results mean age was 41.6 ± 9.2 for the military truck drivers and 43.4 ± 10.9 for commercial truck drivers (p > 0.05). no significant difference between military and commercial drivers was found in terms of driving experience, number of mvcs, binocular va, frequency of color vision defects and cs scores. in contrast, the last ocular examination was significantly earlier in military drivers tha...

the present study aims to investigate the system of the visual transitivity by analyzing the images of american english file (2014) and cutting edge (2005) series based on halliday’s (1976) systemic functional linguistics and kress and van leuween’s (1997-2006) social semiotics. the system of visual transitivity refers to a type of process which determines how represented participants are label...

among abundant image denoising methods proposed so far, the use of patchbased algorithms have attracted a lot of attention from image processingcommunity. although these methods are very powerful in presentation of highquality results, the impact of human visual system (hvs) is ignored in sole of them.in this paper the human visual geometry is used in preparation of a new method forimage denois...

  TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
