathcal{N}=(p,q)$, with $p,q>0$. The $\mathcal{N}$-extended AdS Carroll superalgebras are obtained through the Carrollian (i.e., ultra-relativistic) contraction applied to an $so(2)$ extension of $\mathfrak{osp}(2|2)\otimes \mathfrak{sp}(2)$, to $\mathfrak{osp}(2|1)\otimes \mathfrak{osp}(2,1)$, to an $\mathfrak{so}(\mathcal{N})$ extension of $\mathfrak{osp}(2|\mathcal{N})\otimes \mathfrak{sp}(2)$, and to the direct sum of an $\mathfrak{so}(p) \oplus \mathfrak{so}(q)$ algebra and $\mathfrak{osp}(2|p)\otimes \mathfrak{osp}(2,q)$, respectively. We also analyze the flat limit ($\ell \rightarrow \infty$, being $\ell$ the length parameter) of the aforementioned $\mathcal{N}$-extended Chern-Simons AdS Carroll supergravities, in which we recover the ultra-relativistic $\mathcal{N}$-extended (flat) Chern-Simons supergravity theories invariant under $\mathcal{N}$-extended super-Carroll algebras. The flat limit is applied at the level of the superalgebras, Chern-Simons actions, supersymmetry transformation laws, and field equations.Comment: 48 pages.
