Laser scanning techniques, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), produce three-dimensional data representing the real world, which may provide significant information for Building Information Models (BIM).These processes produce 3D point clouds, which require classification before being used in various applications such as structura

Attempting to create greater understanding of the political dynamics that influence domestic disaster relief and management (DRM) in Thailand, this article takes a closer look at these dynamics by outlining the main actors involved in flood-related DRM.It acknowledges the importance of international and military actors but emphasises the role of na

A high required number of interactions with the environment is one of the most important problems in reinforcement learning (RL).To deal with this problem, several data-efficient RL algorithms have been proposed and successfully applied in practice.Unlike Western leathers previous research, that focuses on optimal policy evaluation and policy impro

Hibernation has been selected for increasing survival in harsh climatic environments.Seasonal variability in temperature may push the body temperatures of hibernating animals across boundaries of alternative states between euthermic temperature and torpor temperature, typical of either hibernation or summer dormancy.Nowadays, wearable electronics p
