Similar smoothing effect can be achieved by using spatial filters (spatial masks‚ kernels‚ templates‚ or windows). We discussed that a spatial filter consists of a neighborhood and a pre-defined operation performed on the image pixels defining the neighborhood. The

1. This problem is in reference to students who may or may not take advantage of the opportunities provided in QMB such as homework. Some of the students pass the course‚ and some of them do not pass. Research indicates that 40% of the students do the assigned homework. Of the students who do homework‚ there is an 80% chance they will pass the course. The probability of not passing if the student does not do the home work is 90%. What is the probability of a student not doing homework or

this circuit only tells us when the tank is full with a beep sound. It is built around two BC547 transistors (T1 and T2) and two timer 555 ICs(IC1 and IC2). Both IC1 and IC2 are wired in a stable multi vibrator mode. Timer IC1 produces low frequency‚ while timer IC2 produces high frequency. As a result‚ a beeping tone is generated when the liquid tank is full. Initially‚ when the tank is empty‚ transistor T1 does not conduct. Consequently‚ transistor T2 conducts and pin 4 of IC1 is low. This low voltage
