Occlusion is the most common reason for lowered recognition yield in free-flow license-plate reading systems. (Non-)occluded characters can readily be learned in separate neural networks but not together. Even a small proportion of occluded characters in the training set will already significantly reduce the overall recognition yield. This paper shows that a modular network can handle a realistic

Offenders who target children are a negative phenomenon in our society. These offenders are often seen as the worst of the worst of criminals and are therefore a priority for investigators trying to solve these crimes as fast as possible. The purpose of this thesis is to see if there are common denominators among these offenders in their modus operandi (MO) and their spatial patterns. If similar p

Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of retail supply chains, where improvements can be achieved through the adaptation and development of the concept of packaging logistics. In order to enable these improvements, models are needed that facilitate evaluations along the supply chain and show the activities involved in the packaging logistics process. The knowledge

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växter kan tillgodogöra sig en större del av det fosfor som finns i marken än endast det som är mest lättillgängligt. De olika fosforformerna är starkt kopplade till varandra och om fosforn tycks fördela sig mellan dessa. Många extraherbara fosfor fraktioner är väl korrelerade till varandra. Hur mycket fosfor som är tillgängligt för växter är svårt att uppskatta, det vaThe P availability and solubility differ between soils and plants seem to have different ways of utilising the P present. The many P fractions present in soil interact and are closely related to another and transformations may easily occur. Due to this more P than the soluble fraction is available to plants. Different plant species utilise the P in soil differently; the relationship between the pl

Con el término “globalización”, se hace referencia “al pro-ceso de cambio según el cual estados y sociedades del todo el planeta se conectan a través de relaciones recíprocas de dependen-cia.” El término proviene de la palabra ”global” del latín ”globus”, que significa esfera o bola. Normalmente se usa el término para hacer referencia a procesos socioeconómicos internacionales en el marco del capi

Plants like all other eukaryotic organisms carry most of their DNA in the nucleus. In addition, plants also have both chloroplasts and mitochondria that contain their own genetic material. The genomes in chloroplasts and mitochondria control certain vital processes, but most often the organelles act under strict nuclear control. Usually the nuclear and organellar genomes live in "harmony", promoti
