Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) has many applications in traffic systems (highway electronic toll collection, red light violation enforcement, border and customs checkpoints, etc.). License Plate Recognition is an effective form of AVI systems. In this study, a smart and simple algorithm is presented for vehicle’s license plate recognition system. The proposed algorithm consists of three...

This paper is about the study of B-FQI, an Approximated Value Iteration (AVI) algorithm that exploits a boosting procedure to estimate the action-value function in reinforcement learning problems. B-FQI is an iterative off-line algorithm that, given a dataset of transitions, builds an approximation of the optimal action-value function by summing the approximations of the Bellman residuals acros...

Türk halk kültüründe önemli işleve sahip hayvanlardan birisi geyiktir. Geyik, inanış ve anlatılarında daha çok türeyişin, ekolojik evrenin, saflığın temizliğin sembolü olarak kullanılırken, mitolojik geçmişi göz önüne alınarak Orta Asya Anadolu toplulukları arasında kutsallık kazanır. Simgesel boyutta geyiğe yüklenen bu onu dokunulmaz kılmaktadır. Sınırları ihlal edilen doğanın korunması kalkın...

The problem of optimally locating Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) sensors on a traffic network for travel time estimation has been topic growing interests in recent years. Even though great progresses have made AVI sensor deployment path-level estimation, very few contributions exist the literatures that address link-level an urban network. In this paper, considering link two sub-problem...

Arterial stiffness contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, relationship between arterial and exercise tolerance in CVD patients with preserved ejection fraction (pEF) those reduced EF (rEF) is unclear. We enrolled 358 who participated cardiac rehabilitation underwent cardiopulmonary testing at Juntendo University Hospital. After excluding 195 had undergone open ...

When he catheter was pulled back, an iatrogenic ventricular eptal defect (VSD) with a clear left-to-right shunt was etected (Fig. 2, Video 2). TA-AVI was then performed ithout any other complications. One year later the patient as asymptomatic a...
