Multiscale corner detection based on wavelet transform and scale-space theory by Gao, Xinting

“…In this thesis, we focus our research on the contour based corner detection (CCD) methods and direct intensity computation based corner detection (DICD) methods. Five algorithms are proposed, which partially or wholly solve three problems, i.e., (1) incomplete information; (2) delocalization; and (3) multiple responses to higher order structures. …”

Impact of plant practices on operational performance : a statistical analysis of data from a Canadian manufacturing survey. by Huang, Yun Bo.

“…The results also indicate that while usage of many practices can significantly distinguish MS groups from LS groups, there is a difference as to how every practice factor and individual practices contribute to plant performance improvement on the five dimensions. It was found that the quality-related practices are the most important ones for improving quality performance, manufacturing technologies are the most effective practices for improving cost & productivity performance. …”

An assessment of India’s energy landscape: 2008–13 by Deb, K

“…As the global economy spiralled into the worst financial crisis since the great Depression in 2008 (according to Nouriel Roubini, Kenneth Rogoff, and Nariman Behravesh, in a press release reported in Reuters, 27 February 2009), India seemed to be bucking the trend. A five-year average GDP growth rate of 8.6 per cent per annum (p.a.) over 2003–8, more than twice that of the world average of 3.8 per cent p.a., and a full percentage point higher than the rest of the non-OECD countries (7.6 per cent p.a.), had arguably set India up for what was expected to be a period of high growth, rivalling that of China. …”

Political strategies to overcome climate policy obstructionism by Srivastav, S, Rafaty, R
