The purpose of this research work is twofold. The first problem it attempts to address is the inference of regulators that control the traffic (i.e. traffic signs, traffic lights) for enriching maps with new features. The second is related with how we can assist the drivers by communicating the previously mined information in the context of driving safety. As data sources, we use in-car sensors...

Isolated, gigantic tin clusters of 56 atoms are discovered in the ternary compound Ba(16)Na(204)Sn(310) (cubic, F(-)43m, Z = 1, a = 25.2041(8) A) made by direct fusion of the elements at 800 degrees C. The cluster, made of four face-fused pentagonal dodecahedra, has 36 pentagonal faces and 90 edges, and resembles a concave fullerene "dented" at four places. It is made of three- and four-bonded ...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of different kind of car trajectories on LiDAR scans. In fact, LiDAR scanning speeds are considerably slower than car speeds introducing distortions. We propose a method to overcome this issue as well as new metrics based on CAN bus data. Our results suggest that the vehicle trajectory should be taken into account when building 3D large-scale maps from a...

A detailed physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions of alizarin red S - tin (II) chloride, has been thoroughly investigated by extensively exploring the effect of pH, concentration and temperature on the optimal conditions for the formation of tin (II)-alizarin red S (ARS-Sn II) complex. UV-Vis spectra, electrical conductivity and pH method were also used to characterize the final produc...

Two dimensional nanostructures of group IV elements have attracted a great deal of attention because of their fundamental and technological applications. A graphene-like single layer of tin atoms, commonly called stanene, has recently been predicted to behave like a quantum spin Hall insulator. Here we report the atomic structure, stability and electron transport properties of stanene stabilize...
