CARAVAN - A GLOBAL COMMUNITY DATASET FOR LARGE-SAMPLE HYDROLOGY

Caravan - A global community dataset for large-sample hydrology

Abstract High-quality datasets are essential to support hydrological science and modeling.Several CAMELS (Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-sample Studies) datasets exist for specific countries or regions, however these datasets lack standardization, which makes global studies difficult.This paper introduces a dataset called Caravan (a

High-Precision Indoor Visible Light Positioning Using Modified Momentum Back Propagation Neural Network with Sparse Training Point

In this letter, we propose an indoor visible light positioning technique using a Modified Momentum Back-Propagation (MMBP) algorithm based on received sleeve signal strength (RSS) with sparse training data set.Unlike other neural network algorithms that require a large number of training data points to locate accurately, we have realized high-preci

Does prison labour rehabilitate, punish, discipline or exploit a traumatised and racialised population in Australian and American prisons?

This article describes the incarcerated population in Australia and the US as being comprised of peo-ple primarily from racialised and marginalised communities, of whom many have histories of trauma.It is argued that their pre-existing trauma is compounded by trauma arising from both deprivation of liberty in and of itself, and their treatment Socc

Preventing Foodborne Illness: Clostridium botulinum

Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism.Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, slightly curved, motile, anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium that produces heat-resistant endospores.These endospores, which are very resistant to a number of Glycine environmental stresses such as heat and high acid, can become activated in anaerobic e

Rorty on Language and Social Practices

Richard Rorty wrote on many occasions that called the linguistic turn was an attempt to keep philosophy an armchair discipline.“The idea - he said - was to mark off a space for a priori knowledge into which neither sociology nor history nor art nor natural science could intrude”.Linguistic analysis, in short, has become with the passing of time
