Culture is a set of norms that a society or a group of people set to live peaceful life and every member of that group has to follow these norms. These norms changes with the passage of the time. The socio-cultural factors that exert their influence within a family structure are belief, values, attitudes, acculturation levels, socialization goals and practices for modeling behaviours, communica...

abstract the growth is a one of biological aspects of fishes and is a good index in order to determine of health of these population. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different color lights on condition factor and weight- length relationships (lwr) of rainbow trout. fertilized eggs of fish were kept under light conditions, 14h light and 10h dark for 5 months at seven light...

The VEIL system is pioneering two thrusts within the field of image understanding that until now have received relatively little attention. First, VEIL reasons at a semantic level about scene information, using a knowledge base that augments an original image understanding (IU) model (representing the output of a lower level IU system) with structural and functional information. VEIL can apply ...

This paper proposes VEIL—a novel, “plug-&-play” Virtual (Ethernet) Identifier (Id) Layer for below IP networking. The objective is two-fold: i) VEIL directly addresses the scalability, efficiency and reliability challenges facing the traditional Ethernet, while retaining its “plug-&-play” feature; ii) but perhaps more importantly, VEIL provides a uniform (below IP) convergence layer to support ...

In this letter, we propose a novel and effective haze removal method by using the structure-aware atmospheric veil. More specifically, the initial atmospheric veil is first estimated based on dark channel prior and morphological operator. Furthermore, an energy optimization function considering the structure feature of the input image is constructed to refine the initial atmospheric veil. At la...

The behavior of collections of oceanic bacteria is controlled by metabolic (chemotaxis) and physical (fluid motion) processes. Some sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, such as Thiovulum majus, unite these two processes via a material interface produced by the bacteria and upon which the bacteria are transiently attached. This interface, termed a bacterial veil, is formed by exo-polymeric substances (EPS...
