Infrastructure 3D Object Detection is a pivotal component of Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperated Autonomous Driving (VICAD). As turning objects account for high proportion traffic at intersections, anchor-free representation in the bird’s-eye view (BEV) more suitable roadside detection. In this work, we propose CetrRoad, simple yet effective center-aware detector with transformer-based detection ...

Discovering the malicious or vulnerable anchor node is an essential problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In wireless sensor networks, anchor nodes are the nodes that know its current location. Neighbouring nodes or non-anchor nodes calculate its location coordinate (or location reference) with the help of anchor nodes. Ingenuous localization is not possible in the presence of a cheating ...

Introduction: Thyroid gland fibrosarcomas are extremely rare tumors, and only very few cases have been described in the literature. There are no set recommendations along with follow-ups regarding the treatment of these tumors. Moreover, the prognosis is poor with a very short life expectancy.   Case Report: We present an 81-year-old patient who was suffering from increa...

background: considering differences in head size and shape of different equine breeds, biometric parameters can be an attribute to a particular race. objectives: the purpose of the present paper is to give a numerical definition of morphological characteristics of head region of the darehshori horse. methods: twenty mature darehshori horses were studied biometrically. the ear length, ears dista...

Anchor plates may be made of steel plates, precast concrete slabs, poured concrete slabs, timber sheets and so forth. In this study, uplift resistance of strip anchor plates embedded in cohesion less soils was assessed by conducting previous works. The previous experimental works mentioned that behavior of horizontal strip anchor plates embedded in cohesion less soil has been assessed by small-...

Hypersensitivity to suture anchor is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case in which hypersensitivity to suture anchor was strongly suspected. The right rotator cuff of a 50-year-old woman was repaired with a metal suture anchor. Three weeks after the surgery, she developed erythema around her face, trunk, and hands, accompanied by itching. Infection was unlikely because no abnormalities wer...

Differential item functioning (DIF) indicates the violation of the invariance assumption for instance in models based on item response theory (IRT). For item-wise DIF analysis using IRT, a common metric for the item parameters of the groups that are to be compared (e.g. for the reference and the focal group) is necessary. In the Rasch model, therefore, the same linear restriction is imposed in ...

Web archives preserve the fast changing web. While we can archive the web pages, the popularity of queries in the past has usually not been preserved. Previous studies have observed the importance of anchor text for improving the quality of text search, and have shown that anchor text is similar to real user queries and documents titles. Other studies have shown that documents titles are simila...

This document describes a runtime local mobility anchor assignment functionality and corresponding mobility options for Proxy Mobile IPv6. The runtime local mobility anchor assignment takes place during a Proxy Binding Update and a Proxy Binding Acknowledgement message exchange between a mobile access gateway and a local mobility anchor. The runtime local mobility anchor assignment functionalit...
