a study of substantial anthropogenic related pollution in the coastal samut prakarn province (thailand) was carried out focusing on the bang pu nature reserve (remnant mangrove wetland) using a remote sensing (geospatial) technique. statistical regression models were developed between biochemical parameters of sample point and related reflectance data obtained from satellite imagery (landsat tm...

in this paper, a new method is presented for the detection of defects in random textures. in the training stage, the feature vectors of the normal textures’ images are extracted by using the optimal response of gabor wavelet filters, and their probability density is estimated by means of the gaussian mixture model (gmm). in the testing stage, similar to the previous stage,at  first, the feature...

background: an early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxrd) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

introduction:  breast  cancer  is  a  leading  cause  of  death  among  females  throughout  the  world.  currently,  radiologists are able to detect only 75% of breast cancer cases. making use of computer-aided design (cad)  can play an important role in helping radiologists perform more accurate diagnoses.   material and methods: using our hybrid method, the background and the pectoral muscle...

introduction: seizures are symptoms associated with abnormal electrical activity in electroencephalogram (eeg). the present study was designed to determine the effect of absence seizure on heart rate (hr) changes in electrocardiogram (ecg). methods: hr alterations were recorded simultaneous with spike and wave discharges (swd) by eeg in 6 wag/rij rats as a well characterized and validated genet...

groundwater drought denotes the condition and hazard during a prolonged meteorological drought when groundwater resources decline and become unavailable or inaccessible for human use. the aim of this study is to identify the influencial factors on groundwater drought in hamadan- bahar watershed,iran, to understand the forcing mechanisms. the standardised precipitation index (spi) has been used ...
