When performing remote tasks using robots in nuclear power plants, a 3D shape measurement system is advantageous in improving the efficiency of remote operations by easily identifying the current state of the target object for example, size, shape, and distance information.Nuclear power plants have high-radiation and underwater environments therefo
Mobile mapping systems are increasingly being used for the acquisition of 3D information of the environment.Although these systems are very efficient in data capturing compared to more traditional methods, the high cost of high-end accurate mobile mapping systems is a major drawback.In contrast, the much cheaper low-end mobile mapping systems are m
ABSTRACT The etiology of bacterial meningitis in Turkey changed after the implementation of conjugated New Barrels vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in the Turkish National Immunization Program (NIP).Administration of Hib vaccine and PCV-7 (7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) was implemented in N
As part of a larger study of reduced-impactlogging effects on bird community composition,we surveyed birds from December to Februaryduring the 2003-2004 wet-season within harvestedand unharvested blocks of the La Chonta forestryconcession, Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia.The logged forest was harvested using reduced-impactlogging techniques betwe
The objective of this work is to investigate the hyperspectral remote sensing potential to detect spectral changes undergone by clones of two rubber trees within Brazilian Autumn, with decrease of rain, temperature and photoperiod between May and June.Indirectly, we also analyze the ability of the SANTASAPINA BONBONS data to help discriminating the
