most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. to solve the problem, this paper utilizes zernike moment (zm) and pseudo zernike moment (pzm) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...

objective: poverty alleviation is an essential step to achieve economic development. this is why identification exercise is so crucial. traditionally, different aspects of insecurities have not be taken into poverty measurement. many types of insecurities have adverse impacts on household welfare. identifying vulnerability of household can serve identification of the poor households. methodolog...

a signed graph (marked graph) is an ordered pair $s=(g,sigma)$$(s=(g,mu))$, where $g=(v,e)$ is a graph called the underlyinggraph of $s$ and $sigma:erightarrow{+,-}$$(mu:vrightarrow{+,-})$ is a function. for a graph $g$, $v(g),e(g)$ and $c(g)$ denote its vertex set, edge set and cut-vertexset, respectively. the lict graph $l_{c}(g)$ of a graph $g=(v,e)$is defined as the graph having vertex set ...

objective: verotoxin is a member of shiga toxin family. this family contains ab protein toxins with an enzymatic (a) and a binding (b) compartment. cells that have receptor (gb3) are sensitive to cytotoxic effects of toxin. it has been shown that various tumor cells have gb3 receptor and are selectively sensitive to apoptotic effect of verotoxin. studies on tumor cell lines and laboratory anima...

in this paper, the optimum shape of tailor-welded blanks (twb) is investigated. the optimization is performed for two different case studies. the first example is deep drawing of a twb with dissimilar materials and uniform thicknesses and the next example is deep drawing of a twb with similar materials and non-uniform thicknesses. the effect of blank optimization on the weld line movement is in...

objective: today, special attention is paid to the use of zirconium dioxide nanoparticle (nano-zro2), a neutral bioceramic metal, particularly for drug and gene delivery in medicine. however, there are some reports implying that use of nano-zro2 is associated with cytotoxic effects like inhibiting the cell proliferation, dna damage and apoptosis. in the present study, we examined whether nano-z...

cancer is a major global problem and is the second leading cause of mortality in the developed countries.resistance to current chemotherapeutics and high incidence of adverse effects are the two principal reasons for developing new anticancer agents. phenylacetamide derivatives can act as potential anticancer agents. synthesis and screening of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-n-phenylacetamide derivatives in...
