A number of methods are presented for finding clusters in collinear collections of line segments. The methods are of two kinds merging methods and splitting methods. Both make use of an evaluation function, and several alternative functions are illustrated. The methods are evaluated using randomly generated clusters on backgrounds containing varying amounts of noise. Image processing Segmentati...

Liquid-liquid extraction is a typical multi-fluid problem in chemical engineering where two types of immiscible fluids are mixed together. Mixing of two-phase fluids results in a timevarying fluid density distribution, quantitatively indicating the presence of liquid phases. For engineers who design extraction devices, it is crucial to understand the density distribution of each fluid, particul...

The h-index is an important bibliographic measure used to assess the performance of researchers. Van Bevern et al. [Artif. Intel., to appear] showed that, despite computational worst-case hardness results, substantial manipulation of the h-index of Google Scholar author profiles is possible by merging articles. Complementing this work, we study the opposite operation, the splitting of articles,...

this paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for persian page segmentation. in the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. by high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifying...

Performance and utility of microfluidic systems are often overshadowed by the difficulties and costs associated with operation and control. As a step toward the development of a more efficient platform for microfluidic control, we present a distributed pressure generation scheme whereby independently tunable pressure sources can be simultaneously controlled by using a single acoustic source. We...

The aim of this study is investigation on effect of stem end splitting and Geranium essential oil on vase life on quality of cut chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum L.). This experiment arranged as factorial based on RCD with 2 factors of stem end splitting at 2 levels (with splitting and without splitting) and Geranium essential oil at 6 levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 %), with 12 treatments...

This project is a part of a larger one consisting of constructing a Miranda to 'C' compiler. This compiler is to be constructed by first implementing a Miranda-interpreter in Scheme, then using a partial evaluator to generate a Miranda to Scheme compiler written in Scheme, and finally generating 'C'-code from the Scheme-code. Vve will develop a theory for doing parameter splitting in a higher o...
