According to the energy crisis in the world, optimization of energy consumption is indispensable. Technological advances in constructions and application of renewable energy resources demand saving energy. Atrium, as one of the construction elements, catches sufficient daylight and acts as a passive solar element and results in a decline of energy consumption. This research seeks to evalu...

the first step in evaluating the visual performance and energy efficiency provided by daylight, requires an accurate estimation of the amount of daylight entering a building. the atrium concept allows the exploitation of daylight by bringing natural light into the center of the buildings, thus enhancing even a more distribution of daylight. daylight reception through an atrium is particularly b...

Left atrium segmentation and the extraction of its geometry remains a challenging problem despite of existing approaches. It is a clinically-relevant important problem with an increasing interest as more research into the mechanism of atrial fibrillation and its recurrence process is undertaken. Contrast-Enhanced (CE) Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) produces excellent images for extracting...

Atrium is a popular architectural feature utilized widely by building designers and owners to bring various benefits such as adequate daylight, circulation spaces and surfaces for landscape applications. But atrium problems in tropical climates such as excessive daylight, glare and high temperature, which lead to increase building energy demand, have been reported. Atrium has been used with var...

conclusions a right atrium myxoma in a patient with a history of multiple soft tissue tumors has been limited to only a few cases. this may suggest a genomic affinity or similarity; if so, those with multiple different type soft tissue masses should be screened for a heart mass before the mass becomes complicated. introduction heart secondary tumors are much more common than primary tumors. the...

Echocardiogram is an ultrasound image of the heart that demonstrates the size, motion and composition of cardiac structures and is also used to diagnose various abnormalities of the heart including abnormal chamber size, shape and congenital heart disease. Echocardiography provides important morphological and functional details of the heart. Most of the presented automatic cardiac disease recog...
