Vehicle License Plate Recognition is a vital component in Intelligent Transportation Systems. In this paper, VLPR system is proposed. Considering that License Plate Recognition is the most important and difficult part in VLPR systems, we present an effective license plate recognition method based on K Mean and Neural Networks. This Paper focuses mainly on two parts first is recognition and seco...

The energy of a Von Kármán circular plate is described by a nonlocal nonconvex one-dimensional functional depending on the thickness ε. Here we perform the asymptotic analysis via Γ-convergence as the parameter ε goes to zero.

OBJECTIVES National Health Service (NHS) Direct provides 24/7 expert telephone-based healthcare information and advice to the public in England. However, limited research has explored the reasons to why calls are made on behalf of young people, as such this study aimed to examine call rate (CR) patterns in younger people to enable a better understanding of the needs of this population in Englan...

During development, different cell types must undergo distinct morphogenetic programs so that tissues develop the right dimensions in the appropriate place. In early eye morphogenesis, retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) move first towards the midline, before turning around to migrate out into the evaginating optic vesicles. Neighbouring forebrain cells, however, converge rapidly and then remain at...

Common finite element programs for plate bending analysis are complicated and limited by the common plate theories. Such programs are usually not user-friendly for designers to implement. Lately, Hou Man et al. from the University of New South Wales has developed a technique for unified 3D plate bending analysis using scaled boundary finite element analysis, which promises to have little restri...

An eigenfunction-matching method is developed for the problem of linear water-wave scattering by a circular floating porous elastic plate, and a coupled boundary-element and finiteelement method is developed for the problem in which the plate is of arbitrary shape. The methods are shown to produce the same solutions for a circular plate, and their convergence properties are established. The imp...

Links between extreme wet conditions over East Africa and Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures (SST) are investigated during the core of the so-called short rain season in October–November. During periods of enhanced East African rainfall, Indian Ocean SST anomalies reminiscent of a tropical Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) event are observed. Ensemble simulations with an atmospheric general circulat...

The solution for a simply supported many-sided polygonal plate does not agree with that for the corresponding circular plate. This paper describes the earlier work of Rao and Rajaiah on polygonal plates and then explains why best convergence of series solutions occurs when the boundary conditions are denned as w = Vw> = 0. Notation D — operator in original problems, D = operator adjoint to D, F...
