In Orissa state, India, the DakNet system supports asynchronous Internet communication between an urban hub and rural nodes. DakNet is noteworthy in many respects, not least in how the system leverages existing transport infrastructure. Wi-Fi transceivers mounted on local buses send and receive user data from roadside kiosks, for later transfer to/from the Internet via wireless protocols. This ...

When pedestrians are observed using a view in the urban area, it is often difficult to track them because of the occlusions overlapped by roadside trees, traffic signs, advertising displays, street lamps, or another pedestrians. When multiple views are used for the observation of pedestrians, the state of the occlusion between views may be different. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to tr...

Abstract Roadside trees are distinct component of urban forests, providing benefits to reduce radiation heat and air pollution. However, settlements due overpopulation might affect the abundance roadside trees. Hence, this study was conducted assess species richness diversity in Shah Alam. All with 1-metre height above Section 15 16 were measured identified as referred Landscape Department Alam...

Vehicular multi-hop ad hoc networks (VANETs) are an important technology for future developments of vehicular communication systems. Vehicles are able to exchange information within these networks without the need of installing any infrastructure along the roadside. VANETs can be used to improve the road safety by e.g. warning drivers about accidents in front of the road or to provide Internet ...

It is indeed difficult to locate and evaluate clinical research endeavors related to measurement of change in “Growth Oriented” efforts, as they often lead to “Disasters” in community health programmes. Nevertheless, developmental outcomes in impaired pediatric or adult, rural and urban populations that are affected from cognitive and emotional sequels of acquired mental disorders, need to be e...

3D image mosaicking is useful for 3D visualization of the roadside scene of urban area by projecting 2D images to the 3D planes. When a sequence of images are filmed from a side-looking video camera passing far-range areas, the ghost effect in which same objects appear repeatedly occurs. To suppress such ghost effect, the far-range areas are detected by using the distance between the image fram...

Moose (Alces americanus ) vehicle collisions (MVCs) are an issue throughout the distribution of moose. Many mitigation strategies have been tested and implemented to reduce the number of MVCs, but there have been few empirical analyses of the effectiveness of roadside vegetation cutting. The goal of this study was to determine if roadside vegetation cutting attracted moose into roadside areas t...

BACKGROUND Many argue that prohibition creates more troubles than alternative policies, but fewer than half of American voters support a taxed and regulated market for cannabis. Some oppose a regulated market because of concerns about driving after smoking cannabis. Although a roadside sobriety test for impairment exists, few voters know about it. The widespread use of a roadside sobriety test ...

Environmental pollution is an important issue in metropolitan areas, and roadside trees are directly affected by various sources of to which they exhibit numerous responses. The aim the present study was identify morpho-physio-biochemical attributes maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba L.) American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis growing under two different air quality conditions (roadside with high ...
