Launched in 1996, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) carries two types of mapping equipments: Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) and Mar Orbiter Camera (MOC). MOLA collects accurate laser altimetry data over the Mars surface, while MOC acquires high resolution images. In the process of MOLA registration to MOC images, a certain systematic shift was reported in previous studies. This shift may possibly...

Here we explored nonverbal actions women use to flirt competitively against each other for the purposes of accessing a mate. We also investigated perceived effectiveness these competitive flirting actions. Using act nomination, Study 1 (n = 91) yielded 11 (eye contact with man, dancing in his line sight, smiling at him, touching giggling jokes, butting between woman and showing distaste her, br...

This paper proposes a quasi-isotropic hybrid dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) and bow-tie patch with harmonics suppression. The suggested consists of DRA, patch, microstrip seventh-order Chebyshev low-pass filter. By loading on the designed pattern is realized. filter was applied to feed line, were reduced in section separate operating band remove generated by proposed antenna. simulated S11 ...

When the dimensionality of dataset increases slightly, the number of skyline points increases dramatically as it is usually unlikely for a point to perform equally good in all dimensions. When the dimensionality is very high, almost all points are skyline points. Extract interesting skyline points in high dimensional space automatically is therefore necessary. From our experiences, in order to ...

The purpose of this project is to test High Resolution Stereoscopic (HRS) data of SPOT5. This project is done in the framework of the “HRS study Team” international test, supported by ISPRS-CNES. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was derived from the HRS data and was evaluated by using a 3D reference data set. The study site for HRS data is located in Manosque, France. It is a countryside lands...

Background A doctor’s competence and professionalism is often judged on the basis of attire. Our Lady of Lourdes (OLOL) is a leading Irish hospital in the implementation of Bare Below the Elbows (BBTE) policy, however surgical attire is not standardised and there is great variability in attire worn on wards. We aimed to evaluate patients attitude towards surgeons attire in OLOL.   Methods A pro...

Recently, a car employs various built-in sensors such as a speedometer, odometer, accelerometer and angular rate sensor for safety and maintenance. These sensory data can be provided in real time through a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. In addition, image sequences can be provided from various cameras mounted to the car, such as built-in front and around view monitoring cameras. We thus pro...

Generation and distribution of electric energy with good reliability and quality is very important in power system operation and control. This is achieved by Automatic Generation Control (AGC). In an interconnected power system, as the load demand varies randomly, the area frequency and tie-line power interchange also vary. The objective of Load Frequency Control (LFC) is to minimize the transi...
