Driverless vehicles operate by sensing and perceiving its surrounding environment to make the accurate driving decisions. A combination of several different sensors such as LiDAR, radar, ultrasound sensors and cameras are utilized to sense the surrounding environment of driverless vehicles. The heterogeneous sensors simultaneously capture various physical attributes of the environment. Such mul...

Introduction: Congenital missing of maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular second premolars are one of the most common developmental dental anomalies that can affect patient’s function and aesthetics. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of congenital missing of lateral maxillary teeth and second mandibular premolars in patients referred to the Dental Faculty of ...

This study used data of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles from 3,221 patients during 2004 to 2013, collected in Leuven University Fertility Center, aiming to identify patient and cycle characteristics to predict pregnancy and live birth rate. Variables include age, gonadotrophin dose, year of the IVF cycle, implantation problems, transport problems, ovulation problems, male pathology, pituita...

In many real-world situations, performers always adopt different energy levels (strategies) to participate. Different from pre-existing results, this paper is devoted proposing several generalized power outputs of the marginal index, Banzhaf–Coleman and Banzhaf–Owen respectively, by assigning all performers. Since these extended may not be efficacious, we further define efficacious extensions o...

Estimating the contribution of forests to carbon sequestration is commonly done by applying forest growth models. Such models inherently use field observations, such as leaf area index (LAI), whereas relevant information is also available from remotely sensed images. The purpose of this study is to improve the LAI estimated from the physiological principles predicting growth (3-PG) model by com...
