abstract:   background: the most important and complex phenomenon of respiratory function of the nose is related to different nasal anatomy. the differences in facial anatomic structure between different races may also be reflected in nasal resistance and airflow. caucasians has different facial anatomic structure which is the reflection of intranasal resistance or consequence of airflow. the a...

sturge-weber syndrome (sws) is a very rare congenital disorder that is manifested by facial capillary malformation (port wine stain) which may be associated with capillary – venous malformations affecting many parts such as the brain, eyes facial skin and mucosa and also airways. in this report we present an unusual 28 years old female case of sws that presented with signs and symptoms of sudde...

This paper presents a new hybrid neuro-fuzzy model which is capable of learning structure and parameters by means of recursive binary space partitioning BSP. Introduction Neuro-fuzzy systems (NFSs) [1] combine the learning ability of artificial neural nets (ANNs) with the linguistic interpretation capacity of fuzzy inference systems (FISs) [2]. This work makes use of BSP (Binary Space Partition...

The use of visual sensors may have high impact in robotic applications where it is required to measure the pose (position and orientation) and the visual features of objects moving in unstructured environments. In this paper, the problem of real-time estimation of the position and orientation of of multiple objects is considered. Special emphasis is devoted to the case when two or more objects ...

This paper describes an adaptation of BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) to represent the spherical surface partitioning defined by a spherical map. This structure is used in a point location algorithm, also described here. All algorithms are exact (roundoff free) based on exact computation paradigm.

Partitioning a digital circuit into modules before implementing on a single chip is key to balancing between test cost and test correctness of built-in current testing (BICT). Most partitioning methods use statistic analysis to find the threshold value and then to determine the size of a module. These methods are rigid and inflexible since IDDQ testing requires the measurement of an analog quan...
