Abstract. Observations from geostationary satellites can provide spatially continuous coverage at continental scales with high spatial and temporal resolution. Because of this, they are commonly used to complement ground-based precipitation measurements, whose is often more limited. We present Hydronn, a neural-network-based, near-real-time retrieval for Brazil based on visible infrared (Vis–IR...

the present study was undertaken to investigate the beneficial effects of widely-prescribed lipid lowering drugs, pitavastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-a (hmg-coa) reductase inhibitors in cognitive dysfunctions of mice. intra-cerebroventricular (icv)-streptozocin-(stz)- and high-fat diet (hfd)-induced amnesia served as interoceptive memory models where a...

Common measures of term importance in information retrieval (IR) rely on counts of term frequency; rare terms receive higher weight in document ranking than common terms receive. However, realistic scenarios yield additional information about terms in a collection. Of interest in this paper is the temporal behavior of terms as a collection changes over time. We propose capturing each term’s col...

Suppose a database containing M records is replicated across N servers, and a user wants to privately retrieve one record by accessing the servers such that identity of the retrieved record is secret against any up to T servers. A scheme designed for this purpose is called a T -private information retrieval (T PIR) scheme. Three indexes are concerned for PIR schemes: (1) rate, indicating the am...
