Sensor engineering is continuously evolving as devices become cheaper, smaller, more intelligent, and more efficient. Today, oceanographic sensors aim at monitoring marine processes by means of physical, chemical, and biological variables, and use different data formats, units, parameters, resolutions, data quality standards, and protocols. Therefore, integration and interoperability at Europea...

i o s d s d H t W A w o t t i u The results reported in this issue of Heart Rhythm by orter et al suggest that AV nodal reentrant tachycardia AVNRT) is more common in women than men and that ging makes AV reciprocating tachycardia less likely and VNRT and focal atrial tachycardia (AT) more likely. hese observations imply differences in the basic electrohysiology of the AV node, the atrium, and ...

Object recognition involves identifying known objects in a given scene. It plays a key role in image understanding, a Grand Challenge problem. Geometric hashing has been recently proposed as a technique f o r model based object recognition in occluded scenes. I n this paper , we present scalable data parallel algori thms f o r geometric hashing on Connection Machine CM-5. Given a scene consisti...

Lagrangian transport characteristics in the Gulf of La Spezia, a 5 × 10-km area along the western coast of Italy, are investigated using data collected from a very high frequency (VHF) radar system with 250 m and 30-min resolution and two clusters of Coastal Dynamics Experiment surface drifters during 2 weeks in the summer of 2007. The surface drifters are found to follow the temporal and spati...

High-data-rate ground-to-space optical links are envisioned to be an alternative and more probably a next step to radio-frequency links, after the Q/V band still under development [1] for the feeder links of next generation high throughput satellites. Indeed, optical links allow a significant increase of the available spectral resources per link. This enables a drastic reduction of the number o...

objective: the ideal time to commence orthodontic treatment is very important. in iran, due to the widely distributed population and low number and uneven distribution of orthodontists, general dental practitioners (gdps) play an important role in proper treatment of occlusal and functional disorders and referring orthodontic patients to orthodontists. the purpose of this study was to assess th...

The European Commission’s Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI), part of the Europe 2020 strategy, aims to ‘achieve more better from less’ by bringing together a diversity innovation actors harness their combined knowledges creatively achieve sustainability goals. creation novel use biomaterials remains both significant challenge opportunity all rele...

In this paper we analyze how oceanic circulation affects sediment deposition along a sector of the Ross Sea continental margin, between Iselin Bank and Hillary Canyon, these processes evolved since Late Miocene. The Canyon is one few places around Antarctic margin where dense waters produced onto shelf, mainly through brine rejection related to sea ice production, flow down slope reach deep bot...

Abstract In an ever more challenging context for the acquisition of seismic data in Mediterranean Sea, reprocessing to improve quality legacy has become increasingly important. This work presents newly reprocessed, open access dataset SALTFLU acquired Algerian basin by National Institute Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) 2012. We apply a ‘broadband’ strategy adapted offset-limited (3 km...

We explain some limitations of regularization theory of early vision and formulate visual representation and learning as statistical mechanics of surfaces with defects. In this new paradigm, pinning energy consists of a set of local oriented regularization fields. To reconstruct a D dimensional surface, known data, generally a set of patches of 0, I,. . . , D I dimensions, are taken as defects ...
