T-snakes: Topology adaptive snakes

We present a new class of deformable contours (snakes) and apply them to the segmentation of medical images. Our snakes are defined in terms of an affine cell image decomposition (ACID). The 'snakes in ACID' framework significantly extends conventional snakes, enabling topological flexibility among other features. The resulting topology adaptive snakes, or 'T-snakes', can be used to segment som...

Graphs with smallest forgotten index

The forgotten topological index of a molecular graph $G$ is defined as $F(G)=sum_{vin V(G)}d^{3}(v)$, where $d(u)$ denotes the degree of vertex $u$ in $G$. The first through the sixth smallest forgotten indices among all trees, the first through the third smallest forgotten indices among all connected graph with cyclomatic number $gamma=1,2$, the first through<br /...

Effects of Iranian Snakes Venom True Sea and Terrestrial Snakes on Some Bacterial Cultures

The antibacterial activities of eight snake crude venom (Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Pseudocerastes persicus, Pseudocerastes urarachnoides, Echis carinatus sochureki, Gloydius halys caucasicus, Naja (naja) oxiana, and two species of true sea snakes Enhydrina schistose and Hydrophis cyanocinctus) were assessed against five important standard pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, ...

An Algorithm for Finding the Smallest Set of Smallest Rings

This paper describes an algorithm which finds the smallest set of smallest rings of a ring system without the necessity of finding all rings in the ring system. The algorithm first finds the smallest rings in which unused atoms occur and then progresses to find the smallest rings in which unused edges and faces occur until the smallest set of rings required to describe the complete ring system ...
