An unsupervised technique for building extraction in urban area is proposed, which is based on the use of morphological processing especially for building index. Extracting buildings is one of the most complex and challenging tasks as there exist a lot of inhomogeneity due to varying hierarchy. The variety of the type of the buildings and also the shapes of rooftops are very inconstant. This te...

Rapid urbanization and urban growth is continuing to be one of the crucial issues of global change affecting physical dimensions of cities. In this study, building growth change detection is investigated as buildings are one of the most dynamic structures in urban areas. The modified MBI is applied to extract building features to know how much area has changed. To accurate the position of build...

Beta diversity is one of most important features in community ecology. Indices for pairwise comparison of beta diversity have been extensively developed, but the ones specifically designed for multiple-site comparison of beta diversity are still limited. Currently, by compiling all the available metrics based on the previous literature, plus some new metrics developed in the present report, we ...

OBJECTIVE To validate a quality of life scale, EuroQoL, on stroke patients. METHOD 67 patients were scored simultaneously for EuroQoL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Barthel Index (mBI). Pearson test was used to correlate each scale. Additionally, 31 patients were examined by two independent evaluators on the same day through application of EQ-5D. Kappa statistics ...

INTRODUCTION The specificity of the emergency medical act strongly manifests itself on account of a wide series of psycho-traumatizing factors augmented both by the vulnerable situation of the patient and the paroxysmal state of the act. Also, it has been recognized that the physical solicitation and distress levels are the highest among all medical specialties, this being a valuable marker for...

Abstract Due to the relatively inferior dielectric constant, Sn‐based perovskites exhibit lower defect tolerance and insufficient shielding effect compared with Pb‐perovskites. Upgrading built‐in electric field (BEF) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be effective reduce large voltage deficit improve poor performance caused by low resulting from intrinsic of perovskites. Herein, 2‐methylbenzi...
