We provide full parameters and additional qualitative results of our curved symmetry detector (SRFSym) and symmetryconstrained segmentation (SymSegGC) over all four datasets: 1) SYMMAX-300 (SYMSEG-300), 2) BSD-Parts, 3) WHD and 4) NY-roads, described in the main paper.

PURPOSE This study evaluated the relationship of living near to main roads to allergic diseases, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic sensitization, and lung function in Korean children. METHODS A total of 5,443 children aged 6-14 years from 33 elementary schools in 10 cities during 2005-2006 were included in a baseline survey of the Children's Health and Environmental Research. We asse...

The occurrence of transgenic herbicide-resistant oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in ruderal (non-crop disturbed) areas has not been investigated previously in Canada. The primary objective of this study was to document their occurrence in two main ruderal areas (along railways and roads) in the province of Saskatchewan, where half of all oilseed rape is grown, and at the port of Vancouver, Britis...

When driving on lower-category Dutch rural roads without any delineation, drivers are likely to drift off the road with their right-side wheels, thus incurring damage to the pavement edge or even leading to accidents. In two experiments, two types of road-edge delineation, with continuous or dashed edge lines, were compared with two control roads without lines or with only a dashed line on the ...

Since 1994, TRL in collaboration with a number of road authorities and consultant partners have been engaged in extensive studies of the performance of low volume sealed roads within Southern Africa (Greening and Gourley, 1999). The roads included in service primary and secondary roads with ages varying from thirty years old to relatively new roads and specially constructed experimental section...

Congestion roads can cause many unwelcome results like making people late to work; deliveries do not arrive on time and more. One way to tackle this annoyance is letting the driver know which roads are congested, so they will be able not to go through them. This paper suggests a fast computerized method of concluding which roads are congested and which ones are vacant by automatic analyzing of ...

Roads have been associated with decreased reproductive success and biodiversity in avian communities and increased physiological stress in adult birds. Alternatively, roads may also increase food availability and reduce predator pressure. Previous studies have focused on adult birds, but nestlings may also be susceptible to the detrimental impacts of roads. We examined the effects of proximity ...

Aggregated network level modeling and control of traffic in urban networks have recently gained a lot of interest due to unpredictability of travel behaviors and high complexity of physical modeling in microscopic level. Recent research has shown the existence of well-defined Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams (MFDs) relating average flow and density in homogeneous networks. The concept of MFD al...
