In fMRI, time courses with similar temporal "activation" patterns may belong to different brain regions (i.e., these regions are functionally connected, coactivated). A group of time courses (TCs) corresponding to a particular type of temporal activation pattern should be maximally self-consistent (homogeneous). We demonstrate that ordering a group of multidimensional fMRI time courses by a min...

Bottomland hardwoods are among the most diverse and productive forest ecosystems in southeastern United States critically important for provision of timber non-timber ecosystem services. Red oaks, dominant species this group forests, high ecological economic value. Stem profile models essential accurately estimating merchantable volume oak trees, which is also closely indicative total tree biom...

Abstract Increasing efficiency and productivity in the field of agriculture is important to provide sufficient food world’s increasing population. It monitor crops using image processing order realize these increases productivity. In with high quality accuracy, resolution images are needed. this research, a crop monitoring method for pecan nut trees was developed high-resolution video taken fro...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...

Trees can improve air quality, but at the same time, pollution might put them at risk. Plane(Platanus orientalis L) and willow trees (Salix babylonicaL) are important trees in the green space of Tehran. Plane trees in Tehran have experienced early autumn in recent years due to severe air pollution. The present study, investigated some physiological traits of these trees under study to determine...

In the past, we have developed and presented a Fuzzy Decision Tree, more recently followed by an extension called a Fuzzy Decision Forest. The idea behind the forest is not only to represent multiple trees, but also to represent test alternatives at all levels of every tree. The resulting tree is in fact a 3-dimensional tree. A twodimensional slice is equivalent to a single decision tree. The f...
