BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an insidious chronic condition characterized by restricted mouth opening. Prosthetic rehabilitation is challenging for OSF patients as obtaining a good impression requires adequate mouth opening. The aim of the present review is to systematically present the data from case reports published in the English-language literature. METHOD A comprehensive ...

Mashups have been defined in earlier development stages of the web. Their main motivation is to build new services from existing resources. This principle is still productive. Assumptions on what mashups take in, which interfaces and services they provide and where they are networked need an overhaul. Focusing on a reuse of resources exploiting all their affordances while opening wider ranges f...

We analyze 18 million rows of Wi-Fi access logs collected over a one year period from over 120,000 anonymized users at an inner-city shopping mall. The anonymized dataset gathered from an optin system provides users’ approximate physical location, as well as Web browsing and some search history. Such data provides a unique opportunity to analyze the interaction between people’s behavior in phys...

In this paper a novel approach for detecting the defects in weld radiographs is presented by using combinatorial morphological and statistical operations. The proposed method consists of several stages. The procedure first involves the application of wiener for noise removal and enhancing the original image. Then, the morphological opening operation is applied to find the fine interior segments...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for extracting human gait features from a walking human based on the silhouette images. The approach consists of six stages: clearing the background noise of image by morphological opening; measuring of the width and height of the human silhouette; dividing the enhanced human silhouette into six body segments based on anatomical knowledge; applying morp...

CO2 acts as an environmental signal that regulates stomatal movements. High CO2 concentrations reduce stomatal aperture, whereas low concentrations trigger stomatal opening. In contrast to our advanced understanding of light and drought stress responses in guard cells, the molecular mechanisms underlying stomatal CO2 sensing and signaling are largely unknown. Leaf temperature provides a conveni...

Due to architectural, mechanical and even structural considerations, in some cases there is need to create some openings in the composite steel shear walls. Presence of the openings can considerably affect the wall behavior. Therefore in this study, the effects of the opening on the behavior of composite steel shear walls are investigated. For this purpose, first an experimental specimen withou...

quality of service (qos) is an important issue in the design and management of web service composition. qos in web services consists of various non-functional factors, such as execution cost, execution time, availability, successful execution rate, and security. in recent years, the number of available web services has proliferated, and then offered the same services increasingly. the same web ...
