The Radar is a remote-sensing device which detects and identifies targets in all weathers. With the development of the radar system, the requirement of high image quality makes the radar system more complicated, so the current radar systems need a revolution. Quantum radar is a new detection technology based on the mechanism of quantum physics and is proving very efficient for enhancing radar t...

Nowadays, due to the advances of many industries people tend to travel much more in compared to the past. Without any doubt, various types of climates and weathers, vemacular diseases, changes in life style and qualitative and quantitative changes of nutrition are all the factors of which many diseases occur during trips. Travel associated anxieties and fears are common. It has been suggested t...

ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to my major professor Dr. R. Wes Harrison. I want to thank him for trusting my professional skills, for his guidance, advice, and time throughout this research. I must also extend my gratitude to my committee members, Dr. Roger Hinson, and Dr. Lynn Kennedy, thank you for being a part of my graduate committee and for your valuable assis...

In order to improve the traffic visibility in haze weathers, a Retinex algorithm based on the changing scale for haze removal with a depth map is proposed. It requires the haze image dark channel prior treatment to obtain the estimated depth map. Then it is according to the depth map to calculate Retinex scales for different parts of a hazy image. Finally a single scale Retinex transform is per...

Investigations in the past two decades have shown the utility of the Newtonian model of heat loss from homoiotherms which was established in the biological literature by Scholander et al. (1950a, b, c). The stimulative effect of those papers is seen in a proliferation of thermoregulatory studies (for reviews see Bartholomew, 1968; Dawson & Hudson, 1970). Sufficient data'have been generated from...
