A new method for measuring gravitational lensing with high redshift type Ia supernovae is investigated. The method utilizes correlations between foreground galaxies and supernova brightnesses to substantially reduce possible systematic errors and increase the signal to noise ratio. It is shown that this lensing signal can be related to the mass, size and substructure of galaxy halos and galaxy ...

image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (bm3d) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-d blocks for 3-d transform filtering. in this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...

objective(s): microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules.   materials and methods: in this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-l-lysine (pll). some of the aldehyde groups of the activated agaro...

BACKGROUND Magnetoencephalography (MEG) provides a direct measure of brain activity with high combined spatiotemporal resolution. Preprocessing is necessary to reduce contributions from environmental interference and biological noise. NEW METHOD The effect on the signal-to-noise ratio of different preprocessing techniques is evaluated. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was defined as the ratio ...

in current years, the application of biopotential signals has received a lot of attention in literature. one of these signals is an electromyogram (emg) generated by active muscles. surface emg (semg) signal is recorded over the skin, as the representative of the muscle activity. since its amplitude can be as low as 50 µv, it is sensitive to undesirable noise signals such as power‑line interfer...
