A new synergetic model based on a pulse neural network and the Perona-Malik anisotropic diffusion algorithm is introduced. The proposed model was developed because of the failure of conventional edge detectors to perform the extraction of geometric structures from low contrast edges and noisy assumed uniform regions. The synergetic model is a variation of the Perona-Malik algorithm that incorpo...

Cooperators forgo their own interests to benefit others. This reduces their fitness and thus cooperators are not likely to spread based on natural selection. Nonetheless, cooperation is widespread on every level of biological organization ranging from bacterial communities to human society. Mathematical models can help to explain under which circumstances cooperation evolves. Evolutionary game ...

In the field of parallel programming we notice a considerable lack of efficient on-line tools for debugging, performance analysis etc. This is due to the fact that the construction of those tools must be based on a complicated software infrastructure. In the case of such software being available tools from different vendors are almost always incompatible as they use proprietary implementations ...

BACKGROUND Macrophage cells differentiate into killer macrophages, named M1 macrophages, that effectively eliminate cancer cells by generating cytokines. We examined the feasibility of a lung cancer therapy using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which triggers this differentiation. It is expected that the delivery via inhalation of LPS directly into the lungs, where alveolar macrophages reside abundan...

This paper presents a novel optical-electronic shape recognition system based on synergetic associative memory. Our shape recognition system is composed of two parts: the first one is feature extraction system (FES); the second is synergetic pattern recognition system (SPRS). Hough transform is proposed for feature extraction of unrecognized object, with the effects of reducing dimensions and f...

Cu and Fe co-doping effect on the structural, optical energy band gap, catalytic performance as well recycling stability of Co 3 O 4 NCs their synergetic influence in toluene deep oxidation via intrafacial process is established.

Nontoxic prodrugs, especially activated by tumor microenvironment, are urgently required for reducing the side effects of cancer therapy. And combination of chemo-photodynamic therapy prodrugs show effectively synergetic therapeutic efficiency, however, this goal has not been achieved in a single molecule. In this work, we developed a mitochondrial-targeted prodrug PNPS for near infrared (NIR) ...

teachers’ verbal behavior is a key contributor to provision of appropriate indirect intervention in language learning contexts; however, it is surprising that professionals in elt, to date, have not proposed a structured oral/verbal framework to deliver intervention and assistance in language learning contexts. to help redress this gap, heron’s six-category intervention analysis was adapted to ...
