Object extraction from remote sensing images is critical for a wide range of applications, and object-oriented accuracy assessment plays a vital role in guaranteeing its quality. To evaluate object extraction accuracy, this paper presents several novel accuracy measures that differ from the norm. First, area-based and object number-based accuracy assessment measures are given based on a confusi...

the variants of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) and matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (esrd) and hypertension. we studied the ace insertion/deletion (i/d) and mmp-7 a-181g variants in 99 unrelated esrd patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from western iran with kurdish ethnic background. the frequency ...

germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...
