sleep stages classification is one of the most important methods for diagnosis in psychiatry and neurology. in this paper, a combination of three kinds of classifiers are proposed which classify the eeg signal into five sleep stages including awake, n-rem (non-rapid eye movement) stage 1, n-rem stage 2, n-rem stage 3 and 4 (also called slow wave sleep), and rem. twenty-five all night recordings...

background:the diagnostic accuracy of frozen section as an important source of information in surgical pathology is important not only in the management of surgical patients but also as a measure of quality control in surgical pathology. in this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of frozen sections over a 6-year period in a teaching hospital in iran. methods: we retrospectively review...

Weichang’an (WCA) pill, a traditional Chinese patent medicine consisting of ten Chinese medicinal herbs, has been used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia for several decades. In this study, twelve bioactive constituents in the methanol extract of WCA were accurately identified since MS/MS fragmentation behavior of the references and the standards by using HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS...

ABSTRACT-Different evapotranspiration (ET) estimation equations having different accuracy with different conditions have been developed for ET estimation. This study will firstly focus on the estimation of 13 climatic equations of daily garlic ET estimation whose  ET is measured by lysimeter to provide information which can be helpful in selecting an appropriate ET equation. The paper aims at s...

This work assesses the overall reproducibility and accuracy of an x-ray computed tomography (CT) polymer gel dosimetry (PGD) system using a N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) based polymer gel and investigated what effects the use of generic, inter-batch, and intra-batch gel calibration have on dosimetric and spatial accuracy. Overall excellent spatial and dosimetric accuracy was found with this sys...

background and objectives: primary and secondary soil salinity is one of the main reasons of land degradation and desertification in arid and semi-arid zones. change detection of salt-affected soils, aides finding salt distribution and salinization trends. present study was arranged for monitoring soil salinity status of agricultural lands located on southern part of bakhtegan lake in fars prov...

Soil Salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. Preparation of such maps is useful for Natural resource managers. Old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. Multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. This investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...
