Image retrieval by using content analysis is known as a difficult task. It is hard to work out common features and metrics that match all perceptually similar images well and distinguish non-similar ones. In our previous studies [8] and [7] mixed-metrics were proposed in order to combine color and texture metrics for image retrieval task. It was shown that it is always possible to mark out the ...

influencing and being influenced as a result of contact and communication of the nations has created many manifestations of culture and art in the history which architecture is one of. the roots and symbols of the french architecture and their impact on american complex architecture can be seen and looked for from the time of arrival of the french to the soil of the american land. the impact of...

building contraventions have become one of the important dilemmas of many cities like tehran. the wide aftereffects of the contraventions and the large cost of removing their negative effects, make the reduction of the possibility of their occurrence essential. this paper tries to find the reasons and roots of building contraventions in order to prevent their occurrence through appropriate plan...

one  of  the  fundamental needs  for  the  human  is  to  have  a  workplace in  which  they  can  do  their  workappropriately. worldwide energy crisis necessitated the construction of official buildings with smaller space and less air ventilation. this led to the reduction in air conditioning, accumulation of the contaminants in indoor, increased exposure, health threat concerning the staff i...

building construction challenge, in recent years, is the reduction of social, economical and environmentalimpacts along with economical nature and increasing life quality, as here sustainable construction is important. pre-fabrication and industrialization are referred as a solution of sustainable construction due to some of its main characteristics consisting of many sustainability aspects. du...

We have previously presented a building block folding model. The model postulates that protein folding is a hierarchical top-down process. The basic unit from which a fold is constructed, referred to as a hydrophobic folding unit, is the outcome of combinatorial assembly of a set of "building blocks." Results obtained by the computational cutting procedure yield fragments that are in agreement ...
