Barrier coverage is an important issue in wireless sensor networks, which guarantees to detect any intruder attempting to cross a barrier or penetrating a protected region monitored by sensors. However, the barrier coverage problem in wireless camera sensor networks (WCSNs) is different from that in scalar sensor networks. In this paper, based on (k, ω)-angle coverage, we study the minimum (k, ...

in a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the earth's magnetic field measured by three-axis magnetometers (tam). however, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...

primary information about different methods of vegetation sampling is important to researchers to decide about their sampling. in this study we applied five distance methods (closest individual, nearest neighbor, random pairs, point-centered quarter and angle orderd) to estimate plant density in three vegetation types including artemisia sieberi, juncus littoralis and punica granatum in mazanda...

The established group chain acceptance sampling plans (GChSP-1) functions with five criteria, while the modified of (MGChSP-1) operates three criteria. Since criteria affect performances plans, therefore, this article suggests a balanced approach by introducing new (NGChSP-1), where it four NGChSP-1 is developed using minimum angle method which caters for producer’s and consumer’s risks. genera...

In an ocularly healthy population, decimal visual acuities range from 1 to 3. We wondered how this spread can be understood. Using a maximum likelihood adaptive procedure, "visual acuity" was measured in a healthy population with four stimulus sets: unblurred Landolt Cs and Cs blurred with a Gaussian of width sigma = 2.12', 4.24' and 8.48'. A simple model based on scale invariance of the visual...
