As Planck’s constant ~ (treated as a free parameter) tends to zero, the solution to the eikonal equation |∇S(X)| = f(X) can be increasingly closely approximated by the solution to the corresponding Schrödinger equation. When the forcing function f(X) is set to one, we get the Euclidean distance function problem. We show that the corresponding Schrödinger equation has a closed form solution whic...

although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. in this paper, the best fluence maps for an imrt procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. first, a d...

The primary mission and purpose of the Board is to enforce public policy related to the safe and effective practice of nursing in the interest of public welfare. As a regulatory agency of state government, the Board of Nursing accomplishes this mission as authorized by Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 314—The KENTUCKY NURSING LAWS and attendant administrative regulations. In accomplishin...

This paper presents an e cient shape-based object detection method using Distance Transforms (DTs). The proposed method extends previous DT-based matching techniques by using multiple features and a template hierarchy associated with a coarse-tone search over the template transformation parameters. Signi cant speed-up factors are typically obtained when comparing the proposed hierarchical metho...

Exit sign lightings shorten evacuation time by informing evacuees of the direction to a safe area . As information included in exit lighting is easily recognized evacuees, required for route choice and probability moving wrong are reduced. In this study, we examined method improve cognitive performance using color. The maximum distance was measured seven colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue...
