Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s) are now widely used for the implementation of digital systems, and many commercial architectures are available. Although the literature and data books contain detailed descriptions of these architectures, there is very little information on how the high-level architecture was chosen, and no information on the circuitlevel or physical design of the devices...

Document image matching is the key technique for document image registration and retrieval. In this paper, a new matching method based on document component block list (CBL) is proposed. A document image is ®rstly parsed into a number of component blocks that are de®ned as non-adherent rectangular areas of substantial document contents. Then these blocks are organized as a list, on which severa...

In this paper we present a progressive classification scheme for a document layout recognition system (background, text and images) using three stages. The first stage, preprocessing, extracts statistical information that may be used for background detection and removal. The second stage, a tree based classifier, uses a variable block size and a set of probabilistic rules to classify segmented ...

Core-periphery structure, the arrangement of a network into dense core and sparse periphery, is versatile descriptor various social, biological, technological networks. In practice, different core-periphery algorithms are often applied interchangeably, despite fact that they can yield inconsistent descriptions structure. For example, two most widely used algorithms, k-cores decomposition classi...

Extraction of text regions and individual lines from historic documents is necessary for automatic transcription. We propose extending a CNN-based baseline detection system by adding line height block boundary predictions to the model output, allowing extract more comprehensive layout information. also show that pixel-wise orientation prediction can be used processing with multiple orientations...

Abstract. This paper presents a heuristic building block for wind farm layout optimization algorithms. For each pair of wake-interacting turbines, vector is defined. Its magnitude proportional to the speed deficit waked turbine due waking turbine. direction chosen from inter-turbine, downwind, or crosswind directions. These vectors can be combined all turbines and averaged over resource obtain ...

There are many methods for constructing prediction intervals for differences in observations. This document will explain several of these methods in the context of different models using data from a kiwi yield experiment as an example. 1. KIWI DATA In an experiment (discussed in more detail in class), kiwi yields were measured in a designed experiment. There were three blocks (north, east, and ...

This study was carried out to determine the ranks of 9 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes across eleven environments in Central Anatolia, Turkey, in the 2000-2002 growing seasons. Experimental layout was a randomized complete block design with four replications. Analysis of Non parametric stability revealed that genotypes 4 and 8 were most stable and well adapted across eleven environ...

We introduce a software/hardware scheme called the Field Array Compression Technique (FACT) which reduces cache misses due to recursive data structures. Using a data layout transformation, data with temporal affinity is gathered in contiguous memory, where the recursive pointers and integer fields are compressed. As a result, one cacheblock can capture a greater amount of data with temporal aff...

A visible synchrotron light diagnostic beam line has been designed at the NSLS2 storage ring, using the dipole radiation. The ‘cold-finger’ configuration has been selected to block the central x-rays. Beam power on the first mirror is less than 1W, no water cooling is required for the in-vacuum mirror. The beam line layout and major applications will be discussed in this paper. Two vacuum ports...
