Today world's dependence on the Internet and the emerging of Web 2.0 applications is significantly increasing the requirement of web robots crawling the sites to support services and technologies. Regardless of the advantages of robots, they may occupy the bandwidth and reduce the performance of web servers. Despite a variety of researches, there is no accurate method for classifying huge data ...

It is proved that there exist subspaces of bipartite tensor product spaces that have no orthonormal bases that can be perfectly distinguished by means of LOCC protocols. A corollary of this fact is that there exist quantum channels having sub-optimal classical capacity even when the receiver may communicate classically with a third party that represents the channel’s environment.

A graph G = (V, E) is matching immune if there is no matching cut in G. We show that for any matching immune graph G, |E| ≥ ⌈3(|V | − 1)/2⌉. This bound is tight, as we define operations that construct, from a given vertex, exactly the class of matching immune graphs that attain the bound.

A stable cutset in a graph is a stable set whose deletion disconnects the graph. It was conjectured by Caro and proved by Chen and Yu that any graph with n vertices and at most 2n − 4 edges contains a stable cutset. The bound is tight, as we will show that all graphs with n vertices and 2n− 3 edges without stable cutset arise recursively glueing together triangles and triangular prisms along an...

Background and Objectives: Identification of surgical instruments in laparoscopic video images has several biomedical applications. While several methods have been proposed for accurate detection of surgical instruments, the accuracy of these methods is still challenged high complexity of the laparoscopic video images. This paper introduces a Surgical Instrument Detection Framework (SIDF) for a...
