Developing a tongue coating index for Traditional Chinese Medicine by Choy, Meng Xuan

“…Approach 1, where L-a-b values of each tongue region were compared with those of the tongue tip, and Approach 2, where L-a-b values of each tongue region were compared with those of the ideal tongue color (Pink). Results obtained show that Approach 1 was more consistent with visual perception of post-corrected tongue images in the database. …”

Ecosystem productivity has a stronger influence than soil age on surface soil carbon storage across global biomes by Plaza, César, García-Palacios, Pablo, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Barquero, Jesús, Bastida, Felipe, Png, Kenny Guochen, Rey, Ana, Bardgett, Richard D., Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel

“…Yet, variations in the proportions of free light (unprotected) and mineral-associated (protected) carbon as soil develops in contrasting ecosystems are poorly constrained. Here, we studied 16 long-term chronosequences from six continents and found that the ecosystem type is more important than soil age (centuries to millennia) in explaining the proportion of unprotected and mineral-associated carbon fractions in surface soils across global biomes. …”

Flow network models for online scheduling real-time tasks on multiprocessors by Cho, Hyeonjoong, Easwaran, Arvind

“…However, the previous works have limitations, for example, that they are classified as offline scheduling techniques since they establish a flow network model or an LP problem considering a very long time interval. In this study, we propose how to construct the flow network model for online scheduling periodic real-time tasks on multiprocessors. …”
