We analyze the quality of condensed text on LCD displays, generated with unhinted and hinted bilevel characters, with traditional anti-aliased and with perceptually-tuned grayscale characters. Hinted bi-level characters and perceptually-tuned grayscale characters improve the quality of displayed small size characters (8pt, 6pt) up to a line condensation factor of 80%. At higher condensation fac...

In many problems from different disciplines such as engineering, physics, medicine, and biology, a series of experimental data is used in order to generate a model that can describe a system with minimum noise. The procedure for building a model provides a description of the behavior of the system under study and can be used to give a prediction for the future. Herein a novel hierarchical bi-le...

Adding new corridors to a highway network represents a multicriteria decision process in which a variety of social, environmental and economic factors must be evaluated and weighted for a large number of corridor alternatives. This paper proposes a new bi-level continuous location model for expansion of a highway network by adding several highway corridors within a geographical region. The uppe...

This paper extends an existing cooperative multi-objective interaction programming problem with interaction constraint for two players or two agents . First, we define an s-optimal joint solution with weight vector to multi-objective interaction programming problem with interaction constraint for two players and get some properties of it. It is proved that the s-optimal joint solution with weig...

A 37 - year- old man came to the hospital with a history of penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma due to gunshot wound in 10 days before. He underwent laparatomy and hepatorrhaphy in that time and right sided chest tube was inserted. Chest CT scan revealed metallic foreign body in lung tissue due to bullet burst. Right thoracotomy was performed and metallic foreign body extracted from lung tissue

In this letter the performance of single burst-errorcorrecting (BEC) codes used over bursty channels is evaluated. The channel is represented by the Gilbert–Elliott (GE) model, which has been used by numerous authors to evaluate the performance of random-error-correcting (REC) codes over bursty channels. Recursive expressions are derived, which are used in evaluating the probability of a codewo...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

The Optical Burst Switching is a new switching technology that efficiently utilizes the bandwidth in the optical layer. The key areas to be concentrated in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks are the burst assembly and burst scheduling i.e., assignment of wavelengths to the incoming bursts. This study presents a New Burst Assembly and Scheduling (NBAS) technique in a simultaneous multipath t...
