An End-to-End Automated License Plate Recognition System Using YOLO Based Vehicle and License Plate Detection with Vehicle Classification
(2022-12-04)An accurate and robust Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) method proves surprising versatility in an Intelligent Transportation and Surveillance (ITS) system. However, most of the existing approaches often use prior ... -
Endless Stolen Sky

The "Endless Trip" among the NPS Users: Psychopathology and Psychopharmacology in the Hallucinogen-Persisting Perception Disorder. A Systematic Review
(2017-11-20)Hallucinogen-persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a syndrome characterized by prolonged or reoccurring perceptual symptoms, reminiscent of acute hallucinogen effects. HPPD was associated with a broader range of LSD ... -
Endogenous cholinergic inputs and local circuit mechanisms govern the phasic mesolimbic dopamine response to nicotine
(2013-08-15)Nicotine exerts its reinforcing action by stimulating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and boosting dopamine (DA) output from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Recent data have led to a debate about the principal ... -
Endogenous fibrinolysis - relevance to clinical thrombosis risk assessment
(2020-12-09)The development of an obstructive luminal thrombus is pathological and considered a failure of endogenous fibrinolysis. The consequences may be fatal, or result in lasting downstream organ damage. Therefore, assessment of ... -
Endogenous Fibrinolysis : An Important Mediator of Thrombus Formation and Cardiovascular Risk
(2015-04-28)Most acute cardiovascular events are attributable to arterial thrombosis. Plaque rupture or erosion stimulates platelet activation, aggregation, and thrombosis, whilst simultaneously activating enzymatic processes that ... -
Endophenotypes of executive functions in obsessive compulsive disorder? : A meta-analysis in unaffected relatives
(2019-12-01)Endophenotypes are mediator traits between genetic influences and clinical phenotypes. Meta-analyses have consistently shown modest impairments of executive functioning in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients ... -
Endospore heterogeneity in Pasteuria-Penetrans related to adhesion to plant-parasitic nematodes
(1994-11)Hybridoma cell lines were screened by indirect immunofluorescence for the secretion of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to the surface of a population of endospores of the obligate nematode hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans. ... -
Endothelial cell apoptosis
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)Endothelial cell apoptosis is an important process during vasculature remodelling, angiogenesis and inflammation. Medical interest in endothelial cell apoptosis as a target for arthritis and solid tumour treatment has ... -
Endothelial TRPV4 Dysfunction in a Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rat Model
(2017-02-09)Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia due to compromised insulin synthesis and secretion, or decreased tissue sensitivity to insulin, if not all three conditions. Endothelial ... -
Endotoxemia in end-stage kidney disease
(2015-01-08)Chronic unexplained inflammation remains a prevalent and clinically significant problem for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), especially in the dialysis population. The causes of persistent inflammation are ... -
Endotoxin detection in end-stage kidney disease
(2015-01-01)Aims: Endotoxin detection assays are not validated for use in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We investigated the accuracy and precision of the kinetic turbidimetric Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay to detect endotoxin ... -

The endpoint of the rp-process on accreting neutron stars
(2001-05-21)We find that the rp process in X-ray bursts and in steady state burning, for example in X-ray pulsars, ends in a SnSbTe cycle. We discuss the consequences for the neutron star crust composition an X-ray burst light curves. -
The Ends of the Earth : Nature, Narrative and Identity in Dystopian Film
(2013-12)This article offers a comparative ecocritical reading of two very different dystopian films: Silent Running (Douglas Trumbull, 1971), and eXistenz (David Cronenberg, 1997). In particular, it interprets these films – which ... -
The enduring scandal of deduction: Is propositional logic really uninformative?
(2009)Deductive inference is usually regarded as being “tautological” or “analytical”: the information conveyed by the conclusion is contained in the information conveyed by the premises. This idea, however, clashes with the ... -
The Energetic Cost of Activation of White Muscle Fibres from the Dogfish Scyliophinus Canicula
(1997)The energetic cost of activation was measured during an isometric tetanus of white muscle fibres from the dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula. The total heat production by the fibres was taken as a measure of the total energetic ... -
Energetics of Deep Alpine Valleys in Pooling and Draining Configurations
(2017-07-01)The Weather Research and Forecast numerical model is used to investigate the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer in a valley that opens either on a wider valley (draining configuration) or on a narrower valley (pooling ... -
Energy absorption and bending stiffness in CFRP laminates : the effect of 45º plies
(2008-07)The impact characteristics of cross-ply and angle-ply composite laminates were investigated, with an instrumented impact drop tester by performing gravity-assisted drop tests on [0/90]6s and [0/45/90]4s laminates. The ...
