Relighting techniques often require knowledge about the shape and the reflectance property of a target object and the light environment. The quality of the relighting is highly dependent on the normals accuracy of the object since they are used for the computation of the illumination. We propose a new relighting approach for arbitrary shaped objects with dynamic light environment using an RGB-D...

Process planning plays an important role for ensuring machining quality, reducing production cost, and shortening leading time. Since there are many uncertainty factors for manufacturing resources in a changing manufacturing environment, especially for small batch manufacturing of large scale parts requiring long process planning time, manufacturing companies are facing significant challenges o...

In an urban environment, a multipath propagation is one of the basic phenomena affecting a quality of received signals. This causes dispersions in time and angular domains. Basic parameters describing these dispersions are the rms delay spread and rms angle spread, respectively. The delay spread is related to a frequency of the transmitted signal and the nature of the propagation environment. I...

Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in which maximizing network lifetime is a key challenge. Previous research into the performance of a network in a building environment has been concerned with radio propagation within a single floor. We investigate the link quality distribution to obtain full coverage of signal str...

Many cities in the Global South are structurally different from Northern, particularly American, on which much of urban sociology’s conceptual apparatus has been based. Thus, depicting them terms a standard vocabulary risks imposing an inappropriate way seeing. We need that is able to accommodate their experience. This special issue contributes work building vocabulary. select five keywords soc...

tuberculosis is still one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. besides clinical impact, the disease affects the quality of life (qol) too. with the rise of 21st century, multi-drug-resistant tb (mdr tb) has risen as a significant public health problem due to emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis therapy (att) drugs. this study was planned to analyze the impact of mdrtb on qo...

the study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on external egg qualities of japanese quails. a total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (crd) replicated six times. a factorial arrangement of 3 × 4 × 4 which involves 3 protein levels (15, 20 and 25% crude protein), 4 storage method...
