Recent Advances in Motion Understanding

Probably the most ambitious goal of Computer Vision is to build the universal vision machine, capable of guiding itself through arbitrary environments, recognizing objects along its path and reaching its destination, wherever that might be. In spite of this elusive goal, Computer Vision is a eld of research where enormous progress has been accomplished. In particular, the paradigm of Active Vis...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent Advances In Treatment of Acute Organophosphorous Nerve Agents Poisoning

Organophosphorous (OP) chemical warfare nerve agents mainly sarin and tabun were used during the Iran-Iraq war with high mortalities. In addition to atropine and oximes, the followings have recently been used successfully for the treatment of OP poisoning. 1. Sodium Bicarbonate: Infusion of high doses of sodium bicarbonate (5 mEq/kg in 60 min. followed by 5-6 mEq/kg/day to obtain arterial blood...

Recent Advances in Sawtooth Control

Important advances have been made recently in the invention and application of experimental methods to control the sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas. The primary means of control involves the application of either ion cyclotron resonance heating, or electron cyclotron heating, with resonance very close to the q = 1 radius in the plasma core. Reported here are experiments which have succes...
