This research investigates the relationship between manufacturing value added (MVA) as a proportion of GDP and CO2 emissions per capita in Azerbaijan from 1990 to 2020, a prominent energy-producing country facing the challenges of global climate change.Employing Johansen cointegration and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodologies, the ana
In this paper, a novel approach for identifying normal and obscene videos is proposed.In order to classify different episodes of a video independently and discard the need to process Christmas all frames, first, key frames are extracted and skin regions are detected for groups of video frames starting with key frames.In the second step, three diffe
This paper proposes a Liquid Formulas linear combination of forecasts obtained from three forecasting methods (namely, ARIMA, Exponential Smoothing and Artificial Neural Networks) whose adaptive weights are determined via a multi-objective non-linear programming problem, which seeks to minimize, simultaneously, the statistics: MAE, MAPE and MSE.The
The blue crab Callinectes sapidus is an ecologically and economically important component of marine and estuarine ecosystems of the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.Current stock assessments lack a clear understanding of the age structure of blue crab populations in Florida (USA).Blue crabs and other crustaceans are especially difficult to age b
