This paper first designs and implements an image defogging algorithm based on FPGA. The hardware design mainly includes SDRAM control module, SD card data transmission convolution neural network calculation module. module controls the working state of SDRAM; card; reading writing is responsible for algorithm. Based this point, uses medium complex ocean atmosphere combination model to estimate S...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has become increasingly established as a promising technique for monitoring functional brain activity. To our knowledge, no study has yet used fNIRS to investigate overt reading of irregular words and nonwords with a full coverage of the cerebral regions involved in reading processes. The aim of our study was to design and validate a protocol using ...

The theft of personal information to fake the identity of a person is a common threat normally performed by individual criminals, terrorists, or crime rings to commit fraud or other felonies. Recently, the Spanish identity card, which provides enough information to hire on-line products such as mortgages or loans, was updated to incorporate a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip as electronic pa...

In this paper, we propose to replace the national identity card, currently used in many countries, by a personal device that allows its user to prove some binary statements about him while minimizing personal information leakage. The privacy of the user is protected through the use of anonymous credentials that, allows him to prove binary statements about himself to another entity without havin...

In the context of observations that students lack mastery of elementary reading comprehension in Malayalam even by the end of 5-7 years of formal schooling, this study applies multiple regression analysis for reading comprehension. Longitudinal survey data from a representative sample of 159 lower primary students from grade 2 to 4 revealed Reading Comprehension as significantly and positively ...

Previous studies have found the modified Thorington test and the Howell phoria card test to be more repeatable than the von Graefe test. Another potential way to assess the value of a test could be to correlate test results with the level of symptoms. Near dissociated phorias were measured with the modified Thorington, Howell phoria card, and von Graefe procedures with 50 subjects between the a...

We are what we eat, what we experience, and what we learn from others. Here I am reporting my observations nearly 50 years from the day I first taught an Economics class at Michigan State University. I have received my new ID card with RETIRED in bold letters indicating my new status. I report observations about the title topic blending my experience with what I have learned from others through...

PURPOSE To investigate the possibility of multifocal or aspherical treatment of the cornea with optical ray tracing. SETTING Institute for Refractive and Ophthalmic Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland. METHODS The optical consequences of 4 corneal shapes-global optimum (GO) for curvature and asphericity, central steep island (CSI), decentered steep island (DSI), and centered steep annulus (CSA)-fo...
