Gateway Monuments are free standing roadside structures or signage that communicate the name of a city, country or township to motorists. The placement of such monuments within state-controlled right-of-way is a relatively recent occurrence in California. As a result, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) initiated research to quantify the impacts that this type of signage may ...

This paper presents hardware architecture for an Interval Type-2 fuzzy processor. The architecture is based on the use of two Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Systems (T1 FLS) and it suggests that the existing techniques for implementing T1 FLS can be employed for realizing Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (T2 FLS). The paper also presents a survey of the various realizations for T1 FLS and summarizes them giving ...

introduction continuing environmental crisis, human was aware of the necessity for revising its method of dealing with the environment during the development. therefore, changing the development paradigm from classical to modern, sustainable development and environmental issues become major pillars of development and achieve sustainable development depends on the complete recognition of environ...

We propose a method for accurately tracking the spatial motion of standard laparoscopic instruments from video. By exploiting the geometric and photometric invariants common to standard FLS training boxes, the method provides robust and accurate tracking of instruments from video. The proposed method requires no modifications to the standard FLS training box, camera or instruments.

The paper focuses on improving the spectrum sharing using NSU, FLS and Traffic Pattern Prediction and also made comparison that traffic pattern prediction provides a better way of improving the spectrum utilization and avoids the spectrum scarcity. This helps to increase the number of active users, ease of identification of optimal users to use the spectrum with maximized coverage of the spectr...

INTRODUCTION Tuberculosis infection may remain latent, but the disease is nevertheless a serious public health issue. Various epidemiological studies on pulmonary tuberculosis have considered the spatial component and taken it into account, revealing the tendency of this disease to cluster in particular locations. The aim was to assess the contribution of Knowledge Attitude and Practice (KAP) t...
