Most existing deep learning based methods for vessel segmentation neglect two important aspects of retinal vessels: The orientation information vessels and the contextual whole fundus region. In this paper, we propose a robust context entangled network (OCE-Net), which can extract complex from blood vessels. To achieve orientation-aware convolution, dynamic convolution (DCOA Conv) to with multi...

Chirality and chiral molecules are key elements in modern chemical biochemical industries. Individual addressing the eventual separation of enantiomers have been still important elusive tasks molecular physics chemistry, a variety methods introduced over years to achieve these goals. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that pair cross-polarized THz pulses interacting with through their permanent...

introduction: depression is one of the most common psychiatric problems. the prevalence of depression in iran has been estimated about 10-35% in females and 5-9% in males. nicotine is a narcotic substance and approximately 22% of american people are dependent on it. one of the notorious outcomes of nicotine-dependency is behavioral problems. the aim of this study was to find the relationship be...

Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...

objective: this study investigated the relationship between resilience and religious orientation (internal and external) with posttraumatic growth (ptg). this study also examined the impact of marriage and sex variables on growth . method: participants were selected based on prescreening of a larger group of students enrolled in the university of shiraz. participants were recruited in two stage...

introduction: in the past 2 decades, research findings established achievement goal theory as a powerful framework for conceptualizing difference in the quality of student’s engagement, persistence on task, and academic resilience. so the present study examined the relationship between achievement goal orientations and academic resilience. method: participants were 606 students (307 girls and 2...
