Color image processing is widely used in Intelligent Transport System, but seldom used in recognition of roads and slopes collapse. The application can reduce time and efforts. And the roads and slopes segmentation is the first and key step of the recognition system, which is a challenging and difficult problem. One of the problems is the presence of different types of roads and slopes. In this...

Variations in certain slopes of the carotid pulse which exist among normal subjects, patients with aortic valvular disease, and those with hypertrophic subaortic stenosis were examined. Records from 256 subjects were quantified with computer technics. The externally recorded volume pulses were related to simultaneously recorded brachial artery pressures (cuff); thus the slopes are expressed in ...

On their foraging excursions, desert ants (Cataglyphis fortis) navigate by means of path integration, exhibiting high precision even in undulating terrain. To avoid errors in their home vector the ants must measure the slopes of ascents and descents in their itinerary. This information is necessary to convert the distances actually walked on the slopes into the ground distance, which is the cru...

We describe a set of ∆ − 1 slopes that are universal for 1-bend planar drawings of planar graphs of maximum degree ∆ ≥ 4; this establishes a new upper bound of ∆ − 1 on the 1-bend planar slope number. By universal we mean that every planar graph of degree ∆ has a planar drawing with at most one bend per edge and such that the slopes of the segments forming the edges belong to the given set of s...

PURPOSE To describe and evaluate a computer model that simulates longitudinal visual field data. METHODS A computer model was designed using factors that influence thresholds of normal and glaucomatous visual fields. The simulation model was used to quantify the effects of fluctuation on the outcomes of pointwise linear regression by comparison with simulated gold standard data with no variab...

Risk-based slope stabilization planning integrates the failure probability and the failure consequence systematically and shows promise for use in the practice. This paper attempts to develop a risk-based methodology for stabilization planning for deteriorating soil cut slopes. First, a framework of risk-based stabilization planning for slopes is proposed. Then the time-dependent reliability of...

We show that the slopes of the U5 operator acting on slopes of 5adic overconvergent modular forms of weight k with primitive Dirichlet character χ of conductor 25 are given by either

in this research the productivity and cost of komatsu d60 bulldozer in earth working operations of secondary forest road was studied in lolet forests, lied in one of the tajan river watersheds. the daily work elements of the machine including productive time, unproductive time, technical, operational and personal delays for 12 days and in two slopes of 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 percents were invest...

The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of slope aspect on the response of snowpack to climate warming in the Pyrenees. For this purpose, data available from five automatic weather stations were used to simulate the energy and mass balance of snowpack, assuming different magnitudes of an idealized climate warming (upward shifting of 1, 2 and 3 °C the temperature series). Snow energy and...
