the overgrazing and excessive utilization of rangelands has caused vegetationand soil degradation in many rangelands. in the rangeland management, the soil andvegetation elements, environmental factors and livestock should be considered as decisionmaking agents. various methods are applicable for the rangeland restoration as contourfurrows and mortar stone dam. in order to evaluate the effects ...

Pressure monitoring systems influence the contour of the displayed wave-forms and, on occasion, can introduce significant artifact in the pressure traces. It is important to understand the technical details of invasive pressure monitoring to interpret better the information presented. Careful observation of the arterial pressure waveform can provide information about ventricular function, the a...

Pulse wave analysis permits non-invasive assessment of arterial elasticity indices. The contour varies in different parts of the circulation. It depends on physiological or pathophysiological conditions of the organism. The pathological events like arteriosclerosis or diabetes have a primary effect to the artery elasticity. Hypertension or some heart diseases also influence the pulse wave veloc...

Received Apr 8, 2017 Revised Sep 8, 2017 Accepted Sep 25, 2017 Some image’s regions have unbalance information, such as blurred contour, shade, and uneven brightness. Those regions are called as ambiguous regions. Ambiguous region cause problem during region merging process in interactive image segmentation because that region has double information, both as object and background. We proposed a...
