In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...

Today, in the era of industrial expansion developing countries, Republic Serbia strives to maintain required level progress and join European Union. On this path transition, it is necessary use comparative advantages relation countries region, but also EU member states. Analysing available data, can be established that an important advantage lies agricultural sector. The aim paper point out men...

The emerging field of Evolutionary Computation (EC), inspired by neo-Darwinian principles (e.g. natural selection, mutation, etc. ), offers developmental psychologists a wide array of mathematical tools for simulating ontogenetic processes. In this brief review; I begin by highlighting three of the approaches that EC researchers employ (Artificial Life, evolutionary robotics and comparative sto...

This work presents a comparative study of the usage of compositional and annotational approaches in the modularization of software process lines. In our comparative study, an Open-UP based software process line extracted from three existing projects are modelled and implemented using the compositional and annotative approaches with the main aim to address a systematic variability management and...

Techniques for the quantitation of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry (MS) are reviewed. A range of labeling processes is discussed, including metabolic, enzymatic, and chemical labeling, and techniques that can be employed for comparative and absolute quantitation are presented. Advantages and drawbacks of the techniques are discussed, and suggestions for the appropriate uses of the me...
