In this paper, the new challenges of 3DTV for subjective assessment are discussed. Conventional 2D methods have severe limitations which will be revealed. Based on the understanding of the new characteristics brought by 3DTV, changes and additions in the requirements for subjective assessment are proposed in order to develop a novel subjective video quality assessment methodology for 3DTV. In p...

Depth perception is one of the most important characteristic in three-dimensional (3D) images different from traditional two-dimensional (2D) images. Therefore, 3D visual attention will be advantageous to improve 3D visual experience and particularly depth perception. In this paper, we propose a 3D visual attention model for stereoscopic image quality assessment task. The proposed model is cons...

risk assessment provides the possibility of planning and management to prevent and reduce the risk of desertification. the present study is aimed to assess the hazard and risk of desertification and to develop management programs in the semi-arid western regions of golestan province in iran. desertification rate was obtained using the iranian model of desertification potential assessment. since...

In this work, we propose a comparative study of fatigue assessment artificial surface defects based on affected depth (AD). The defect is assumed to be void (semi-spherical, elliptical, or circumferential notches) the material subjected loading.

The depth of a burn wound and/or its healing potential are the most important determinants of the therapeutic management and of the residual morbidity or scarring. Traditionally, burn surgeons divide burns into superficial which heal by rapid re-epithelialization with minimal scarring and deep burns requiring surgical therapy. Clinical assessment remains the most frequent technique to measure t...

TWODEE-2 is a FORTRAN 90 code based on previous code (TWODEE). It is designed to solve the shallow water equations for fluid depth, depth-averaged horizontal velocities and depth-averaged fluid density. The shallow layer approach used by TWODEE-2 is a compromise between the complexity of CFD models and the simpler integral models. It can be used for forecasting gas dispersion near the ground an...

the pediatric risk of mortality (prism) score is a measure of illness severity based on abnormalities observed on bedside examination and laboratory assessment at pediatric intensive care unit (picu) admission to predict mortality probability. our study was performed on 205 patients who were admitted to picu of children’s medical center (cmc) over a period of 6 months.data were recorded prospec...
