In many multi-camera vision systems the effect of camera locations on the task-specific quality of service is ignored. Researchers in Computational Geometry have proposed elegant solutions for some sensor location problem classes. Unfortunately, these solutions use unrealistic assumptions about the cameras’ capabilities that make these algorithms unsuitable for many real world computer vision a...

The methanolic leaf extract of Thuja occidentalis was evaluated for possible sedative activities in mice. Sedative activity was evaluated by using hole cross, open field, thiopental sodium-induced sleeping time and elevated-plus maze (EPM) tests at 200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg.  The extract decreased the locomotor activity of mice in hole cross, open field and EPM test and showed the remarka...

Coverage is a key and fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks. To provide high quality of service, high coverage ratio of sensor nodes in monitored area should be assured. Coverage holes may lead to routing failure and degrade the quality of service. A novel coverage hole discovery algorithm, VCHDA, is proposed for wireless sensor networks in this paper. The proposed algorithm is based ...

abstract disease incidence and favorable condition on disease severity is evaluated. w. carpophilus isolated of infected orchards. for fungus overwintering method in buildup were carried out bud washing by centrifuge and spot culturing on nutrient mediums. evaluation of shot hole in different areas showed that cultivars response to this disease is fixed inside of a climate but it is differ in d...

shot hole caused by wilsonomyces carpophilus is one of the main constraints to prune fruit production in iran particularly in khorasan razavi province. it causes foliage shot hole in spring and early summer; fruit-spotting and cankers on limbs and twigs during autumn rains. the fungus was isolated from the lesions of twigs and was purified on pda. the pathogenicity and virulence on detached twi...

Transitions between valence subbands resulting from hole-hole scattering in cubic semiconductors have been analyzed in the frame of Coulomb interaction of valence electrons in the Luttinger-Kohn representation. Expressions for transition rates are derived. Calculated rates for transitions between lightand heavy-hole bands are presented for germanium. Hole-hole scattering has remarkably differen...

As a developer of world-class products including server and network devices, Fujitsu recognizes the printed wiring board (PWB) as a core component among the various components of those products. One basic element supporting high-quality PWBs is through-hole interconnection reliability. Existing methods for evaluating interconnections typically involve temperature cycle tests that subject the PW...

We present transport experiments performed in high-quality quantum point contacts embedded in a GaAs two-dimensional hole gas. The strong spin-orbit interaction results in peculiar transport phenomena, including the previously observed anisotropic Zeeman splitting and level-dependent effective g factors. Here we find additional effects, namely, the crossing and the anticrossing of spin-split le...
