Riassunto Il lavoro si inserisce nell’ambito degli studi sugli effetti a breve-termine dell'inquinamento atmosferico sulla salute. L’obiettivo è quello di stimare l’associazione tra alcuni esiti sanitari e l’inquinamento atmosferico nelle città della regione Emilia-Romagna e valutare se sia presente una eterogeneità degli effetti; gli inquinanti analizzati sono il PM10 e l’ozono. Nel presente l...

Background & objectives: Irrigation water quality is a critical aspect of agricultural production especially in terms of human health and the environmental aspects. The aim of this study was to estimate the level of surface runoff and groundwater pollution used in the production of agricultural products in the south of Tehran. Methods: Sampling points included 14 points of surface water collec...

purpose: labor market is one of the most important markets in iran as in many developed and developing countries. however, although attention to this market has always been at the forefront of economic planning, but in most cases, quantity matters more than quality in this market. it is also visible as regional differences especially the case in urban areas. therefore, the study of the quality ...

Carnivorous plants of the genus Nepenthes grow in nutrient-poor habitats and have evolved specialised trapping organs, known as pitchers. These are composed of different surface zones serving the functions of attraction, capture and digestion of insects, which represent a main source of nitrogen. To investigate the role of the glandular digestive zone in the trapping mechanism of the pitcher, s...

Determining cortical functional areas is an important goal for neurosciences and clinical neurosurgery. This paper presents a method for connectivity-based parcellation of the entire human cortical surface, exploiting the idea that each cortex region has a specific connection profile. The connectivity matrix of the cortex is computed using analytical Q-ball-based tractography. The parcellation ...

SAR image compression is very important in reducing the costs of data storage and transmission in relatively slow channels. In this paper, we propose a compression scheme driven by texture analysis, homogeneity mapping and speckle noise reduction within the wavelet framework. The image compressibility and interpretability are improved by incorporating speckle reduction into the compression sche...
