This paper proposes structural features for content-based image retrieval (CBIR), especially edge/structure features extracted from edge maps. The feature vector is computed through a “Water-Filling Algorithm” applied on the edge map of the original image. The purpose of this algorithm is to efficiently extract information embedded in the edges. The new features are more generally applicable th...

An important aspect of distinctive feature based approaches to automatic speech recognition is the formulation of a framework for robust detection of these features. We discuss the application of the support vector machines (SVM) that arise when the structural risk minimization principle is applied to such feature detection problems. In particular, we describe the problem of detecting stop cons...

prolactin is mainly secreted by the anterior pituitary and is able to stimulate mammary gland development and lactation in mammalians. although prolactins share a common ancestral gene encoding, they show species specific characteristics and their efficiency may be different in various mammals. the importance of protein structures of all sequences of this hormone have been studied by various bi...
