Major challenges for automatic ship detection in optical remote sensing (ORS) images include cloud, wave, island, wake clutters, and even the Necklaces high variability of targets.This paper presents a practical ship detection scheme to resolve these existing issues.The scheme contains two main coarse-to-fine stages: prescreening and discrimination
ASDEX Upgrade is preparing a hardware modification of its upper divertor in order to study alternative divertor configurations, like the X-divertor (XD) and the snowflake divertor (SF), that are discussed as a possible solution for the power exhaust problem.Experiments characterizing the current upper divertor in single-null (SN) configuration befo
High-resolution digital elevation models (HR-DEMs) originating from airborne laser scanning (ALS) point clouds must be transformed into Culvert-modified DEMs for hydrological and geomorphological analysis.To produce a culvert-modified DEM, information on the locations of drainage structures (DSs) (e.g., bridges and culverts) is essential.Neverthele
Through an exploration of the comfort women system, this article analyzes how the female gender has been oppressed in history.It follows the story Mouth Protection of Akiko, the main character of Comfort Woman (1998) by Asian American author Nora Okja Keller.Keller is one of the first authors to write about comfort women, gaining publicity for this
The mainstay therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer is concurrent lamps chemoradiotherapy.Loco-regional recurrence constitutes the predominant failure patterns.Previous studies confirmed the relationship between increased biological equivalent doses and improved overall survival.However, the large randomized Footwear phase III stud
