Coastal bermudagrass is a promising lignocellulosic feedstock for bioethanol production. It is well suited for the Southeastern United States where it is currently grown for hay production and nutrient management in animal farming operations. Prior experiments have generated sugar and sugar degradation data from the dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of bermudagrass over a range ...

We explore the prospects of predicting emission line features present in galaxy spectra given broad-band photometry alone. There is a general consent that colours, and spectral features, most notably the 4000 Å break, can predict many properties of galaxies, including star formation rates and hence they could infer some of the line properties. We argue that these techniques have great prospects...

Son yıllarda şirketler arası rekabetin artmasıyla beraber aboneliğinden ayrılacak müşterilerin tahmin edilmesi oldukça önemli hale gelmiştir. Müşteri karmaşası analizi, veri madenciliği, makine öğrenmesi ve derin öğrenme gibi alanlarda sıklıkla karşılaşılan analiz çeşitlerinden biridir. Özellikle telekomünikasyon, sigortacılık bankacılık sektörlerde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma da...

The Γ-limit of certain discrete free energy functionals related to the numerical approximation of Ginzburg-Landau models is analysed when the distance h between neighbouring points tends to zero. The main focus lies on cases where there is competition between surface energy and elastic energy. Two discrete approximation schemes are compared, one of them shows a surface energy in the Γ-limit. Fi...
