ABSTRACT- The high production of orange fruit in Iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. This study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. The hardware consisted of two units. An image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. The second unit consisted of a robotic...

Kernelized sorting is a method for aligning objects across two domains by considering within-domain similarity, without need to specify cross-domain similarity measure. In this paper we present the Convex Sorting where, unlike in previous approaches, object matching formulated as convex optimization problem, leading simpler and global optimum solution. Our outputs soft alignments between object...

Sorting nexins are a large family of phox-homology-domain-containing proteins that have been implicated in the control of endosomal sorting. Sorting nexin-1 is a component of the mammalian retromer complex that regulates retrieval of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. In yeast, retromer is composed of Vps5p (the orthologue of sorting n...

pistachio nuts are the major non-oil export agricultural commodity in iran. the existence of empty shells among the shells with kernels reduces the quality of the nuts and, consequently, their market value. in pistachio processing plants, empty shells are generally separated from shells with kernels by the flotation method. but this method is not precise and may encourage the growth of fungi in...

ion in the WAIS Similarities Test. Object Sorting Experiments I and II investigate the effect of association upon abstraction in the BRL Object Sorting Test. Object Sorting Experiment III investigates the effect of association upon the conceptual organization of recall in the BRL. The data for these experiments were gathered in the following order: (a) Similarities Experiment I and Object Sorti...
