This paper presents an improved edge detection algorithm for facial and remotely sensed images using vector order statistics. The developed algorithm processes coloured images directly without been converted to grey scale. A number of the existing algorithms converts the coloured images into grey scale before detection of edges. But this process leads to inaccurate precision of recognized edges...

Terry Tempest Williams’s assertion that beauty is not something granted;rather, we must create in a broken world. What another time I might have dismissed as nothing more than rusting lawn chair, stand of brittle grass, or the moon tangled power lines compelled me to make beautiful images.

We study the unitarity bounds of the scattering amplitudes in the extra dimensional gauge theory where the gauge symmetry is broken by the boundary condition. The estimation of the amplitude of the diagram including four massive gauge bosons in the external lines shows that the asymptotic power behavior of the amplitude is canceled. The calculation will be done in the 5 dimensional standard mod...

In power transmission lines, it is necessary to isolate the inherent voltage parts from each other and zero potential. An insulator defined as having a high degree of electrical insulation between conductors brackets. Insulators also allow for mechanical conductivity conductor ground. The presence broken can alter stress distribution. this paper, effect cracking (chattering) on electric field i...

Contour line is the main linear feature on topographic maps. Extraction of contour lines is tedious and time-consuming process, and is still an interesting problem. A novel method for extraction of contour lines from paper-based topographic maps is presented in this paper. In our approach, we firstly segment color topographic maps for achieving the binary image of brown color contour lines. The...

Telomeres of Drosophila melanogaster contain arrays of the retrotransposon-like elements HeT-A and TART. Terminally deleted chromosomes can be maintained for many generations. Thus, broken chromosome ends behave as real telomeres. It was previously shown that gene conversion may extend the broken ends. Here we found that the frequency of terminal DNA elongation by gene conversion strongly depen...

two experiments were conducted to determine lysine (lys) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet was formulated to be adequate in all nutrients except for lys. incremental levels of supplemental lys were added to the basal diet generating six experimental treatments in a range from 0.60 to 1.20% digestible lys. birds were randomized acros...

Abstract Projective duality identifies the moduli spaces $\textbf{B}_n$ and $\textbf{X}(3,n)$ parametrizing linearly general configurations of $n$ points in $\mathbb{P}^2$ lines dual $\mathbb{P}^2$, respectively. The space admits Kapranov’s Chow quotient compactification $\overline{\textbf{X}}(3,n)$, studied also by Lafforgue, Hacking, Keel, Tevelev, Alexeev, which gives an example a KSBA stabl...
