Since seafood is highly susceptible to corruption, it is important to check their storage and shelf-life time. In this research, image processing technology was used to recognize the freshness (time lasted of catching) of shrimps. Shrimp samples were randomly selected from shrimp farming pools and stored in three storage conditions: freezer, refrigerator, and cool environments. Images were take...

Today, planning and control of logistic processes on automobile terminals are generally executed by centralised logistics systems, which cannot cope with high requirements for flexible order processing due to increasing dynamics and complexity. The main business processes on automobile terminals – notification of vehicles by automobile manufacturer, transport to automobile terminal, storage and...

In order to evaluate image annotation and object categorisation algorithms, ground truth in the form of a set of images correctly annotated with text describing each image is required. Statistics on the WordNet categories of keywords collected from recent automated image annotation and object categorisation publications and evaluation campaigns are presented. These statistics provide a snapshot...

Flexibility in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging can reduce PEV charging costs. Moreover, controlled PEV charging can be viewed as a limited form of energy storage, insomuch as charging loads are shifted from high-cost periods to lower-cost ones. Energy storage that is used for generation shifting is used in much the same manner. In this paper, we study these benefits of PEV charging, dem...

Shared storage has become commonplace with recent trends in storage technologies, such as storage consolidation and virtualization, etc. Meanwhile, storage QoS, which guarantees different storage service requirements from various applications toward shared storage, is gaining in importance. This paper proposes a new scheme which combines a feedback-controlled leaky bucket with a fair queuing al...

When seeds germinate nearly all the proteins are degraded in senescing storage tissue cells. All these proteins act as amino acid reserves which are mobilized to nourish the seedling. Nevertheless, the major amount of the seeds' protein reserve consists of a few enzymatically inactive, abundant, genuine storage proteins. In their metabolism the conflicting processes of biosynthesis, protein tur...
