coronary heart disease has been one of the main threats of human health. coronary angiography is taken as the “gold standard” for the assessment of coronary artery disease. but sometimes, the images are difficult to interpret visually because of the crossing and overlapping of the vessels in the angiograms. vessel extraction from x-ray angiograms has been a challenging problem for several years...

cosmic rays (cr) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. however whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. fu...

in this research, the effect of tension wood formation in populus nigra on its anatomical characteristics was studied. vessel element and ray frequency (n/mm²), vessel diameter and ray dimensions were measured in both normal and tension wood. furthermore, the formation of gelatinous layer (g-layer) in the fibers of tension wood was studied. the results showed that the vessel proportion and diam...

background: in most of defecography films, the symphysis pubis is obscured, especially in obese patients, and the parameters will change in values if x-ray is interpreted by different reviewers or if the patient changes his/her position between the phases. this study was carried out to determine how to do the defecography to obtain fixed parameters. â  methods: eighty patients that had been can...
