Recognition of Indian language scripts is a challenging problem. Work for the development of complete OCR systems for Indian language scripts is still in infancy. Complete OCR systems have recently been developed for Devanagri and Bangla scripts. Research in the field of recognition of Telugu script faces major problems mainly related to the touching and overlapping of characters. Segmentation of touching Telugu characters is a difficult task for recognizing individual characters. In this paper, the proposed algorithm is for the segmentation of  touching Hand written Telugu characters. The proposed method using Drop-fall algorithm is based on the moving of a marble on either side of the touching characters for selection of the point from where the cutting of the fused components should take place. This method improvers the segmentation accuracy higher than the existing one.

The interpolation of small datasets is challenging problem regarding the selection of interpolation methods and type of datasets. Here, for such analysis, the analysed data was taken in two hydrocarbon fields (“A” and “B”), located in the western part of the Sava Depression (in Northern Croatia). The selected reservoirs “L” (in the “A” Field) and “K” (“B”) are of Lower Pontian (Upper Miocene) age and belong to the Kloštar-Ivanić Formation. Due to strong tectonics, there are numerous tectonic blocks, each sampled with only a few wells. We selected two variables for interpolation—reservoirs permeabilities and injected volumes of field water. The following interpolation methods are described, compared and applied: Nearest Neighbourhood, Natural Neighbour (for the first time in the Sava Depression) and Inverse Distance Weighting. The last one has been recommended as the most appropriate in this study. Also, the presented research can be repeated in similar clastic environments at the same level hydrocarbon of exploration.

Pain is a common symptom experienced by individuals who are in treatment for cancer and becomes more prevalent for those with more advanced stages of malignancy. Critical care nurses are essential in the management of cancer-related pain, which is a challenging problem when individuals who have a cancer diagnosis are admitted to the intensive care unit for emergent conditions. Regular, thorough, and patient-appropriate assessments by experienced critical care nurses guide selection of treatment modalities, including pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic techniques. In addition, existential pain necessitates spiritual care intervention, and involvement of other appropriate interdisciplinary team members can result in improved management of all types of pain experienced by critically ill individuals with cancer.

Tugboats are of vital importance in ports where a significant portion of world trade takes place. Selection of a tugboat that suitable for different operations in a port is a challenging problem that requires many different criteria to be evaluated at the same time. This selection requires high experience as well as technical knowledge of the tugboats and the operations to be carried out. In the present paper, an integrated model for evaluation and selection of tugboats is given. Based on the statistical data available in the study, assessment of the effect of different criteria on different harbour tugboats categorized according to the propulsion systems were carried out. The criteria for the tugboat alternatives were assessed through a questionnaire by subject-matter-experts containing comparative technical, financial and operational questions. The weights of each criteria were calculated using fuzzy Shannon’s entropy and fuzzy TOPSIS was utilized to rank the alternatives. Finally, the most suitable tugboat according to propulsion system was selected.

Despite recent great progress on semantic segmentation, there still exist huge challenges in medical ultra-resolution image segmentation. The methods based on multi-branch structure can make a good balance between computational burdens and segmentation accuracy. However, the fusion structure in these methods require to be designed elaborately to achieve desirable result, which leads to model redundancy. In this paper, we propose Meta Segmentation Network (MSN) to solve this challenging problem. With the help of meta-learning, the fusion module of MSN is quite simple but effective. MSN can fast generate the weights of fusion layers through a simple meta-learner, requiring only a few training samples and epochs to converge. In addition, to avoid learning all branches from scratch, we further introduce a particular weight sharing mechanism to realize a fast knowledge adaptation and share the weights among multiple branches, resulting in the performance improvement and significant parameters reduction. The experimental results on two challenging ultra-resolution medical datasets BACH and ISIC show that MSN achieves the best performance compared with the state-of-the-art approaches.

Selection of a suitable stabilization system for motor yachts is a challenging problem for both owners and designers. Also, this is a good sample of multicriteria decision-making problem that includes many criteria required to be assessed at the same time. The present work aims to propose an extended Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution methodology based on single-valued neutrosophic numbers which represent the uncertainty of real-world applications. A questionnaire was applied to a group of experts who were asked to evaluate four different stabilizer alternatives according to the 15 criteria determined. Evaluations of the experts were analyzed through the proposed methodology, and results were presented and discussed.

Abstract Some of the foundations of Heyes’ radical reasoning seem to be based on a fractional selection of available evidence. Using an ethological perspective, we argue against Heyes’ rapid dismissal of innate cognitive instincts. Heyes’ use of fMRI studies of literacy to claim that culture assembles pieces of mental technology seems an example of incorrect reverse inferences and overlap theories pervasive in cognitive neuroscience.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

SummaryA routine has been developed for the processing of the 5820 plates of the survey. The plates are measured on the automatic measuring machine, GALAXY, and the measures are subsequently processed by computer, to edit and then refer them to the SAO catalogue. A start has been made on measuring the plates, but the final selection of stars to be made is still a matter for discussion.

Ultimate resolution in the scanning electron microscope is determined not only by the diameter of the incident electron beam, but by interaction of that beam with the specimen material. Generally, while minimum beam diameter diminishes with increasing voltage, due to the reduced effect of aberration component and magnetic interference, the excited volume within the sample increases with electron energy. Thus, for any given material and imaging signal, there is an optimum volt age to achieve best resolution.In the case of organic materials, which are in general of low density and electric ally non-conducting; and may in addition be susceptible to radiation and heat damage, the selection of correct operating parameters is extremely critical and is achiev ed by interative adjustment.
