In this work, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure, morphology, and optical properties of Cu-doped nanostructured MnO2 thin films were studied. The thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin-coating technique on glass substrates and annealed in the air ambient at 300, 350, 400 and 450 °C temperatures. The structural, morphological and optical properties of t...

Objective(s): Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity. Nanoparticles have enabled significant advances in pre-clinical cancer research as drug delivery vectors. Inorganic nanoparticles such as CdO/GrO nanoparticles have novel optical properties that can be used to optimize the signal-to-background ratio. This paper rep...

In recent years, change detection (CD) using deep learning (DL) algorithms has been a very active research topic in the field of remote sensing (RS). Nevertheless, CD developed so far are mainly focused on generating two-dimensional (2D) maps where planimetric extent areas affected by changes is identified without providing any information corresponding elevation variations. The aim this work i...

ZnO is a promising material suitable for variety of novel electronic applications including sensors, transistors, and solar cells. Intrinsic ZnO film has inferiority in terms of electronic properties, which has prompted researches and investigations on doped ZnO films in order to improve its electronic properties. In this work, aluminum (Al) doped ZnO (AZO) with various concentrations and undop...

in this article, a new method for fusion of high resolution optical and radar data for higher quality road extraction is presented. the proposed methodology consists of two stages of separate road detection from each data and knowledge based fusion of results. neural networks are separately applied on high resolution ikonos and terrasar-x images for road detection, using a variety of texture pa...

the quantitative analysis of cardiac motions in echocardiography images is a noteworthy issue in processing of these images. cardiac motions can be estimated by optical flow (of) computation in different regions of image which is based on the assumption that the intensity of a moving pattern remains constant in consecutive frames. however, in echocardiographic sequences this assumption may be v...

In this paper, the mer-Co(NH3)3(NO2)3 complex was used as a new precursor for synthesizing spinel-type cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4NPs).Thermal decomposition of the complex at low temperature (175 °C) resulted in the Co3O4NPs without using expensive and toxic solvents or complicated equipment. XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and TEM were employed to characterize the product, and its optical and magn...
