There could hardly have been a more influential twentieth-century philosophical essay than Elizabeth Anscombe’s ‘Modern moral philosophy’, in which she condemned the prevailing and competing ethics of duty utility her day urged philosophers to abandon search for any general conception ‘morality’ favour return Aristotle’s particular focus on virtue virtues as powers or qualities good human chara...

3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones and their derivatives are synthesized via Biginelli routes involving an aromatic aldehydes, ethylacetoacetates and urea in one-pot procedure by using CdS nanoparticles as efficient heterogeneous catalyst in solvent-free conditions. Compared with classical Biginelli reaction reported in 1893, this new method provides much improved modification in terms of simplicity. The...

drought is universal phenomenon that can occur everywhere and can cause harmful impacts on human beings and natural ecosystems. thus, it is very important to study drought character ristics part of for water resources management. in this study, the standardized precipitation index (spi) is used for drought frequency analysis in isfahan province. after collecting the precipitation data in the pr...

during a survey on the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with walnut in sanandej region (kurdistan province, western iran), a population of paratylenchus labiosus was collected and identified morphologically. description, illustrations and morphometrics of the species are given and comparisons are made between it and some related species. paratylenchus labiosus comes more c...

In this work, we apply the independent component analysis (ICA) on the extraction of artifacts from the electrocardio-graphic (ECG) signals. ECG analysis is not an easy task when artifacts (electrodes, muscle, breathing, etc) corrupts the ECG, hiding important information. If the mixed signals in the ECG recordings (heart signal and artifacts) are statistically independent, the ICA can blindly ...

Image binarization plays a vital role in text segmentation which is used in OCR application. Binarization of text in degraded images is a challenging task due to the variations in colour, size, and font of the text and the results are often affected by complex backgrounds, different lighting conditions, shadows and reflections. A robust solution to this problem can significantly enhance the acc...

We present a language-independent method for automatic diacritic restoration. The method focuses on low computational resource usage, making it suitable for mobile devices. We train a decision tree classifier on character-based features without involving a dictionary. Since our features require at most a few characters of context, this approach can be applied to very short text segments such as...

Character recognition is a new research field in the domain of pattern recognition which deals with the style of writing. Some of the challengeable problems in character identification are changing in the style of writing, font and turns of words and etc. In this paper, the goal is Persian character identification using independent orthogonal moment as the feature extraction technique.The propo...
