background: conventional tomography used for evaluation of the small areas of the jaws provides acceptable information. it has some advantages of availability, less radiation dose and costin comparison to computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct. double emulsion film usuallyused for taking tomograms requires less exposure than single emulsion film; on the other hand,the latter provides more sh...

scanning near-field optical microscopy (snom) is a member of scanning probe microscopes (spms) family which enables nanostructure investigation of the surfaces on a wide range of materials. in fact, snom combines the spm technology to the optical microscopy and in this way provide a powerful tool to study nano-structures with very high spatial resolution. in this paper, a qualified overview of ...

introduction: the conventional methods of dosimetry are not capable of dosimetry in such a small volume of less than one cubic millimeter. although the polymer gel dosimetry method based on magnetic resonance imaging (mri) could achieve three dimensional dosimetry with high resolution, a spatial resolution evaluation based on gel dose modulation transfer function has not been investigated yet. ...

Oil spills from offshore drilling and coastal refineries often cause significant degradation of coastal environments. Early oil detection may prevent losses and speed up recovery if monitoring of the initial oil extent, oil impact, and recovery are in place. Satellite imagery data can provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive airborne imagery or labor intensive field campaigns for monit...

the objective of this study is evaluation of topographic wetness index (twi) using attraction model in northern of fars province. the first attraction model was used to enhance the spatial resolution of digital elevation model (dem). in this research to estimate of value of sub-pixels neighboring pixels, touching and quadrant neighboring models were used. after manufacturing output images for s...

Urbanization is developing unprecedentedly on a global scale. One of the chief repercussions of urbanization, caused by man-made alterations in land-use/land-cover (LULC), is the formation of urban heat islands. Albeit, differences among landscape structures and its accompanied effects on the environment are mostly neglected. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to survey the variou...
