Improving the model-based predictions of plant species under a projected climate is essential to better conserve our biodiversity. However, mechanistic link between climatic variation and response at level remains relatively poorly understood not accurately developed in Dynamic Vegetation Models (DVMs). We investigated acclimation Cedrus atlantica (Atlas cedar), an endemic endangered from north...

We inspect stroke sets from CEDAR digits in LCM UpWrite space.

We look at merging colinear strokes extracted from the perimeters of CEDAR digits.

Body size, age composition, and male body depth were compared among five Lake Washington sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) populations. Two of the populations (Bear and Cottage creeks) were indigenous to the watershed and three (Cedar River, Issaquah Creek, and Pleasure Point) were non-native (from Baker Lake, Washington). To isolate the relative contributions of habitat type and ancestral re...

Survival after freezing was measured for seeds and germinants of four seedlots each of interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii complex), lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Donn). Effects of eight seed treatments on post-freezing survival of seeds and germinants were tested: dry, ...

BACKGROUND Despite successes in preventing and treating HIV, Indigenous people in Canada continue to face disproportionately high rates of HIV infection. Programs that support healing from lifetime trauma, support connection to culture, and reduce drug-related harms are critical to preventing HIV among young Indigenous people who use drugs. The Cedar Project WelTel mHealth intervention proposed...

The behavior of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) pollens in an urban area was examined through the measurements of the dispersion characteristics at the various sampling locations in both outdoor and indoor environments. Airborne pollens were counted continuously for three months during the Japanese cedar pollen and Japanese cypress seasons in 20...

We mask digits by taking the convex hull of their strokes.

This paper deals with the mechanical aspects of robot vision and focuses on the design and implementation of a high-performance system. The system is called CeDAR (Cable Drive Active vision Robot). As part of the research at the Robotic Systems Laboratory (RSL) to develop real-world vision systems, CeDAR is designed for speed and accuracy through its novel use of cables in zerobacklash transmis...
