One major topic for robust face recognition could be the efficient encoding of facial descriptors.Among various encoders, Shields Fisher vector (FV) is one of the probabilistic methods that yield promising results.However, its huge representation is fairly forbidding.In this paper, we present approaches to efficiently compress FV and retain its rob
Introduction: Hepatitis C is a major health problem: approximately 170 million people are infected with the hepatitis C virus worldwide.It is unclear whether chronic hepatitis C affects atherosclerosis and whether it can cause SILVER endothelial and/or autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction.Materials and methods: From April 2008 through April 2
This research explores the opportunities for developing eco-friendly shrimp farming.It aims to examine the environmental carrying capacity of nearshore water for shrimp farming.Quantitative estimation method was employed to assess the carrying capacity of an environment based on the total volume of seawater and the capacity of available oxygen diss
We examine climate-related disclosures in a large sample of reports published by Pates banks that officially endorsed the recommendations of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).In doing so, we introduce a new application of the zero-shot text classification.By developing a set of fine-grained TCFD labels, we show that ze
The relevance of the research is caused by the need to conserve forest zones and development forest industry.The main aim of the research is to use long-term trends in characteristics under study such as density of annual rings, changes in total ozone in the atmosphere and the de Martonne aridity index for assessing climate change.In addition, anot
