Power system is a highly interconnected nonlinear system that needs optimal and accurate control for continuous operation. Large power transfer through long transmission line between different electrical areas, stressed system and adverse interaction between local controllers, may give rise to slow frequency inter-area oscillations. The inter-area modes may not be visible from local measurement...

Based on topological analysis, an automatic detection method of residential area change is presented in this paper. Firstly, we demonstrated the importance of extracting residential area in remote sensing images accurately and automatically. Then, it is found that the old vector of the same region even at different time is useful to obtain the train samples. By applying old vector, we classifie...

Rice is one of the staple foods for more than three billion people worldwide. Rice paddies accounted for approximately 11.5% of the World's arable land area during 2012. Rice provided ~19% of the global dietary energy in recent times and its annual average consumption per capita was ~65 kg during 2010-2011. Therefore, rice area mapping and forecasting its production is important for food securi...

Clinical investigations have suggested that the defects in SPECT images of a free fatty acid analog, I-123 beta-methyliodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) may indicate the ischemic risk area. To elucidate whether I-123 BMIPP can indicate the area at risk of ischemia, ex-vivo autoradiography was performed in rats whose left coronary artery was occluded for 60 min and then reperfused. I-123 BMIP...

Retrieval of eco-hydrological variables/parameters from the orld’s cold and arid regions using remote sensing is more chalenging compared to other regions, and less research work on uantitative remote sensing has been carried out in these specific egions. This is because: (1) Cold and arid regions are most likely o be located in theworld’s remote and relatively under-developed reas, where conve...

We administered a questionnaire to 5th grade medical students to examine the effect of community-based clinical practice on their attitudes to remote area medicine and their course after the graduation. Data from 192 students were obtained. The intensity of students' attitudes was estimated by using visual analogue scale. The intensities of the interest and a sense of fulfillment in remote area...

Remote Sensing Application Centre (RSAC) has been working on monitoring the main crop cultivated areas as operational task and research project for several years.The main problems is that the time and features of background data used in sampling maybe produce system errors. The sampling method called stratified sampling adopted by RSAC is also used in this study. But there is an important diffe...

Hardware and software lockups pose serious problems for the deployment, use, and maintenance of remotely deployed PCs. They require on-site human intervention, which can yield excessive downtime and unavailability. The best way to cope with this issue is to introduce a mechanism that enables a remote hardware reset, irrespective of a remote machine’s hardware or software state. We have develope...

This paper explores the possibility of generating visual expressions in a highly interactive environment on the basis of hand movements and acceleration. A new method for displaying visualization is presented. This method is known as hybrid raster-laser projection; in this method two projections are combined to create a final visual. A Wii Remote Controller was used to capture a participant’s h...

We aimed to develop a micro-robot that can crawl on contact surfaces in biological environments. The prototype chassis of this micro-bot consists of a lipid membrane that encapsulates and bonds micro-sized magnetic particles. By applying a rotating magnetic field, we hope to obtain a micro-crawler robot. In this report, we describe our observations of the rotational movement of liposomes (10–60...
