This paper describes the machine translation (MT) system developed by the Transducens Research Group, from Universitat d’Alacant, Spain, for the WMT 2011 shared translation task. We submitted a hybrid system for the Spanish–English language pair consisting of a phrase-based statistical MT system whose phrase table was enriched with bilingual phrase pairs matching transfer rules and dictionary e...

Most fingerprint matching systems rely on the distribution of minutiae on the fingertip to represent and match fingerprints. While the ridge flow pattern is generally used for classifying fingerprints, it is seldom used for matching. This paper describes a hybrid fingerprint matching scheme that uses both minutiae and ridge flow information to represent and match fingerprints. A set of 8 Gabor ...

Introduction:  The  advent  of  dual-modality  PET/CT  scanners  has  revolutionized  clinical  oncology  by  improving lesion localization and facilitating treatment planning for radiotherapy. In addition, the use of  CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) decreases the overall scanning time and creates  a noise-free  attenuation  map  (6map).  CTAC  methods  include  scaling,  s...

The comparison between time-varying hybrid trajectories is crucial for tracking, observer design and synchronisation problems for hybrid systems with state-triggered jumps. In this paper, a generic distance function is designed that can be used for this purpose. The so-called “peaking phenomenon”, which occurs when using the Euclidean distance to compare two hybrid trajectories, is circumvented...

In this paper we present the applications of image encryption techniques and channel coding techniques, to design scheme effective for secure image transmission over wireless channels, we present three proposed scheme as follow: First scheme apply image encryption by a combination of hybrid chaotic maps using Baker map and our proposed Hénon chaotic map 3 in three different modes of operations,...

This paper presents a new implementation of a hybrid ciphering system of images in Fourier domain based on two chaotic maps. The first map is the Bakermap,which is used to scramble the image pixels in three modes of operation (CBC, CFB and OFB). The second map is the logistic map,whose secret key depends on the plain text. In the key generation step of the logistic map, the chaotic stream is ge...

In a modern small gasoline engine fuel injection system, the load of the engine is estimated based on the measurement of the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, which took place in the intake manifold. This paper present a more economical approach on estimating the MAP by using only the measurements of the throttle position and engine speed, resulting in lower implementation cost. The esti...

We describe a high-resolution radiation hybrid map of the region on human chromosome 22 containing the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) gene. Eighty-five hamster-human somatic cell hybrids generated by X-irradiation and cell fusion were used to generate the radiation hybrid map. The presence or absence of 18 human chromosome 22-specific markers was determined in each hybrid by using Southern blot...
