This paper presents an Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) system for laser radar (LADAR) imagery, designed to classify objects at multiple levels of discrimination (target detection, classification, and recognition) from single LADAR images. Segmentation is performed in both the range and non-range LADAR channels and results combined to increase object detection rate or decrease false positive ...

In this paper, we proposed the Survival Language, a pattern language to support survival when a catastrophic earthquake occurs. This proposal comes from the problem that the tragedies of earthquakes are repeated, because knowledge and wisdom on how to prepare for an earthquake and what to do during an earthquake have not been passed down sufficiently. This paper presented the four patterns of t...

The communication environment within organizations provides multiple opportunities for informational retrieval throughout the day. While previous research has explored media choice from a sender’s perspective, little research has explored the choices receivers or targets make in attending to messages and information streams. This paper explores the process that targets use to evaluate messages ...

In this paper we consider the detection of a moving point target using Along-Track (AT) InSAR systems. We consider two cases: conventionally and one bit coded raw data. The performance of the system is evaluated by comparing the probabilities of false alarm and detection.

This article investigates the conceptual and methodological challenges to develop a set of baseline indicators for South African food security targets. A food security target is a well-defined and measurable goal to reduce the numbers of people who lack enough food of the right quality to live healthy lives. To derive baseline indicators for household food security, the following question is as...

UNLABELLED In an endeavor to screen bioactive compounds present in vegetables with effective mechanism using in silico method lead us to develop a vegetable phytochemicals and their target database (VPTD). The VPTD is a unique bioinformatics resource that compiles information about phytochemicals from vegetables and their mechanism. VPTD contains 2496 phytochemicals from 27 vegetables, their 3D...
