This paper introduces a new approach for recognizing two-dimensional shapes called the SKS algorithm and compares it with three other state-of-art methods in detail. These include the Hu Moments, CSS matching and Shape context. The algorithm uses the philosophy of evidence accumulation similar to generalized Hough transform and is highly parallel in nature. The performance of each algorithm is ...

INTRODUCTION Ishikawa and Jefferson are the two most commonly used systems used for the classification of cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS). However, relative utilities of these two classification systems have not been evaluated in detail in developing countries. In this study, we compared relative utilities of these two classification schemes in the evaluation of CSS. OBJECTIVE To compare the u...

Molecular tests hold great potential for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, but are costly, time consuming, and HIV-infected patients are often sputum scarce. Therefore, alternative approaches are needed. We evaluated automated digital chest radiography (ACR) as a rapid and cheap pre-screen test prior to Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert). 388 suspected TB subjects underwent chest radiography, Xpert and sputum cu...

In this paper, we propose a novel economic-efficiency framework for an electric vehicle (EV) network to maximize the profits (i.e., amount of money that can be earned) charging stations (CSs). To end, first introduce energy demand prediction method CSs leveraging federated learning approaches, in which each CS train its own transactions locally and exchange learned model with other improve qual...

Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is decreased by cigarette smoking. The hypothesis that oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in cigarette smoke solution (CSS) may exert a negative feedback mechanism upon NO release from epithelial (AEC, A549, and NHTBE) and basophilic cells (RBL-2H3) was tested in vitro. CSS inhibited both NO production and degranulation (measured as release of beta-hexosaminidase) in a dose-dep...

the main concern of this study was communication strategies (css) which are used to compensate for communication breakdown. the goals of this study were to examine whether proficiency level of iranian students had any relationship with their choice of css. this research was descriptive in nature. the participants were 15 pre-intermediate and 14 intermediate efl learners between 16 to 21years ol...

Chaos is embedded to the he Charged System Search (CSS) to solve practical optimization problems. To improve the ability of global search, different chaotic maps are introduced and three chaotic-CSS methods are developed. A comparison of these variants and the standard CSS demonstrates the superiority and suitability of the selected variants for practical civil optimization problems.

There continues to be a widening gap between processor speeds and memory access time. This gap is seen in systems ranging from embedded computing systems to high-performance supercomputing systems. In this paper, we present an instruction scheduling algorithm that can be targetted towards VLIW architectures commonly found in embedded systems and high-performance workstations i.e. Itanium. The g...
