according to importance of environmental resource in natural ecosystem preservation and human life, restriction of destruction is necessary. miankaleh wetland in mazandaran province is settlement of animal and herbaceous rare species and due to migration of birds therefore, this research will discuss determination of preservation value in miankaleh international wetland and measure of individua...

although individuals knowledge and awareness toward natural resources, especially wetlands had been increased but still social consideration level toward wetland importance, functions and sensitivity are low. considerable amount of wetlands destruction caused by miscalculation of wetlands functions’ values in a market condition. estimating the value of wetland’s function is a way in order to un...

Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...

We present, in this work, a new system of Near-Infrared capture that aims to eliminate ambient light effects. We designed this sensor to be integrated into the mobile platform VINSI. One of the originalities of this sensor is that we can acquire two images at the same time: one in infrared and the other in visible light. We developed a novel method for landmark detection of sufficiently low com...

Introduction: Ability to reconstruct the papilla in anterior maxilla is important aspect of perio-plastic surgery. In most articles, connective tissue is used with different designs of incisions. The aim of this study was to use sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with two types of incisions called papilla preservation and semilunar. Materials & Methods: This basic randomized clinica...

Organization modeling is recognized as an essential mechanism for structuring the design of Multi-Agent Systems and coordinating their executions. In this paper, an organizational model for Cooperative Information Gathering Systems (CIGS) is proposed. This model has three levels of abstraction, starting with a general system description and progressively transformed onto a concrete organization...

This paper describes a novel method that enables users to teach systems the phoneme sequences of new words through speech interaction. Using the method, users can correct mis-recognized phoneme sequences incrementally by making corrective utterances. Each corrective utterance may include the whole or a segment of the word. During the interaction, if the correction using the utterance results in...
