    Bij de N.S. bestaat behoefte om te beschikken over een nabootser van het transmissie systeem voor de overdracht van signaleringen en commando's (het N.S. Quiktrol-systeem). Dit verslag beschrijft de realisering van een dergelijke nabootser, m.b.v. een M6800 microprocessor en dan vooral de ontvanger schakeling.Applied SciencesElectrotechniekLaboratorium voor automatische verkeerssysteme

    Image processing techniques for harumanis disease severity and weighting estimation for automatic grading system application

    No full text
    Harumanis Mango is known as the king of Mangoes. It is very nutritious and rich with carotenes. However, many of the farmers and agriculture experts reported that they have problems in grading and inspecting the Harumanis Mango. Sometimes, Mango production loses its quality due to diseases that are not even visible to the naked eyes. Traditionally, farmers and agriculture experts will estimate the severity of the disease using their experiences. While for weight estimation, manual inspection was done by using a weight scale. This traditional method has its own drawbacks as it can lead to some errors due to inconsistencies made by human inspection. Furthermore, they are less efficient and very time-consuming. Therefore, an automated procedure that able to classify the disease severities and weight estimations would be much appreciated. With the aid of image processing techniques, diseases can be classified according to its scale, and its weight can be estimated. A number of pixels of Harumanis Mango will be used for classification. The analysis will be done by using the statistical method of regression. It shows that the accuracy of weight estimation is 72.25%

    LITERARY TEXTBY N.S. LESKOV AS A SYSTEM OF LANGUAGE MEANS

    The article gives a linguistic and stylistic analysis of N.S. Leskov’s fiction. One of the main ambitions of the author is to reveal the possible correlation between the language features of N.S. Leskov’s heroes and the Russian cultural tradition of the past. Some original and vivid examples of the speech of representatives of specific Russian professions and estates are analyzed as well as linguistic parallels between complicated church language and the writer’s system of stylistic devices are defined. We show new interlinks between historic, linguistic and literary aspects of the text and especially N.S. Leskov’s unusual world as a form of culturally-historically determined consciousness. We pay special attention to Old Slavonic «experiment» in Leskov’s texts and skaz , polyphony of names of his heroes and writers’ examples of folk etymology. We came to the conclusion that in The Notes of the Unknown different stylistic and linguistic devices are combined

    Western Eyes on the Latin East: The Chronique d’Ernoul et de Bernard le Trésorier and Robert of Clari’s Conquête de Constantinople

    No full text
    The article compares the narratives on the Fourth Crusade by Robert de Clari and the Ernoul-Bernard author; their similarities may go back to the cultural milieu of Corbie abbey, that was an important centre for the production of French historiography writtent in prose at the beginning of the thirteenth century. An appendix explores the status quaestionis about Bernard the Treasurer of Corbie abbey, whose name appears in the colophon of two manuscripts of the Ernoul-Bernard Chronique

    The resurrection of the author

    81 leaves ; 29 cmIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-81).In The Resurrection of the Author, Daniel Trainor-McKinnon supports a form of intentionalism by arguing that intentions and meaning are metaphysically separate from artworks. This form of intentionalism is what he calls externalist intentionalism, which is the theory of art interpretation that holds that intentions are often relevant (though not always necessary) to understanding artworks. Because it holds this, externalist intentionalism is an adequate response to both the anti-intentionalist objection that artists' intentions are inadmissible in critical examinations of artworks because they are external to those artworks, and the neo-Wittgensteinian intentionalist claim that intentions are internal properties of artworks. A consequent study of allusion shows that some features of art are dependent on intentions for their existence and correct interpretation, while a concluding section examines externalist intentionalism's compatibility with evaluative criticism

    An artificial intelligence system to model and guide chemical synthesis planning by computer: a proposal

    No full text
    One of the central problems in applying computer methods to chemical synthesis planning is Search Guidance. The ability of a chemist to guide an interactive computer in its search for syntheses and the possibilities for self-guidance in Artificial Intelligence programs are both limited by the form and content of the search information that is made available as the exploration proceeds. A system for Search Modelling is proposed in this paper which can augment existing systems for synthesis planning and serce to gather, analyze and amplify the information generated during controlled exploration. The search management model is specified in a simple descriptive form and two example models are included in the paper. The guidance of search using te information gathered is specified by a rule set in the simple syntax of Condition=>Action pairs. A chemist can interactively modify this rule set. Further, an advanced search model is presented which, by introducing the powerful concept of a Planning Space, allows the search for syntheses to go forward, backward and to leap into the middle under controlled conditions.Technical report DCS-TR-4
