In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...

Camouflage is perhaps the most widespread defence against predators in nature and an active area of interdisciplinary research. Recent work has aimed to understand what camouflage types exist (e.g. background matching, disruptive, and distractive patterns) and their effectiveness. However, work has almost exclusively focused on the efficacy of these strategies in preventing initial detection, d...

The aim of this paper is to derive (by using two operators, representable by a Jacobi matrix) a family of q-orthogonal polynomials, which turn to be dual to alternative q-Charlier polynomials. A discrete orthogonality relation and a three-term recurrence relation for these dual polynomials are explicitly obtained. The completeness property of dual alternative q-Charlier polynomials is also esta...

in this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and obtain related results. then we classify this notion according to level sets. after that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper k-ideals. finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

There are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. T...

We derive a posteriori error estimates for the discretization of the heat equation in a unified and fully discrete setting comprising the discontinuous Galerkin, finite volume, mixed finite element, and conforming and nonconforming finite element methods in space and the backward Euler scheme in time. Our estimates are based on a H-conforming reconstruction of the potential, continuous and piec...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.
