Standard practice in quantitative structural neuroimaging is a segmentation into brain tissue, subcortical structures, fluid space and lesions followed by volume calculations of gross structures. On the other hand, it is evident that object characterization by size does only capture one of multiple aspects of a full structural characterization. Desirable parameters are local and global paramete...

This paper reformulates a time-discontinuous finite element method (TD-FEM) based on a new class of shape functions, called complex Fourier hereafter, for solving two-dimensional elastodynamic problems. These shape functions, which are derived from their corresponding radial basis functions, have some advantages such as the satisfaction of exponential and trigonometric function fields in comple...

abstract nowadays, with the partial achievement of the global village together with the hegemonic role based on western technology, the culture and of course the style of writing of developing countries (like our own), are at risk of being threatened. in order to maintain their style of writing, these countries must analyze their style and with the help of pathology and by keeping it up to date...

A multiresolution image representation is presented in which iterative morphological filters of many scales hut identical shape serve as basis functions. Structural pattern decomposition is achieved by subtracting successive layers in the multiresolution representation. The representation differs from established techniques in that the code elements have a well defined location and size. The re...

in present study we studied using green routes for microwave assisted synthesis of alumina nanoparticles from aluminum nitrate. it was revealed that when plant extracts are used, no specific stabilizer is needed. structural characterization of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi-crystalline structure for two of plant extracts, other xrd patterns had no significant...

background and aims. because of increasing concerns about surgeries in the anterior maxilla, including implant placement, it is necessary to examine the morphology of the nasopalatine canal and its surrounding bones. this study aimed to analyze the shape and position of the nasopalatine canal and incisive foramen using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods. cbct images of ...

In spatial statistic, the data analyzed which is correlated and this correlation is due to their locations in the studied region. Such correlation that is related to distance between observations is called spatial correlation. Usually in spatial data analysis, the prediction of the amount of uncertain quantity in arbitrary 4locations of the area is considered according to attained observations ...

Multiscale methods which provide a decomposition of an image based on scale have many uses in image analysis. One class of such methods from mathematical morphology is based on size distributions or granulometries. In this paper a different type of image decomposition based on shape but not scale is proposed. Called a shape granulometry or shape distribution, it is built from a family of morpho...
