In this paper we propose a new scheduling algorithm called Real Time Scheduling (RTS). This algorithm deals with all the contributing components of the end-to-end travelling delay of data packets in sensor network to achieve better power management and stable routes in case of failure. RTS delays packets at intermediate hops (not just prioritizes them) for a duration that is a function of their...

The white spotting locus (S) in dogs is colocalized with the MITF (microphtalmia-associated transcription factor) gene. The phenotypic effects of the four S alleles range from solid colour (S) to extreme white spotting (s(w)). We have investigated four candidate mutations associated with the s(w) allele, a SINE insertion, a SNP at a conserved site and a simple repeat polymorphism all associated...

As the OCR technique is not yet adequate for handwritten scripts with large lexicon, word spotting has been introduced as an alternative to OCR. This paper proposes a novel approach to word spotting that, instead of matching features of the word image to features extracted from predefined templates, uses the estimated posterior probability as the output of well trained classifier for spotting. ...

Vast collections of documents available in image format need to be indexed for information retrieval purposes. In this framework, word spotting is an alternative solution to optical character recognition (OCR), which is rather inefficient for recognizing text of degraded quality and unknown fonts usually appearing in printed text, or writing style variations in handwritten documents. Over the p...
