We present a template-based pipeline that performs realtime speed-limit-sign recognition using an embedded system with a lowend GPU as the main processing element. Our pipeline operates in the frequency domain, and uses nonlinear composite filters and a contrastenhancing preprocessing step to improve its accuracy. Running at interactive rates, our system achieves 90% accuracy over 120 EU speed-...

Acrylamide was grafted in low density polyethylene during melt processing in the presence of a free radical initiator using a torque rheometer in a closed system. Effects of processing time, acrylamide and benzoyl peroxide concentrations were studied. FTIR studies revealed that the degree of grafting increased by an increase in acrylamide concentration. Maximum grafting was obtained at 7 mi...

Lexical decisions to high- and low-arousal negative words and to low-arousal neutral and positive words were examined in an event-related potentials (ERP) study. Reaction times to positive and high-arousal negative words were shorter than those to neutral (low-arousal) words, whereas those to low-arousal negative words were longer. A similar pattern was observed in an early time window of the E...

palm date leaves were processed with lime in a processing reactor in a factorial arrangement of treatments (3 × 3) with 3 levels of temperatures (40, 80 and 100°c) and time periods (80, 160, and 240 minutes) in a completely randomized design. fermentation parameters measured using gas production technique. with increasing pretreatment time and temperature lignin content reduced from 13.0 percen...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...

in order to investigate the effect of processing type (whole straw bale processing or opened straw bale processing with urea) on diet digestibility, economical and productive parameters in feedlot cattle, 18 holstein bull with average body weight 224.72 ± 20.45 kg were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 replicate. treatments 1, 2 and 3 contained 40% typical straw, 40...

We study a single server queue operating under the shortest remaining processing time (SRPT) scheduling policy; that is, preemptively serves job with first. Since one needs to keep track of times all jobs in system order describe evolution, natural state descriptor for an SRPT is measure valued process which at given finite nonnegative Borel on real line puts unit atom each system. In this work...
