wheat is grown on 6.2 million hectares under different agr-climate conditions in iran. of 6.2 million hectares irrigated wheat, khazar warm humid climate regions (gorgan, mazandaran and moghan) with 350 thousand hectares are the most important wheat growing areas of the country. productive and rich lands, high rainfalls and favorable temperature and light in these regions provide good condition...

3D building models are widely used in many applications. The traditional image-based reconstruction pipeline without using semantic information is inefficient for rural areas. An oblique view selection methodology efficient and accurate areas proposed this paper. A Mask R-CNN model trained satellite datasets to detect instances nadir UAV images. Then, the detected images directly georeferenced....

PURPOSE Quantification of the effect of O-MAR on decreasing metal artefacts caused by large head metal on metal total hip arthroplasty (MoM THA) in a dedicated phantom setup of the hip. BACKGROUND Pathological reactions of the hip capsule on Computed tomography (CT) can be difficult to diagnose due to different metal artefacts. The O-MAR algorithm deploys an iterative loop where the metal sin...

Phospholipid vesicles, also known as liposomes, were examined for their ability to act as a drug carrier to the brain. 9-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine (THA), a centrally acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, was used as a model drug. THA was encapsulated in dehydration-rehydration vesicles (DRV) composed of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and dipalmitoyl-phosphatidic acid (molar r...

Kristian Kjær Petersen, PhD Lars Arendt-Nielsen, Dr Med Sci, PhD Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction Department of Health Science and Technology Aalborg University Aalborg, Denmark T otal joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery is considered to be an effective intervention to improve function and reduce pain in conditions such as end-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA). In the United States alone, the num...

CONTEXT The two-incision approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA) has received increasing attention in recent years. However, the benefits of this procedure have been debated. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the two-incision THA technique compared to the standard anterolateral THA approach in a community hospital setting. METHODS A retrospective review of records from patients who had THA at Memoria...

BACKGROUND The optimal surgical option for patients requiring bilateral hip replacement remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare surgical accuracy; functional outcome and health-related quality of life; and prosthetic-related complications and revision surgery of a simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) with those of a staged bilateral THA with an interval be...

Accurate placement of components is imperative for successful outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although technology-assisted techniques offer the potential for greater accuracy in prosthesis positioning, the need for additional resources prevents their widespread use. The goal of this study was to compare primary THA procedures performed with and without intraoperative fluoroscopic g...
