Given a set of rectangular modules with fixed area and variable dimensions, and a fixed rectangular circuit. The placement of Fixed-Outline Floorplanning with Soft Modules (FOFSM) aims to determine the dimensions and position of each module on the circuit. We present a two-stage Iterative Merging Placement (IMP) algorithm for the FOFSM with zero deadspace constraint. The first stage iteratively...

This article presents improvements in the segmentation module, feature extraction module, and the classification module of a low-cost automated visual inspection (AVI) system for wood defect classification. One of the major drawbacks in the low-cost AVI system was the erroneous segmentation of clear wood regions as defects, which then introduces confusion in the classification module. To reduce...

In this paper we defined the concept of module amenability of Banach algebras and module connes amenability of module dual Banach algebras.Also we assert the concept of module Arens regularity that is different with [1] and investigate the relation between module amenability of Banach algebras and connes module amenability of module second dual Banach algebras.In the following we studythe...

Deep hashing methods have been shown to be the most efficient approximate nearest neighbor search techniques for large-scale image retrieval. However, existing deep a poor small-sample ranking performance case-based medical The top-ranked images in returned query results may as different class than image. This problem is caused by classification, regions of interest (ROI), and information loss ...

Meiosis is a unique process that allows the generation of reproductive cells. It remains largely unknown how meiosis is initiated in germ cells and why non-germline cells do not undergo meiosis. We previously demonstrated that knockdown of Max expression, a gene encoding a partner of MYC family proteins, strongly activates expression of germ cell-related genes in ESCs. Here we find that complet...

Membrane distillation has the potential to concentrate solutions to their saturation level, thus offering the possibility to recover valuable salts from the solutions. The process performance and stability, however, is strongly dependent upon the features of membranes applied. In addition, several other parameters, membrane thickness and thermal conductivity significantly affect the process per...

To enhance student learning effectively, problem-based learning appears to be an efficient pedagogy. This paper proposes a model for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) via a commonly used communication infrastructure, the Internet. The model is called the Online Problem-Based Model of Learning Java. There are three components, namely, Communication Module, Visual Module, and Supporting Module. All co...

In the present paper we expound a methodology for the development of terminology systems and the construction of semantically founded knowledge systems. This method is based on ontological mappings using reference top-level ontologies, and is inspired by rigorous logico-philosophical principles. We outline a framework consisting of a system of formal tools designed to support the development of...

Let R be ring and M a right R-module. This article introduces the concept of τ −⊕-supplemented modules as follows: Given a hereditary torsion theory in Mod-R with associated torsion functor τ we say that a module M is τ −⊕-supplemented when for every submodule N of M there exists a direct summand K of M such that M = N +K and N ∩K is τ−torsion, and M is called completely τ −⊕-supplemented if ev...

This paper describes the HOP system. It consists of a wireless module built up by multiple nodes and a base station. The nodes detect acceleration of e.g. human movement. At a rate of 100 Hertz the base station collects the acceleration samples. The data can be acquired in real-time software like Pure Data and Max/MSP. The data can be used to analyze and/or sonify movement.
