3D Curvelet-Based Segmentation and Quantification of Drusen in Optical Coherence Tomography Images by M. Esmaeili, A. M. Dehnavi, H. Rabbani

“…The proposed algorithm consists of three parts: (1) preprocessing, which includes creating binary mask and removing possible highly reflective posterior hyaloid that is used in accurate detection of inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction layer and Bruch’s membrane (BM) retinal layers; (2) coarse segmentation, in which 3D curvelet transform and graph theory are employed to get the possible candidate drusenoid regions; (3) fine segmentation, in which morphological operators are used to remove falsely extracted elongated structures and get the refined segmentation results. …”

Old Vilnius in the Perspektive of Nations' Historical Consciousness by Alfredas Bumblauskas

“…We also could discuss new preconditions for the perspectives of historical consciousness of Lithuanian Poles (for example: introduction of the Polish-speaking nobility into the 19th-century Lithuanian society, theory of Europeanisation). These premises allow us to form insights on the perspective of Lithuanian Poles' historical consciousness.   …”

Evaluation on Braking Stability of Autonomous Vehicles Running along Curved Sections Based on Asphalt Pavement Adhesion Properties by Binshuang Zheng, Xiaoming Huang, Junyao Tang, Jiaying Chen, Runmin Zhao, Zhengqiang Hong, Tao Tang, Meiling Han

“…Thereafter, the power spectral density (PSD) of the road surface was calculated by MATLAB to obtain the pavement adhesion coefficient curves based on the Persson friction theory model under different road conditions. Considering the pavement adhesion characteristics, the braking model of autonomous vehicles was built in Simulink, and then, the braking performance on curved sections was analyzed with CarSim/Simulink cosimulation. …”
