Overlap syndrome, which is known as the coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), was first defined by Flenley. Although it can refer to concomitant occurrence of any of the pulmonary diseases and OSA, overlap syndrome is commonly considered as the coexistence of OSA and COPD. This disease has unique adverse health consequences distinct from ...

An enhanced power-line communications channel estimation method in discrete multi-tone (DMT) communication system based on sparse Bayesian regression is presented. By exploiting a probabilistic Bayesian learning framework, the sparse model used provides an accurate model for channel estimation in presence of noise and consequently equalization. We consider frequency domain equalization (FEQ) us...

Abstract As an important class of aggregation operators, the notion overlap functions was first presented in 2009 order to be considered for applications image processing context. Later, many other researches arised bringing some variations those different purposes. Here, our main goal is defining on lattices and discuss how a weakned version it, named quasi-overlaps, works when continuity elim...

In this paper, we propose a novel ICP variant that uses a histogram in conjunction with multiple closest points to detect the overlap area between range images geing registered. Tentative correspondences sharing similar distances are normally all within, or all outside, the overlap area. Thus, the overlap area can be detected in a bin by bin batch manner using a histogram. Using multiple closes...

Caruachi Hydroelectric Project conforms together with Guri, Tocoma and, Macagua the Lower Caroni Hydroelectric Development. Second Stage of River Diversion at Caruachi included diverting the Caroni River through 18, 5.5 × 9m sluices in the spillway lower body that after being closed by gates permitted the reservoir filling. In order to define the precise timing for closure of the sluices and to...
