We present a 2-D mesh-based mosaic representation, consisting of an object mesh and a mosaic mesh for each frame and a nal mosaic image, for video objects with mildly deformable motion in the presence of self and/or object-to-object (external) occlusion. Unlike classical mosaic representations where successive frames are registered using global motion models, we map the uncovered regions in the...

contact dermatitis is frequent skin pathology and eyelids are one of the more frequent locations of this pathology. the objective of the present work was to study the population distribution of periocular dermatitis, determine the allergens which most frequently indicate positive in patch tests and in provocative use tests, and analyse the clinical relevance of the positive tests. patients with...

contraceptive patches have become a frequently used contraceptive method. we present a mathematical model that describes the serum concentration profiles of norelgestromin (ngmn) and ethinylestradiol (ee) released from the contraceptive patch ortho evra®. we propose a simple one-compartment model based on pharmacokinetics data reported in previous studies. the model assumes a time-dependent rel...

Pepper lines L57 and L113 and cv.Pico are inoculated by 1, 5, 10, 25, 75 μg/ml cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in inoculum. Both lines are resistant to the virus and cv.Pico is used as a susceptible control. The lines respond with the development of chlorotic (L57) and necrotic (L113) spots on the inoculated leaf. The virus is established only in the inoculated leaves and their petioles of the resi...

Background: Various environmental factors can induce or exaggerate hand eczema. Objective: Evaluation of patch test results in hand eczema patients. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive study 100 patients with hand eczema referred to Loghman Hakim and Booali Hospital in Tehran underwent patch testing with 23 allergens obtained from Hermal company.

An image mosaic is a method of assembling multiple overlapping images of same scene into a larger one. The output of image mosaic will be the union of two input images. In this paper we have to use three step automatic image mosaic method. The first step is taking two input images and finding out the corners in both the images, second step is finding its matched corner and third step is its ble...

1. Arid ecosystems are a patch mosaic of plants and biological soil crusts that have been described as islands and mantles of fertility, respectively. To determine whether these patches are metabolically linked by a fungal network of dark septate and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), we measured translocation of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in a desert grassland using 15 N-NO 3 and 13 C 5 , 15...

Budding is a good method of propagation in the Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.)., However, success of budding is low due to higher root pressure as well as the presence of phenolic compounds in the xylem sap. This study was conducted to compare various budding methods and cut below budding union on two and three-year-old Persian walnut under field conditions. The experiment was conducted based...
