to study the effects of scale and tillage management on variability of soil properties in adjacent lands of different tillage type, soil sampling was performed linearly along contour line from the middle position of slope with 5 m intervals. in overall, 45 soil samples were collected from a field with conventional up-down tillage and 40 samples from an adjacent filed with contour tillage. soil ...

Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...

In this paper, a modified segmentation algorithm for printed Farsi words is presented. This algorithm is based on a previous work by Azmi that uses the conditional labeling of the upper contour to find the segmentation points. The main objective is to improve the segmentation results for low quality prints. To achieve this, various modifications on local baseline detection, contour labeling an...

the aim of this investigation was to prepare, characterize and optimize the aceclofenac proniosomes using central composite design and carry out stability studies. three independent variables selected were molar ratio of drug to lipid (x1), surfactant loading (x2) and volume of hydration (x3). based on central composite design, 16 batches of proniosomes were prepared by slurry method and evalua...
