The emergence of wireless sensor networks and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technologies have brought thousands of evolutions to establish connections among human world, nature and ...computers. This paper presents a system design of Paddy growth monitoring with wireless sensor networks, which aimed to assist farmers in precise agriculture and increase of rice yield.
We present a series of algorithms for detecting circular arc segments and estimating their circular centers and radii from planar curves. Scale-space filtering is first used to remove noise and ...extract curve segments with similar local point curvatures. Arc extending and merging algorithms are then applied to extend and join these segments. Finally, perceptually significant circular arc segments are produced after the arc verification process.
Arrays of highly ordered silicon nanowire (SiNW) are fabricated using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor-compatible technology, and the ultrasensitive, label-free, ...electrical detection of cardiac biomarker in blood serum using the array sensor is demonstrated. The SiNW array biosensor allows for real-time detection of cardiac biomarker in desalted serum, more importantly, multiplexed detection of cardiac biomarkers in untreated and non-desalted blood serum.

The aging ...Whidbey Island and Harpers Ferry class ships, LSD-41 and 49 respectively, comprise just over one third of the amphibious navy. However, a solution to the capability gap created by the loss of these ships is needed to maintain the effectiveness of the amphibious fleet across a broad spectrum of mission areas. This research effort considers future ship designs and fleet architectures to meet the capability gaps left by the decommissioning of the LSD-41 and 49 class ships. With respect to lift capacity, performance capability, cost and a risk assessment, the analysis showed the LPD-17 or a LSD(X) approximately 30% larger than the existing classes to be acceptable replacement classes. This analysis also supports further research to determine the most robust fleet architecture apart from the current eleven LHA or LHD, eleven LPD and eleven LSD paradigm.
