among abundant image denoising methods proposed so far, the use of patchbased algorithms have attracted a lot of attention from image processingcommunity. although these methods are very powerful in presentation of highquality results, the impact of human visual system (hvs) is ignored in sole of them.in this paper the human visual geometry is used in preparation of a new method forimage denois...

Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing. The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with minimal runout. Rockfall hazard assessment involves complex definitions for “occurrence probability” and “intensity”. This paper is an attempt to...

The transition of nations to renewable energy sources is a fact, and the deployment (RE) projects has increased in last decades. uninhabited islets (islands) provides promising opportunity for low-carbon transition. Considering importance spatial dimension RE projects, this research, we identified ranked (UIs) wind farm South Aegean Sea, Greece. proposed methodology combines geographic informat...

Sustainable urban road planning should endeavor to meet current and future traffic-related demands achieve financial, environmental, social benefits, which is a complex interdisciplinary issue that needs consider various factors data. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) can provide reasonable solutions, some existing studies integrated MCDM with geographic information system (GIS) technology....

The 47,XXX karyotype is a rare sex chromosome anomaly. This karyotype is usually not associated with a characteristic physical phenotype. In the presented case, a triple-X girl patient associated with 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency is identified. The case was referred to the Endocrinology Unit at six days of age because of ambiguous genitalia. The karyotype in this case was 47,XXX, an unexpected...

In this work, the development of an integrated decision-making system for the assessment of cleaning interventions on marble architectural surfaces is presented. The suggested system resulted by the incorporation of a fuzzy logic model into GIS and its architecture includes: (a) a GIS based graphical user interface for features and attributes retrieval, management comparison, analysis and corre...

Under the background of rapid urban development and continuous climate change, frequent floods around world have caused serious economic losses social problems, which has become main reason for sustainable cities. Flood disaster risk assessment is an important non-engineering measure in prevention mitigation, scientific flood premise foundation management. This paper summarizes current situatio...

Coastal areas usually involves in several kinds of water use, such as agricultural, industrial, and drinking, which are needed to be considered as important in water management systems. There is a need to study the sustainable water resources management in different terms. A combined methodology, which considers the human activities, as well as environmental problems according to some criteria,...

Proof of authenticity of free hand drawings of artists is one of the major problems in history of arts especially with respect to unsigned works of famous artists. Usually the authentication is performed manually by experts based on a physical analysis of the drawing materials used, and visual inspection. This often leads to ambiguous results as the visual inspection is influenced by subjective...
