geographical, morphological and taxonomic status of pistacia khinjuk stocks ex stocks in iranwas revised. a total of 181 accessions (herbarium materials or specifically collected for this study) wereexamined geographically and morphologically. the chromosome number of 2n = 24, revealed among 15accessions studied, was taken as evidence to lump the variability observed in p. khinjuk as one taxono...

abstractalthough the biokinetics, metabolism, and chemical toxicity of uranium are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential toxic effects of uranium on reproduction and development in mammals. in recent years, it has been shown that uranium is a developmental toxicant when given orally or subcutaneously (sc) to mice. decreased fertility, embryo/fetal toxicity includ...

A current challenging topic in mathematical morphology is the construction of locally adaptive operators; i.e., structuring functions are dependent on the input image itself at each position. Development of spatially-variant filtering is well established in the theory and practice of Gaussian filtering. The aim of the first part of the paper is to study how to generalize these convolutionbased ...

__________________________________________________________________________ Existing vehicle license plate identification and recognition systems are potent for either their accuracy or speed but not a combination of both. The algorithm proposed in this dissertation attempts to achieve this fine balance between the accuracy and speed that such a system must posses. The mathematical morphology op...

In this morphology “glossary” are found examples of many of the items discussed in the body of this book. The collection was originally assembled for the Interamerican Division Regional Update in Leukemia course in Puebla, Mexico (Dr. G.J. Ruiz-Argüelles and Dr. E. Torré-Lopez). It has subsequently been used in Ankara, Turkey (Dr. E. Kansu) and Cordoba, Argentina (Dr. C. Ponzinibbio). Developme...

Computational morphology deals with the processing of words and word forms, in both their graphemic, i.e., written form, and their phonemic, i.e., spoken form. It has a wide range of practical applications. Probably every one of you has already come across some of them. Ever used spelling correction? Or wondered about some strange hyphenation in a newspaper article? This is computational morpho...

in this research the effects of crude oil on morphological and physiological characterization ofthe cyanobacterium microchaete tenera isc13 were investigated. isolated cyanobacterium treated with different oil concentrations (control, 1, 2.5, 5 and 7%) in carbonless bg110 medium. morphological characteristics such as morphology of filament, cellular shapes and sizes, relative position of hetero...

this project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in english as a foreign language by iranian speakers. results of translation and picture judgment task show although l2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in english, they were constrained by the m...

polymer-clay nanocomposite coatings have attracted much attention because of impressive enhancements of coating properties. in this research, both commercially available and isophoronediamine-modified montmorillonite clays were used to obtain epoxy-clay nanocomposite coatings. these nanocomposite materials with different clay loadings in the form of coatings were applied to cold-rolled steel (c...
