Cooperative map matching (CMM) uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position information of a group of vehicles to improve the standalone localization accuracy. It has been shown, in our previous work, that the GNSS error can be reduced from several meters to sub-meter level by matching the biased GNSS positioning to a digital map with road constraints. While further error reducti...

CMM found its genesis in Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Carnegie Mellon University, USA . It was formulated mainly because the existing ISO standard was not suitable for the Software Industry. Today CMM is widely used and is considered to be the most prestigious standard in software industry. USA and Indian software companies were the first to adopt CMM. However given the cultural simila...

The mu and theta classes of glutathione S-transferases (GST) may affect the development of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) by decreasing cellular oxidative stress in skin. These isozymes are absent in a large proportion of the population because of germ-line homozygous deletions in the genes encoding GSTM1 and GSTT1. To determine the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 homozygous deletions (...

The main aim of this research is to determine the best material for manufacturing of steering knuckle in order to reduce the weight using aluminum alloy and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). To achieve this purpose, the Modal test has been performed to study vibrational behavior of steering knuckle. CAD Model has been prepared by using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Finally, the Finite Element...

The CDKN2A gene has been implicated in cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in about 40% of families with linkage to chromosome 9p21, while a small proportion of families have mutations in the CDK4 gene. In order to estimate the importance of these genes in the predisposition to CMM in Spanish families and patients we have analysed, by SSCA, a total of 56 subjects belonging to 34 CMM families, an...

Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is a neoplasm which has always evoked scientific interest out of proportion to its frequency. Over the past decades, CMM has shown the most rapidly increasing neoplasm in yearly incidence. Such increased incidence outweighed the moderate improvements in therapy, causing a global increase in mortality. The disease progresses from the primary CMM (stages I and I...
