We evaluate the probability to befriend by comparing the number of courses shared by students with the probability to be assigned in the same classroom randomly based on curriculum constraints. A minimum of courses taken in common is used as a criterion to identify students belonging to a tribe of friends. The main findings are that students in tribes over perform other students by about half point of GPA, and are dropping and repeating fewer courses. Considering student without friends, we measured the impact of the commuting distance on GPA and drop off rate: students with very low GPA and high drop off are mostly students with significantly higher commuting time.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int.

BLOM is intended for fuel saving and carbon dioxide emission reduction in both upper-level and lower-level model with intelligent transport system. Traffic signal schemes are optimised for minimising total fuel consumption passing through a road intersection in unit time in the upper-level model. At the same time, traffic signal information data are sent to the lowerlevel model in which vehicle motion states are optimised for greener transportation. Three algorithms include hybrid genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimisation in upper-level model with hybrid genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimisation in lower-level model (GA-PSO/GA-PSO), GA in upper-level model with PSO in lower-level model (GA/PSO) and GA in both level model (GA/GA) are realised to compare and improve the performance of the model.

In this paper, an effective fog image acquisition algorithm based on big data analysis is proposed in the big data environment, and single image defogging algorithm based on histogram equalisation and dark channel prior methods is proposed. The transmission and air light of the fog image need to be estimated by the dark channel prior theory methods, and then clear images can be received after defogging and keep the original colour. The experimental results show that the image by fog removal dark channel prior method can get clear images and keep the original colour, the treatment effect is better than that of the histogram equalisation method.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Nowadays, there have been many literatures on the category of reviews category or ranking for public. However, they only satisfy common preferences, and ignore personalised preferences of individual users. In view of this phenomenon, this paper is trying to put forward a ranking method for individual preferences. It begins with collecting the rules of user preferences by showing reviews to them to let them mark the reviews they like. Then it combines the common rules with user personalised rules to get the range of features. Finally, after calculating the optimal solution of features, the paper strives to structure a ranking model to rank reviews with the set of optimal solution.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Systematic layout planning (SLP) method is firstly used to analyse functional domains to construct a comprehensive correlation chart of the functional domains according to certain weights. Manhattan distance and circuitous path are used to express the distances among the functional domains and to construct a double-object function with minimised total trucking expense and maximised total integrated relations. In the practical application of R. Muther line chart method, the proposed method can get the feasible scheme of layout of functional areas, and it has good application value.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Three of the considered implementations, developed using the Eigen C++ library, Intel MKL, and MATLAB are executed on a multi-core CPU. The remaining two implementations are processed on a GPU and employ MATLAB's Parallel Computing Toolbox and Nvidia CUDA augmented with the cuSolver library. Computation times are compared using randomly generated single- and double-precision floating-point matrices. The experiments for the LU decomposition show that the two GPU implementations offer best performance for matrices that can fit into the GPU global memory. For larger LU decomposition problem instances, Intel MKL on the CPU is found to be the fastest approach. Furthermore, Intel MKL also proves to be the fastest method for computing QR decomposition for all considered sizes of matrices.","PeriodicalId":360794,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.
