Developing software for stand-alone environments requires the availability of an interactive test support at an early stage of work. But rough conditions close to hardware force the test support to be content with minimal assistance by infrastructure. Sash (stand-alone shell) is the test support for developing the CHEOPS-Kernel and is presented in this paper. Sash is based on a yacc-grammar and...

most of hazelnut orchards in iran have been established by planting native genotypes. to enhance productivity of these orchards, adapted and high yielding hazelnut cultivars are to be developed and released. to meet this quest, collection and evaluation of iranian hazelnut germplasm have began by horticultural crops research department, seed and plant improvement institute, iran, since 1994. ha...

in this study, ice-glazing process of frozen shrimp by chitosan was applied to protect the frozen shrimp from undesirable chemical and physical changes. the effects of 2% chitosan solution glazing on quality of whole, raw and cooked (without head, tail and shell) shrimps stored at -18±2ºc for 6 months were investigated and compared with water glazing, sodium metabisulfite treatment control. gla...

In this paper we propose a novel method for the construction of textural features which are invariant with respect to 2D Euclidean motion and strictly increasing grey scale transformations. Our approach is based on a group averaging technique with relational kernel functions. In order to allow for comparison the evaluation of our approach was done on two image data sets taken from the Brodatz a...

This study extended the computation of GLCM (gray level co-occurrence matrix) to a three-dimensional form. The objective was to treat hyperspectral image cubes as volumetric data sets and use the developed 3D GLCM computation algorithm to extract discriminant volumetric texture features for classification. As the kernel size of the moving box is the most important factor for the computation of ...

The response of vacuum to the presence of external conditions is the subject of this work. We consider a generalization of the Casimir effect in the presence of curved boundaries on which a sharp potential is concentrated. The profile of the potential is a delta function, which has some features in common with a hard boundary and some with a smooth background field. The boundaries investigated ...

This article introduces the Stochastic Texture Difference method for analyzing data at prescribed spatial and value scales. This method relies on constrained random walks around each pixel, describing how nearby image values typically evolve on each side of this pixel. Textures are represented as probability distributions of such random walks, so a texture difference operator is statistically d...
