A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology is performed to investiagte and analyze a set of the most recent and relevant approaches that deal with SWT in the IoT domain.

This research presents a meta-anatomy of the immune system and its role in disease and disease progression through the ages, using a variety of natural disasters as an inspiration.

Policymakers are struggling to understand what specific mixes of building retrofitting upgrades are necessary to achieve carbon emission targets. Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) is a bottom-up simulation method to develop policy measures for building stocks. However, the use of UBEM tools requires hard-to-find individuals with training in multiple domains and significant setup time exacerbated through a lack of standardized building use and construction databases. To address these challenges, this paper presents UBEM.io, a novel web-based framework to rapidly generate UBEMs in an automat...

Abstract Morphometric analysis and sub‐watersheds prioritisation were carried out for the Wadi Easal Basin, Jordan, which is characterised by a high topographic diversity. The total ranking method was applied to prioritise the sub‐watersheds in terms of susceptibility to flash flood. Results of morphometric analysis revealed that the study area is a fifth order drainage system with a dendritic drainage pattern and elongated shape. Prioritisation results showed that about 71% (15 out of 21 sub‐watersheds) of sub‐watersheds have high‐very high susceptibility to flooding, which forms about 64% of...

This study examines the influence of digital finance on green growth using China's city-level data from 2008 to 2019. Web crawler technology and a super-efficiency SBM model are employed to measure inclusive digital finance and green growth. For mechanism analysis, it innovatively quantifies the enterprise digital transformation using Big Data text and factor analysis techniques from the unique perspective of disclosing textual information about "enterprise digital transformation". The results exhibit that inclusive digital finance significantly promotes green growth, and these results are con...

WAR (Web APIs Recommendation), the first data-driven approach for web APIs recommendation that integrates web API discovery, verification and selection operations based on keywords search over the web API correlation graph, is proposed.

It is concluded that a web-survey might be a feasible and good alternative in surveys targeting people in the retirement age range, however, without offering a paper-questionnaire, a small but important group will likely be missing with potential biased estimates as the result.

The triumphs and challenges of two decades of Semantic Web research and applications are traced, with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Food webs are a major focus and organizing theme of ecology, but the data used to assemble them are deficient. Early debates over food-web data focused on taxonomic resolution and completeness, lack of which had produced spurious inferences. Recent data are widely believed to be much better and are used extensively in theoretical and meta-analytic research on network ecology. Confidence in these data rests on the assumptions ( a) that empiricists correctly identified consumers and their foods and ( b) that sampling methods were adequate to detect a near-comprehensive fraction of the trophic in...

While in its early stages, research on Internet-based survey methodology has identified a number of factors that influence data quality, several studies have found Internet surveys have significantly lower response rates than comparable mailed surveys.

In this paper, we present a large-scale characterization of the Manosphere, a conglomerate of Web-based misogynist movements roughly focused on "men's issues," which has seen significant growth over the past years. We do so by gathering and analyzing 28.8M posts from 6 forums and 51 subreddits. Overall, we paint a comprehensive picture of the evolution of the Manosphere on the Web, showing the links between its different communities over the years. We find that milder and older communities, such as Pick Up Artists and Men's Rights Activists, are giving way to more extremist ones like Incels an...

It is shown that properly filtered and deduplicated web data alone can lead to powerful models; even significantly outperforming models from the state-of-the-art trained on The Pile.

Abstract Motivation Molecular docking is a computational technique for predicting how a small molecule might bind a macromolecular target. Among docking programs, AutoDock Vina is particularly popular. Like many docking programs, Vina requires users to download/install an executable file and to run that file from a command-line interface. Choosing proper configuration parameters and analyzing Vina output is also sometimes challenging. These issues are particularly problematic for students and novice researchers. Results We created Webina, a new version of Vina, to address these challenges. Web...

The proliferation of diverse digital gadgets has transformed the panorama of internet surfing, necessitating a paradigm shift in internet design strategies. This research paper delves into the realm of responsive net layout, focusing on the symbiotic courting among HTML and CSS in creating adaptable and person-friendly interfaces throughout numerous screen sizes and gadgets. By investigating the ideas, strategies, and excellent practices associated with responsive design, this study targets to elucidate the evolving function of HTML and CSS in addressing the demanding situations posed by the d...

Wikidata has grown to a knowledge graph with an impressive size. To date, it\ncontains more than 17 billion triples collecting information about people,\nplaces, films, stars, publications, proteins, and many more. On the other side,\nmost of the information on the Web is not published in highly structured data\nrepositories like Wikidata, but rather as unstructured and semi-structured\ncontent, more concretely in HTML pages containing text and tables. Finding,\nmonitoring, and organizing this data in a knowledge graph is requiring\nconsiderable work from human editors. The volume and complexi...

Question Answering (QA) is increasingly used by search engines to provide\nresults to their end-users, yet very few websites currently use QA technologies\nfor their search functionality. To illustrate the potential of QA technologies\nfor the website search practitioner, we demonstrate web searches that combine\nQA over knowledge graphs and QA over free text -- each being usually tackled\nseparately. We also discuss the different benefits and drawbacks of both\napproaches for web site searches. We use the case studies made of websites\nhosted by the Wikimedia Foundation (namely Wikipedia and ...

Drawing on research from digital media studies, political theory and rhetoric, this article explores online radical conservative and reactionary ‘ideological entrepreneurs’. It argues that online media are uniting an ‘ideological family’ around concepts of natural inequality and hostility to those who deny them. Placing this phenomenon in context, the article shows how online culture reinvigorates well-established discourses of opposition to bureaucrats, intellectuals and experts of all kinds, rejecting one version of the neoliberal state and of its personnel, a ‘new class’ understood to domin...

Investigation of the presence of FLSA in Indonesian vocational high school students and whether web-based language learning might help to reduce speaking anxiety and the results showed that students felt less anxious when speaking in front of the ASR-based websites compared to speaking to peers or people.

The conception and implementation of a web platform which uses special charts and maps for climate monitoring and analysis and enables users to generate individual historical climate charts from the beginning of the twentieth century until present day is described.
