Keratoconus generates highly irregular corneal astigmatism. While age is well known to slow down the progression of keratoconic ectasia and tends to fix the subsequent irregular astigmatism, the natural onset of cataract contributes to further decrease vision in already disabled patients. To offer these patients an optimal strategy for cataract treatment, different options on how to manage irre...

Automatic lumen segmentation from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images is an important and fundamental work for diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. However, it is a very challenging task due to irregular lumen caused by unstable plaque and bifurcation vessel, guide wire shadow, and blood artifacts. To address these problems, this paper presents a novel autom...

Iran is the biggest pistachio producer and exporter in the world. Surely, one of the most problems of pistachio industry is Aflatoxin contamination in recent years that treated exportation this valuable crop. This research was done in order to evaluate Aflatoxin contamination in indehiscence and mechanical splitting pistachios of Ouhadi cultivars in Rafsanjan region. Treatments of this research...

A 46-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic with complaints of diplopia and esotropia in his right eye that developed after a car accident. The patient had right esotropia in primary position and abduction of the right eye was totally limited. Primary deviation was over 40 prism diopters at near and distance. The patient was diagnosed with sixth nerve palsy and 18 months after trauma,...

abstract background: primary cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare. case report: in this care report, we present the case of a 46-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphoma involving left atrium and interatrial septum, presenting as dyspnea palpitation and irregular heart beat. the diagnosis was obtained by transthoracic echocardiography and surgical biopsy with subxiphoid approach which revealed ...

Recently, animations with deforming objects have been frequently used in various computer graphics applications. Metamorphosis (or morphing) of three-dimensional objects is one of the techniques which realizes shape transformation between two or more existing objects. In this paper, we present an efficient framework for metamorphosis between two topologically equivalent, arbitrary meshes with t...

R. C. Buck fl] has shown that if a regular matrix sums every subsequence of a sequence x, then x is convergent. I. J. Maddox [4] improved Buck's theorem by showing that if a non-Schur matrix sums every subsequence of a sequence x, then x is convergent. Actually Maddox proved a stronger result: If x is divergent and A sums every subsequence of x, then A is a Schur matrix, i.e., It should be rema...

We present an efficient compression scheme for animated sequences of triangular meshes of the same connectivity. The proposed algorithm exploits the temporal coherence of the geometry component by using a temporal wavelet filtering. The quantization of the resulting wavelet coefficients is then optimized by a bit allocation process. This process dispatches the bit budget across the coefficient ...
