Factual approach for tropical forest parameters measurement and monitoring: future option with a focus on synergetic use of airborne and terrestrial lidar technologies by Bazezew, Muluken N., Hussin, Yousif A., Kloosterman, Evert H., M. Hasmadi, Ismail

“…This approach contributes to the development of efficient techniques for forest monitoring systems and bears the potential to extend the modelling options from remote sensing data to understory layer trees.…”

Autism narratives in Singapore by Ho, Melissa Yun Ling

“…Examining Singaporean autism narratives allows us insight into the ways in which dominant global discourses about autism are negotiated in local contexts; narratives are shaped by their socio-cultural contexts and examining those from Singapore, a globalised and multicultural, yet socially conservative city-state, enables us to understand the ways in which such multiple discourses come to bear upon individual narratives. Given that these narratives have, in turn, the potential to shape cultural discourses, and having shown through close literary analysis some effects of existing stereotypes and discourses, I argue for the urgency and importance of attending to narrative ethics in the production of autism narratives in Singapore.…”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”
