fish larvae have several sensory systems that are functional at or soon after hatching and then are developed further during larval and juvenile stages. this study was conducted to investigate development of the eye in rutilus kutum , based on histological and allometric growth analysis during early developmental stages up to 35 day post hatching with emphasis on retinal morphology. for this pu...

In this chapter we present an overview of the SERENITY approach. We describe the SERENITY model of secure and dependable applications and show how it addresses the challenge of developing, integrating and dynamically maintaining security and dependability mechanisms in open, dynamic, distributed and heterogeneous computing systems and in particular Ambient Intelligence scenarios. We describe th...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of levodopa-carbidopa on improvement of visual acuity, color vision, and visual field in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (naion) with onset less than 6 wks. methods: in this double-blind randomized controlled trial, 13 patients were treated with levodopa-carbidopa and 12 patients were treated with placebo for 3 weeks. after 6 months,...

where xi,yi,zi represent the projective coordinates of a point p in the image space and Xw,Yw,Zw,1 represent the projective coordinates of a point P in world coordinates. The actual pixel location of the projected point p denoted (x,y) is ( xi zi , yi zi ). In (1), Mint and Mext are the projection matrices containing the parameters of the projection for the current camera system. Mint is termed...

New information technologies such as distributed computing systems and the National Information Infrastructure have brought the integration for global enterprises closer to being a reality. These technologies and standards alone, however, are not sufficient to effect scalability, adaptability, and usability of integrated enterprise information systems, without which the integration can collapse...

In contrast to the traditional approach, visual recognition is formulated as one of matching appearance rather than shape. For any given robot vision task, all possible appearance variations de ne its visual workspace. A set of images is obtained by coarsely sampling the workspace. The image set is compressed to obtain a low-dimensional subspace, called the eigenspace, in which the visual works...

this article aims at strategic vision to technology and suggests a strategic planning for this purpose. the main emphasis in this article is on strategic report compilation in the framework of strategic vision and covers issues such as identification of strategic planning dimensions and strategic vision levels, technology priority setting, environment monitoring, focus on costumer needs, method...

Background: Color vision has an important role in daily activities and also learning special talents in different jobs, especially in the field of medicine. However, they are many people all over the world that has no insight into their color blindness and choose the study fields that are completely dependent on vision. Due to the importance of color vision in the field of medicine, we conducte...
