In light of the enormous investments for the sequencing of genomes and the subsequent development of pharmaceuticals, obtaining patents for these results is a major goal of companies working in this area. This article focuses on the present situation concerning the possibility to obtain patent protection for genome research results, in particular at the European Patent Office (EPO), in the US a...

In this paper, a special preprocessing operations (filter) is proposed to decrease the effects of noise of textures. This filter using average of circular neighbor points (Cmean) to reduce noise effect. Comparing this filter with other average filters such as square mean filter and square median filter indicates that it provides more noise reduction and increases the classification accuracy...

in this paper, using annular resonator we have designed an adding and dropping filter light based ontwo-dimensional photonic crystals. the shape of ring resonator filter adding and dropping that wehave proposed is race track. this filter has a hexagonal lattice structure of silicon bars withrefractive index 3/46 that is located in the context of air with refractive index 1. transmissionefficien...

in this paper, a novel matched filter based on a new kernel function with cauchy distribution is introduced to improve the accuracy ofthe automatic retinal vessel detection compared with other available matched filter‑based methods, most notably, the methods builton gaussian distribution function. several experiments are conducted to pick the best values of the parameters for the new designedfi...

background: in myocardial perfusion spect imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images materials and methods: a phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. about 1mci of 99mtc was injected into the phantom. images were taken from this phantom. some fi...

This study uses the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method to prioritize contracting methods determine most suitable contract option for water and wastewater projects (WWP). Content analysis, a two-round Delphi survey technique, series of validation reliability tests helped establish 18 key criteria FAHP analysis. Consequently, data collected from experts through pairwise comparison q...

In this paper, first we study the semi maximal filters in linear $BL$-algebras and we prove that any semi maximal filter is a primary filter. Then, we investigate the radical of semi maximal filters in $BL$-algebras. Moreover, we determine the relationship between this filters and other types of filters in $BL$-algebras and G"{o} del algebra. Specially, we prove that in a G"{o}del algebra, any ...

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...

In this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. Currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twomechanisms s...

Linux ooers a rich set of traac control functions. This document gives an overview of the design of the respective k ernel code, describes its structure, and illustrates the addition of new elements by describing a new queuing discipline.
