In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...

Periodic noises are unwished and spurious signals that create repetitive pattern on images and decreased the visual quality. Firstly, this paper investigates various methods for reducing the effects of the periodic noise in digital images. Then an adaptive optimum notch filter is proposed. In the proposed method, the regions of noise frequencies are determined by analyzing the spectral of noisy...

This paper presents a novel microstrip low-pass filter with good performance. A complete detailed theoretical analysis for the proposed filter is given using equivalent circuit models. The proposed filter applying multiple cascaded modified radial stubs resonators provides a sharp cut off frequency response that has a 185 dB/GHz roll off rate. Also, U-shaped attenuators provide a wide stop-band...

Cardiac glycoside poisoning caused by ingestion of plant material is common in tropical and sub-tropical areas. In evaluating the use of the Abbott TDx Digoxin II assay to detect such cases of poisoning, we found it a rapid and convenient method for confirming the ingestion of glycosides from the plants Nerium oleander, Thevetia peruviana, and Adonis microcarpa, and from the toad Bufo marinus. ...

TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) opens a new era in spaceborne radar remote sensing [1]-[3], [9], [12]. Realized in the framework of a public-private partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH, a single-pass SAR interferometer with adjustable baselines in acrossand in along-track directions was formed by adding a second (TDX), almos...

I report how some adulterants affect results for drugs of abuse in urine as measured by Roche RIA, Syva emit d.a.u., and Abbott TDx fpia (fluorescence polarization immunoassay) for the following drugs: amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates, and phencyclidine (PCP). Sodium chloride interfered negatively with all of these drugs when assayed by emit and caused...

Background: Butterworth, Gaussian, Hamming, Hanning, and Parzen are commonly used SPECT filters during filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction, which greatly affect the quality and size accuracy of image. Materials and Methods: This study involved a cardiac phantom in which 1.10 cm thick cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μCi/ml (0.148 MBq/ml) 99mTc conc...

in this research, active capacitance circuit and the feature of negative resistance are analysed in details. also, a new active filter is presented based on active capacitance circuit. for simulations, we used matlab and advanced design system(ads). proposed active filter (rf) is a narrow band filter. the results of simulation shows some aspects of sustainability and low noise feature. the circ...
