Abstract Fingerprint image enhancement is a common and critical step in fingerprint recognition systems. To enhance the images, most of the existing enhancement algorithms use filtering techniques that can be categorized into isotropic and anisotropic according t...

Abstract Background HbA1c testing using EDTA whole blood as specimens is essential for monitoring glycemic control in diabetic patients. In the laboratory that total automation system, transportation process might be impact quality of result according to red cell sedimentation. This study, we aimed evaluate from sediment which happen system. Methods samples (n = 50) were mixed once and levels d...

Abstract HESS J1843–033 is a very high energy gamma-ray source whose origin remains unidentified. This work presents, for the first time, spectrum of gamma rays beyond 100 TeV from region using data recorded by Tibet air shower array and its underground muon detector array. A with an extension 0.°34 ± 0.°12 successfully detected above 25 at ( α , δ ) = (281.°09 0.°10, −3.°76 0.°09) near statist...

PURPOSE To evaluate a laser technique and manual technique to perform capsulorrhexis in cataract eyes. METHODS Anterior capsulotomy was performed with an intraocular femtosecond laser (LenSx Lasers Inc) in 54 eyes (FS group) and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis was performed in 57 eyes (CCC group). Circularity and area of capsulotomy and IOL decentration were measured using Photos...

Arginine (ARG) and its precursor citrulline (CIT) are popular dietary supplements, especially for the elderly. However, age-related reductions in lean body mass and alterations in organ functions could change their bioavailability. Pharmacokinetics and tolerance to amino acid (AA) loads are poorly documented in elderly subjects. The objective here was to characterise the plasma kinetics of CIT ...

to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation on quantitative and qualitative yield of soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research farm, university of guilan, during 2009. main factors were included four irrigation levels based on potential moisture 30-35 (i1), 50-55 (i2), 70-75 (i3) c...

Ictal-induced cardiac bradyarrhythmia and asystole is a rare phenomenon. The exact mechanism of ictal-induced remains unclear. It was postulated that stimulation central autonomic network during ictal episode may trigger an abrupt burst hypervagotonia. Prolonged result in syncope or death due to impairment cerebral perfusion. role cardioneuroablation (CNA) this condition has not been well-descr...
