Densely packed housing makes urban areas vulnerable to overheating, pollution and dangerous wind gusts. The effects of climate change can aggravate these problems, but we can also work to prevent them. This can be done by simulating microclimates.Densely packed housing makes urban areas vulnerable to overheating, pollution and dangerous wind gusts.

Machine learning models can help to solve several real-world problems faster and more efficiently. One among these problems involves synthesizing speech for both animated characters and human speakers based on the movements of their lips.Machine learning models can help to solve several real-world problems faster and more efficiently.

This month marks the 30th anniversary of a film that changed cinema forever. 1993’s “Jurassic Park” used pioneering computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg’s adaption of the novel of the same name.This month marks the 30th anniversary of a film that changed cinema forever. 1993’s “Jurassic Park” used pioneering computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg’s adaption of the novel of the same name.[#item_full_content]

Vehicle color recognition (VCR) is vital in intelligent traffic management and criminal investigation assistance. However, the existing vehicle color data sets only cover 13 classes, which cannot meet the current actual demand. Besides, although much effort is devoted to VCR, it suffers from the problem of class imbalance in data sets.Vehicle color recognition (VCR) is vital in intelligent traffic management and criminal investigation assistance.

Block ciphers, a branch of modern cryptography, are playing a more prominent role in protecting information security as 5G technology develops. Although encryption algorithms of the traditional Feistel structure have great advantages in terms of consistent encryption and decryption, they have poor diffusion effects.Block ciphers, a branch of modern cryptography, are playing a more prominent role in protecting information security as 5G technology develops.
