The paper describes a heur is t ic scene descr ip t ion system. This system accepts as input a scene represented as a l ine drawing. Based on a set of known object models, the program attempts to determine the ident i ty and location of each object viewed. The most s igni f icant feature of the system is i t s a b i l i t y to deal with imperfect input data. This a b i l i t y appears essential...

Thelohanellus infection of the scales of the European wild carp Cyprinus carp10 carplo L 1s reported for the first time in Europe Comparative morphological and histological f i nd~ngs are descnbed Plasmodia and spores found In the fins of cultured common carp fingerlings and those detected in the scales of 2to >4-yr-old European wild carp belong to the same species The morphological chardcteris...

Many useful test case construction methods that are based on important aspects of the specifcation have been proposed in the literature. A comprehensive test suite thus obtained is often very large and yet is non-redundant with respect to the aspects ident$ed from the specif cation. This paper addresses the problem of selecting a subset of test cases from such a test suite. We propose the use o...

This paper analyzes various cases of consonantal decomposition in interlanguage mapping within the framework Optimality Theory. During analyses, we argue that preservation (major) place property takes most crucial role segmental mapping. As for Japanese adaptation /f/ which is adapted as <h> (orthographically at least) lacking labiality, posit this fricative /ɸ/ [1] preserving labiality a...

One important facet of common-sense reason­ ing is the ability to draw default conclusions about the state of the world. Such an abil­ ity enables one to assume, for example, that a given bird flies in the absence of information to the contrary. One drawback of the circum­ scriptive approach to common-sense reasoning has been its inability to produce default con­ clusions about equality. For ex...

This paper presents the application of IDENT Graphical User Interface of MATLAB to estimate the thermal properties of building components from outdoors dynamic testing, imposing appropriate physical constraints and assuming linear and time invariant parametric models. Theory is briefly described to provide the background for a first understanding of the used models. The relationship between com...

It is general ly accepted that problem solving systems require a weal th of domain specific knowledge for effect ive performance in complex domains. This report takes the view that al l domain specific knowledge should be expresaed in a knowledge base. Wi th this in mind, the ideas and techniques from problem solving and knowledge base research are reviewed and outstanding problems are ident i ...

Field strength measu rements were conducted in the mov ing trai n in the UHF band in the urban and sub-urban regions of western India. The observed signal levels were compared wi th those predicted from methods like Hata, Wal fish and Bertoni, Uni form theory of diffract ion, Ibrahim and Parsons, Egli and Blomquist and Ladell and suitable methods were ident ified. These studies will be use ful ...
