Climate change is implicated in the alteration of the ranges of species worldwide. Such shifts in species distributions may introduce parasites/pathogens, hosts, and vectors associated with disease to new areas. The parasite Angiostrongylus ( = Parastrongylus) cantonensis is an invasive species that causes eosinophilic meningitis in humans and neurological abnormalities in domestic/wild animals...

The automotive glazing projection display pertains to projecting information onto unique materials in a car through equipment, new direction of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) the intelligent cockpit. core issue is determining what should be projected car’s and area which it projected. To address this issue, we conducted focus group comprising 12 people. We distributed 1082 questionnaires inve...

The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is an 890 square mile multiprogram Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory in southeastern Idaho. Over the past 50 years, the laboratory has witnessed many significant scientific advances, particularly in the areas of nuclear propulsion, nuclear reactor safety and design, and waste management. As a result of this long history, va...

We use the Markov Random Field (MRF) model in order to segment sonar images, i.e. to localize the sea bottom areas and the projected shadow areas corresponding to objects lying on seaaoor. This model requires on one hand knowledges about the statistical distributions relative to the diierent zones and on the other hand the estimation of the law parameters. The Kolmogorov criterion or the 2 crit...
