This work presents a vision based system for navigation on a vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).This is a monocular vision based, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system, which measures the position and orientation of the camera and builds a map of the environment using a video stream from a single camera.This is
Abstract Background Some island nations have explicit components of their influenza pandemic plans for providing travel warnings and restricting incoming travellers.But the potential value of such restrictions has not been quantified.Methods We developed a probabilistic model and used parameters from a published model (i.e., InfluSim) and travel da
In this article we present a case study concerning a simple but efficient technical and logistic concept for the realization of blended teaching of mathematics and its applications in theoretical mechanics that was conceived, tested and FLASHLIGHTS implemented at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering (DICAM) of the Unive
The electromagnetic implementation of cloaking, the hiding of objects from Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil sight by diverting and reassembling illuminating electromagnetic fields has now been with us ten years, while the notion of hiding events is now five.Both schemes as initially presented neglected the inevitable dispersion that arises when a designed m
Recent high-throughput Hay bag techniques have generated a flood of biological data in all aspects.The transformation and visualization of multi-dimensional and numerical gene or protein expression data in a single heatmap can provide a concise but comprehensive presentation of molecular dynamics under different conditions.In this work, we develope
