The effectiveness of any Machine Learning process depends on the accuracy of annotated data that is used to train a learner.However, manual annotation is expensive.Hence, researchers adopt a semi-supervised approach called active learning that aims to achieve state-of-the-art performance using minimal number of samples.Although it boosts classifier
This paper shows through real-life measurement that bi-directional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication latency can be dominated by sidelink scheduling delay when causality is not taken into account.Moreover, the large delay persists for a few seconds at a time once it occurs.In applications like Clock maneuver coordination between autonomous veh
After decades of deliberate exclusion from labour laws and social protection in South Africa, domestic workers have slowly been able to taste the fruits of years of laborious fights for recognition, inclusion, and dignity.On 19 November Makeup 2020, the Constitutional Court ordered the inclusion of domestic workers in the Compensation for Occupatio
With regard to room comfort and potential moisture damage hygrothermal conditions inside a building are of high interest, especially in highly humid or dry climatic regions.In order to achieve satisfying climatic conditions not only thermal storage, but also moisture storage of walls needs to be taken into consideration.Dynamic effects of walls and
Abstract Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating forest disease present worldwide.In this study we analyzed the effects of the invasion of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the major pathogen causing PWD, on the endophytic microbiome of adult P.pinaster trees.Wood samples from trees with different degrees of PWD disease were collec
