In this paper, we propose a method for global localization using an omni-directional camera. A robot position and angle are estimated by correlation coefficient between topological node-map images and input images. Near-node has the largest correlation coefficient in topological map images. The calculated correlation coefficient makes the mixtures of Gaussians density map. The highest value of ...

We consider the inverse boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation at fixed energy with boundary measurements represented as the impedance boundary map (or Robin-to-Robin map). We give formulas and equations for finding (generalized) scattering data for the aforementioned equation from boundary measurements in this impedance representation. Combining these results with results of the i...

The classification phase is computationally intensive and frequently recurs in tracking applications in sensor networks. Most related work uses traditional signal processing classifiers, such as Maximum A Posterior (MAP) classifier. Naïve formulations of MAP are not feasible for resource constraint sensornet nodes. In this paper, we study computationally efficient methods for classification. We...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of high co2 modified atmosphere packaging (map) on storage quality of ‘selva’ strawberry fruits. the statistical analysis carried out using factorial experiment by completely randomized design (crd) with three replications. treatments included cover in two levels (polyethylene and polyamide) and two different gas compositions (2% o2 + 15% co2 + 83...

hershfield method is commonly used for computing probable maximum precipitation (pmp) in most parts of the world for which the frequency factor (km) is considered to be 15 for computing 24-h pmp (pmp24). this value may not be suitable for different stations under different climatic conditions. in 1986 the world meteorological organization standardized the hershfield method and introduced the re...

In this paper we discuss the alignment between a business model of a value web and the information systems of the participating companies needed to implement the business model. Traditional business-IT alignment approaches focus on one single company, but in a value web we are dealing with various independent businesses. Since a value web is actually a web of services, delivered by IT systems o...

Abstract— The map merging problem in a robotic network consists of the construction of a global map of the environment using the partial (local) maps individually acquired by the robots. We build on ideas from distributed sensor fusion to provide an algorithmic solution to the map merging problem that uses the local maps as sensor measurements. We use a distributed average consensus algorithm t...

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were monitored in six normal baboons and six further animals in which an artificial subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) had been induced one week previously. MAP was reduced by the infusion of sodium nitroprusside. In the normal animals with administration of sodium nitroprusside, CBF increased initially but started to decrease as MAP was re...

earthquakes are a particular concern because of the serious hazard they present. the existence of seismicity patterns such as the foreshock and aftershock clusters, doughnut pattern, seismic quiescence etc show that the earthquake occurrence in the active tectonic regions is not random and clustering phenomena are obvious characteristics of these events in space and time. fractal analysis, as a...
