The present study aimed to explore the stability, curability and sequelae of cases of Trichloroethylene (TCE) Hypersensitivity Syndrome (THS), and to investigate the causal allergens of THS. Two cases of THS were followed-up in the current study; both cases were healing following glucocorticoid therapy and were discharged >10 weeks prior to follow-up. A questionnaire investigation, health exami...

-The three-dimensional (3D) motion of a planar surface (or patch) can only be detected from the motion of its projected 2D contour or region image on the plane of vision. Acquirement of corresponding points is the most important procedure. In the past, many methods of how to find corresponding points were published frequently. Affine transformation is used for the matching work. By this transfo...

image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. in this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. this patch selection ...

Knowledge on how functional responses (a measurement of feeding interaction strength) are affected by patch size and habitat complexity (represented by refuge availability) is crucial for understanding food-web stability and subsequently biodiversity. Due to their laborious character, it is almost impossible to carry out systematic empirical experiments on functional responses across wide gradi...

introduction: antibiotic supplements are regularly used in neuronal culture media to control contamination however, they can interfere with the neuronal excitability and affect electrophysiological properties. therefore, in this study, the effect of penicillin/streptomycin supplements on the spontaneous electrophysiological activity of hippocampal pyramidal neurons was examined. methods: electr...
