Segmentation of digital image plays a major role in computer visualization. It is used to extract meaningful objects that exist on the images. Region based clustering is done to extract objects based on the colors present in the satellite images. The principle of clustering is to identify the similar domains from a huge data set to produce an accurate representation of the image. In this paper,...

Breivoll Inspection Technologies (BIT) has successfully developed and implemented a new in-pipe inspection method for the condition assessment of metallic water mains, mainly cast iron. The method is based on Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART). The inspection data (acoustic signals) are stored on a hard drive prior to undertaking the detailed analysis back at the office. The assessment results...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the age -related improvement of defecation function in high type anorectal malformation in relation to the assessment of the internal anal sphincter. the function of defecation was studied every 5 years up to 15 years postoperatively according to the japanese scoring system in our hospital in 50 patients operated for high type (recto-urethral fistula)...

background: given the importance of adolescents’ health in establishing health in the newly thriving generation of every society, the first step for adolescents’ health promotion is health needs assessment. the present study was, therefore, conducted to design a valid and reliable scale for health needs assessment of male adolescents. methods: this is an exploratory sequential mixed method stud...

variation of the branches of the external carotid artery (eca) is well known, but it is extremely rare for the occipital artery (oa) to arise from the internal carotid artery (ica). a 87-year-old man was found to have this anatomical variation on the right side by threedimensional computed tomography angiography for vascular mapping of the carotid arteries before superselective intra-arterial c...

Globalization of health care seems to be irreversible and beyond cultural differences and local realities; consequently, medical education needs to have a common set of core principles or standards that may be applied worldwide. The aim of participating in assessment processes is to guarantee that medical education takes place in a sufficiently rich environment to promote extensive academic pur...

The aim of this paper is to extend a hybrid protection plan for Power Transformer (PT) based on MRA-KSIR-SSVM. This paper offers a new scheme for protection of power transformers to distinguish internal faults from inrush currents. Some significant characteristics of differential currents in the real PT operating circumstances are extracted. In this paper, Multi Resolution Analysis (MRA) is use...
