Climate change and environmental planning: Working to build community resilience and adaptive capacity in Washington State, USA
(07/01/2009)
This work focuses on the efforts being made by King County, Washington to respond to the challenges of global climate change, concentrating on both mitigation and adaptation. King County is a leader in the United States ...
Real-time flood detection for video surveillance
(11/09/2015)
This paper introduces the real-time flash flood detection method for stationary surveillance cameras. It can be applied for rural and urban areas and capable of working during day time. The background subtraction was used ...
Outdoor stairway segmentation using vertical vanishing point and directional filter
(10/13/2010)
In this paper we propose to detect the localization and recognition of outdoor stairway. This problem is the most fundamental step in solving the problem of autonomous stair climbing navigation. An autonomous system must ...
Modeling Competitive Cation Exchange of Aromatic Amines in Water-Saturated Soils
(06/01/2001)
Competitive association to several components of soil through ion exchange processes influences the fate of organic cations in the environment. To examine these processes, the distributions of aniline and 1-aminonaphthalene ...
Role of pH in partitioning and cation exchange of aromatic amines on water-saturated soils
(08/04/2001)
Predicting the reversible interactions between aromatic amines and soil is essential for assessing the mobility, bioavailability and exposure from contaminated sites. Reversible sorption mechanisms of aniline and α-naphthylamine ...
Stairway segmentation using Gabor Filter and vanishing point
(08/07/2011)
This paper we are proposing to detect the localization and recognition of an indoor stairway. This is a fundamental step in the implementing of autonomous stair climbing navigation, as well as the implementing of passive ...
OTEC Alternative for the Electric Power Generation in Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2019-12-30)
This document presents a qualitative analysis of surface temperatures of the oceanic territory of Panama. These temperatures represent an indication of the potential of the thermal resource in the oceanic territory of ...
High-Resolution Indirect Feet–Ground Interaction Measurement for Hydraulic-Legged Robots
(10/01/2009)
Feet-ground interactions influence the legged robot's stability. In this paper, a high-resolution indirect force measurement for hydraulic-legged robots is presented. The use of pressure transducers placed at one or both ...
Identification technologies to support Alzheimer contexts
(07/16/2008)
Alzheimer's disease makes great demands on care by assistants, due to the fact that they cannot distract their attention from patients while they are at the same time managing records. For that reason, technologies to ...
Lane marking recognition based on laser scanning
(06/03/2015)
Towards safe autonomous vehicle navigation the problem of lane detection and classification is highly important in the development of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). This paper proposes a new method to detect the ...
