We introduce an image triage system which facilitates the collaboration of human analysts, augmented human analysts, and automated technology to efficiently and accurately classify a two-class database of images. The system iteratively allocates images for binary classification among heterogeneous agents according to the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) and combines the classification resul...

فاصله بین سقوط ایلخانان (736 ق) تا روی کار آمدن صفویان (907 ق) از پرآشوب­ترین و آشفته­ترین دوره­های تاریخ ایران است که عرصه را برای نضج و قدرت­گیری حکومت­های مختلفی در گوشه و کنار ایران فراهم آورد. جغرافیای سیاسی قبایل کُرد در غرب و شمال غرب که صحنه قدرت­نمایی آل جلایر، تیموریان، قراقویونلوها و آق قویونلوها بود از جمله حوزه­های موردتوجه و فعالیت حکومت­های مورد اشاره بود. پژوهش حاضر درصدد پژوهش د...

background: quorum sensing (qs) is a mechanism used by bacteria to determine their physiological activities and coordinate gene expression based on cell to cell signaling. many bacterial physiological functions are under the regulation of quorum sensing such as virulence, luminescence, motility, sporulation and biofilm formation. the aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize quor...

Neste trabalho é proposto um método simples e verde para a determinação do índice de acidez do biodiesel. A amostra é dissolvida em solução 1:1 v/v etanol:água, evitando a mistura tolueno:isopropanol:água (1:0,95:0,5 v/v/v) usada nas normas atuais. A titulação é realizada com uma solução aquosa de NaOH 0,02 mol L. O método foi comparado com o da ABNT NBR 14448, que é similar ao do ASTM D 664 e ...
