introduction one of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (oct) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of oct images. materials and methods the present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...

the present work is carried out to study the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of alstonia scholaris linn. ( apocynaceae ) using various in vitro tests including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (dpph . ) free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and ferric thiocyanate reducing ability.   ethanolic extract of alstonia...

Introduction: The CT machine utilizes a bowtie filter to shape the X-ray beam and remove lower energy photons. Configuration of this bowtie filter is complex and its geometry is often not available in detail. It causes the CT dose index (CTDI) be with the different values in measurement versus Monte Carlo simulation studies and other analytical calculations. It is important esp...

In this paper, a three ring-resonator serially coupled is considered as an optical filter. We are going to improve the performance of the designed optical filter by increasing the quality factor and finesse of filtered wavelengths. The first and last rings are coupled to the bus waveguides that carry the input and output fields. The effect of coupling parameters and ring radii on the filtering ...

slow sand filtration (s.s.f) is a main process in the water treatment technology and generally considered as most appropriate for application in rural and small urban areas in developing countries. however, performance of the s.s.f is very sensitive to high turbidity levels. therefore, pretreatment is necessary for such waters. horizontal - flow roughing filtration (hfrf) and direct horizontal ...

The present work is carried out to study the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of Alstonia scholaris Linn. ( Apocynaceae ) using various in vitro tests including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH . ) free radical scavenging, metal ion chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and ferric thiocyanate reducing ability.   Ethanolic ex...

In the paper, we give the concept of ¬-ideals dual to that of ¬-filters by using the operation ~ in SBL¬-algebras, and also show some characterizations of ¬-ideals. The relationships between ¬-ideals and ¬filter are investigated by the notion of the set of complement elements. It is obtained that for a ¬-proper ideal I of a SBL¬-algebra L, the set I ∪N(I) is the least SBL¬-subalgebra of L conta...

At present, the filter theory of $BL$textit{-}algebras has been widelystudied, and some important results have been published (see for examplecite{4}, cite{5}, cite{xi}, cite{6}, cite{7}). In other works such ascite{BP}, cite{vii}, cite{xiii}, cite{xvi} a study of a filter theory inthe more general setting of residuated lattices is done, generalizing thatfor $BL$textit{-}algebras. Note that fil...

Introduction:  Skin  sparing  is  one  of  the  most  desirable  characteristics  of  high  energy  photon  beams. However, the photons emerging from the target of linacs are contaminated by secondary  electrons  as  a  result  of  their  interactions  with  air,  collimators,  flattening  filter  and  any  other  objects in their path. This phenomenon tends to increase the skin dose received b...
