Terrain identification methods for planetary exploration rovers
… or rough surfaces. This thesis presents two methods for using on-board sensors to identify local terrain conditions. The first method visually measures sinkage of a rover wheel into deformable terrain, based on a single color or grayscale image from a camera with a view of the wheel- terrain …

Developing Event Identification Methods for Structured and Unstructured Data Streams
… from the availability of such data anddeveloping methods for detecting the occurrence of events from data streams, such as atext stream and a price time-series stream. Hence, we have explored event identificationfrom structured and unstructured data streams in the domain of finance. We employ the …

A forward model-based analysis of cardiovascular system identification methods
Cardiovascular system identification is a potentially powerful approach for intelligent patient monitoring of cardiovascular function. Rather than merely recording hemodynamic signals, the signals are mathematically analyzed so as to provide a dynamical characterization of the physiologic …

A review of human identification methods used at Salt River Mortuary, South Africa
Identification of deceased individuals is important in medico-legal investigations for many reasons. Unfortunately, many bodies remain unidentified in South Africa. The South African legislation provides a guideline for human identification processes to be followed at forensic mortuaries, …

Identification Methods That Achieve Parity for Students Underrepresented in Gifted and Talented Programs in Virginia
The purpose of this study is to investigate the identification methods that achieve parity for students underrepresented in Gifted and Talented (GT) Programs in Virginia. There are underrepresented gifted and talented students (GT) throughout the United States of America, including the Commonwealth …

Using Accumulation Based Network Identification Methods to Identify Hill Slope Scale Drainage Networks in a Raster GIS
The simple accumulation-based network identification method (ANIM) in a raster Geographic Information System (GIS) posed by O'Callaghan and Mark (1984) has been criticized for producing a spatially uniform drainage density (Tarboton 2002) at the watershed scale. This criticism casts doubt on the …

Genetic and ecological investigations of European populations of the pool frog, Rana lessonae (Camerano, 1882) with allied, osteological and species identification methods
Current identification methods for distinguishing north-west European brown and water frogs are discussed and tested, to allow the presentation here, of more accurate guidance on their separation. Novel methods for the identification of species and individuals including novel, non-invasive, …

Are human identification methods effectively utilised? a retrospective review of unidentified remains between 2019-2020 at Salt River mortuary, Cape Town, South Africa
… particularly in developing nations. Various identification methods exist ranging from visual recognition to DNA profiling. While DNA is utilised at Salt River Mortuary (SRM), there is slow turnaround and seldom feedback from the state laboratory. Thus in 2020, SRM began submitting samples for …

System identification of dynamic structural systems using continuous-time domain methods
Structural system identification is the process of deducing the properties of a structural system from its measured response to ambient vibration by fitting a mathematical model. The objectives of this study are to: (1) investigate the use of existing system identification methods, and (2) develop …

Identification of Critical Lines for Power System Operational Reliability Assessment
… transmission is crucial. Three critical line identification methods are developed. One method is based on large-scale sensitivity analysis when a line outage becomes unsolvable. The other two methods try to quickly identify critical lines with only measurable parameters.
