In this paper an approach for detecting Norwegian speed limit signs is proposed. It consists of three major steps: Color-based filtering, locating sign(s) in an image and detection of numbers on the sign. Very good results are obtained for the two first steps and for the third one work is still in progress.

The novel dimer [Cp(2)Zr[upper bond start]([minus sign in circle])S([plus sign in circle])CH(Ph)CH[double bond]C[upper bond end]PPh(2)](2), the first example of a structurally characterised sulfur-bridged binuclear zirconathiolane complex, was prepared, characterised by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, and some aspects of its solution behaviour were studied.

A sign pattern is a matrix with entries in {+, −, 0}. A full sign pattern has no zero entries. The refined inertia of a matrix pattern is defined and techniques are developed for constructing potentially nilpotent full sign patterns. Such patterns are spectrally arbitrary. These techniques can also be used to construct potentially nilpotent sign patterns that are not full, as well as potentiall...

Backgrounds. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI-ME) is useful for diagnosing differentiated early gastric cancer (D-EGC). D-EGC is classified as high- or low-grade based on its glandular architectural and cytological atypia. Low-grade, well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (LG-tub1) mixed with high-grade tub1 (HG-tub1) and/or other histological types (M-LG-tub1) may indicat...

Patterns in radiological images can help with the identification and differential diagnosis of selected processes.1,2 Such signs should be recognizable, having a characteristic appearance that can identified. Several radiological signs can be of use when diagnosing pulmonary pathology: the crazy-paving sign, the golden "S," the gloved finger, the halo sign, the deep sulcus sign, the incomplete ...

Background: Determining the genetic gender has been a human's inaccessible will during the history. Today science resolves the problem; pre implantation diagnosis (PGD) is used as a method of genetic disease diagnosis and gender determination. The holy Quran in many verses ascribes genetic gender determination and recognition to Allah, the Almighty. Hence, according to some, genetic gender...

Today’s, a common problem in cities is increasing delay and reducing the speed of traffic. On the other wise increasing costs of acquisition in urban area are not allow new routes and highways. Also construction of new highway or street such as Imam Ali highway and Sadr highway in Tehran lead to develop new applications (such as BRT lane ,…) And become quickly saturate and less eff...

We investigate thermoelectric properties of correlated quantum dots and molecules, described by a single level Anderson model coupled to conduction electron leads, by using Wilson’s numerical renormalization group method. In the Kondo regime, the thermopower, S(T ), exhibits two sign changes, at temperatures T = T1 and T = T2 > T1. We find that T2 is of order the level width Γ and T1 > Tp ≈ TK ...
