This study describes performance analysis of a robust system for road sign identification that incorporated two stages of different algorithms. The proposed algorithms consist of HSV color filtering and PCA techniques respectively in detection and recognition stages. The proposed algorithms are able to detect the three standard types of colored ima

We investigate an Ising model with two restricted competing interactions (nearest neighbors, and one-level neighbors) on the Cayley tree of order four. We derive a recurrent equation for the Cayley tree of order k. We found an analytic solution for the given interactions in the case of order 4. Our result of the critical curve shows the existence o

A Case Report on Gender Identity Disorder with Recurrent Depressive Disorder is presented. Individuals having this disorder often exhibit discomfort about their actual anatomic gender, and they may have wished to alter their bodies. Sex role-stereotypes adopted during childhood are the beliefs, characteristics and behaviors of individual cultures t

This paper discusses burr in microdrilling that affect forms and functions of parts. The effects of microdrillingparameters on burr length and width are identified. The experiment was conducted using Mikrotools DT110 machine with one millimetre diameter of HSS on copper workpiece. Burr heights in terms of burr length and burr width were measured by

Pakistan because of its geographical location became a front line state in the war against terror since the attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001. Pakistan decided to align with USA to combat the so-called fundamentalist and Islamic terrorist. Currently, the biggest threat to the state and citizens is the killing of innocent civili

108.1 INTRODUCTION Olive oil is a key component in the Mediterranean-style diet ( Stark and Madar, 2002 ). It has been recognized as having great potential to prevent the onset of oxidativedamage- associated diseases such as cancer, aging and cardiovascular problems. The Mediterranean diet, for example, is associated with lower incidence of colorec

Islam affirms that the universe is a unity emanating from a single Will of the Sustaining Lord; and man himself is a part of this universe, dependent upon and related to all other parts; individuals are as atoms, dependent upon and related to the world, therefore, they must have the same dependence upon and relation to one another. So, the Islamic

In this study a multilevel framework is proposed to analyze the charges definition problem for an ATC/ATM service provider. Two cases are considered: a case in which the ATC/ATM service provider is a public company whose final objective is, while guaranteeing safety, to promote the level of end users demand, and a case in which the ATC/ATM service

There is no religious hierarchy or priestly class in Islam. However, despite the absence of any church, priests and sacraments1, with the passage of time there emerged in the Muslim world a class of religious luminaries who possessed legislative, social and political authority. These scholars or religious leaders govern almost all the aspects of th

Aroma and cooked kernel elongation are the most important quality traits of aromatic rice, which differentiate the highly valued aromatic rice from the other rice types. Previous studies on genetic analysis have shown that genes/ QTLs for these two traits are linked. In the present study, it tried to evaluate the expression of aroma, kernel elongat
