8 The increasing availability of Very High Spatial Resolution images enables accurate 9 digital maps production as an aid for management in the agricultural domain. In 10 this study we develop a comprehensive and automatic tool for vineyard detection, 11 delineation and characterization using aerial images and without any parcel plan 12 availability. In France, vineyard training methods in rows...

in this paper, we have proposed a new algorithm which combines pso and ga in such a way that the new algorithm is more effective and efficient.the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm has shown rapid convergence during the initial stages of a global search but around global optimum, the search process will become very slow. on the other hand, genetic algorithm is very sensitive to the in...

Over the past few decades, several powerful placement algorithms have been used successfully in performing VLSI placement. With the increasing complexity of the VLSI chips, there is no clear dominant placement paradigm today. This work attempts to explore hybrid algorithms for large-scale VLSI placement. Our work aims to evaluate existing placement algorithms, estimate the ease of their reuse, ...

Most current load balancing systems are based on process placement or process migration. We introduce placement of user login sessions as a load balancing approach, and compare it to the process placement and process migration approaches. A load balancing system based on user placement is described, and some experimental results are given. We conclude that user placement has several advantages ...

INTRODUCTION Evidence indicates a need to recruit more GPs to a career in rural general practice (GP). Research has indicated that placement experiences have the potential to impact on medical career decision-making. Research also suggests that rural placements can raise both professional and psychosocial concerns, but there is no existing evidence about whether pre-placement expectations trans...

Background: The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the accuracy of pedicular screw insertion withoutthe use of fluoroscopy.Methods: This study was conducted on patients with spinal diseases in need of pedicular screw fixation and fusion.The included patients suffered from such conditions as vertebral fracture, spinal stenosis, kyphosis, tumor, and pelvicf...
