facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. in recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. as machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let $fa$, $fb$ be two ideals of $R$ such that $R/({fa+fb})$ is Artinian. Let $M$, $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove that $H_{fb}^j(H_{fa}^t(M,N))$ is Artinian for $j=0,1$, where $t=inf{iin{mathbb{N}_0}: H_{fa}^i(M,N)$ is not finitelygenerated $}$. Also, we prove that if $DimSupp(H_{fa}^i(M,N))leq 2$, then $H_{fb}^1(H_{fa}^i(M,N))$ i...

introduction: although patients do not experience sever pain after laparoscopic surgery, most of them experience acute or chronic pain afterward. while conventional pain killers including nsaid and narcotics in laparoscopic surgery have specific side effects, their application is inevitable. this study compares the efficacy of local anesthetic drugs and conventional pain killers in post-operati...

This paper denes and investigates the ergodic proper-ties of the entropy of a countable partition of a fuzzy dynamical sys-tem at different points of the state space. It ultimately introducesthe local fuzzy entropy of a fuzzy dynamical system and proves itto be an isomorphism invariant.

palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. in this paper, a new local descriptor, local composition derivative pattern (lcdp) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

‎Let $Omega$ be a class of unital‎ ‎$C^*$-algebras‎. ‎We introduce the notion of a local tracial $Omega$-algebra‎. ‎Let $A$ be an $alpha$-simple unital local tracial $Omega$-algebra‎. ‎Suppose that $alpha:Gto $Aut($A$) is an action of a finite group $G$ on $A$‎ ‎which has a certain non-simple tracial Rokhlin property‎. ‎Then the crossed product algebra‎ ‎$C^*(G,A,alpha)$ is a unital local traci...

it has been sugeested since long that peripheral nerves possess opiod receptors and this has tempted clinicans in adding narcotics to local anesthetics to prolong the analgesic effects of these solutions. in this regard, we studied 45 patients undergoing surgical procedures on upper extremities. the patients scheduled for surgery were divided in to three groups, each comprising of 15 patients a...
