Quality control of textile products is an important stage in textile industries. To this end, the conventional method in fault detection is human inspection. In the present work, Wavelet transform was applied on images of simple circular knitted fabrics to diagnose five regular defects. The results showed that the method applied was accurate and fast in addition to being capable of determining ...

Background and objectives: Variation of active substances in medicinal plants during growth has been studied and the optimum harvest time has been determined for many medicinal plants. Ducrosi anethifolia is one the species belonging to Apiaceae family that has been used to improve the odor of food and drink. It is used also to treat catarrh, headache and backache in f...

A wide range of medicinal plant parts that possess varied medicinal properties are used for extracts as raw drugs. In this study, the ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) seedlings was evaluated in vitro to examine their antimicrobial activity against four Gram-negative and three Gram-positive bacteria and two fungi. Aerial parts of one-month-old see...

Diffusion- and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI and PWI) was applied for stroke diagnose in 120 acute (< 48 h) ischemic stroke patients. At hyperacute (< 6 h) stage, it is difficult to find out the infarction zone in conventional T1 or T2 image, but it is easy in DWI, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map; when at 3-6-hour stage it is also easy in PWI, cerebral blood flow (...

Introduction: Rathke cleft cysts (RCC’s) are cystic sellar and supra sellar benign lesions which are thought to originate from the remnants of Rathke’s pouch. There are no specific clinical or radiological signs to differentiate them from other pituitary lesions. Presentation of Case: We report a 25-year-old female presented with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disorder, with the preliminary ...

Clinical type 1 diabetes is preceded by an asymptomatic phase that can be identified by serum islet autoantibodies. This perspective proposes that there is now sufficient evidence to allow a broader use of islet autoantibodies as biomarkers to diagnose type 1 diabetes that is already at an asymptomatic stage, so that attempts to prevent clinical hyperglycemia become a feature of disease managem...

Abstract This manuscript describes the proprietary method of diagnosing one-way clutches Mi-24 at their earlier wearing stage, which is challenging to diagnose with traditional methods (vibroacoustic). The FAM-C based on analysis frequency modulation on-board generator driven from examined power unit. It enables observe influence other mechanical elements operation this clutch: it monitors all ...

Diabetic Retina (DR), a problem of formation of blood clot must be diagnosed at an early stage for laser therapy. A number of automated diagnosis methods based on image segmentation of fundus image is present which can diagnose DR at late mild proliferative stage. Proposed work is aimed to detect DR at early mild proliferative stage. Method uses feature extraction of fundus image using 2D Gabor...
