Values for Human-to-Human Reference

Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment based on saliency region extraction

In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...

Reference Values of Lymphocyte Sub-Populations in Healthy Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Negative Iranian Adults

Background: Lymphocyte subsets enumeration is considered prominent in the management of primary and acquired immunodeficiency disorders. Because of local variations due to race, age, gender, and environmental conditions on lymphocyte subsets, and to improve the accuracy of interpretation of laboratory findings, reference intervals must be determined in every population. Objective: To establish ...

A Critical Study of the Theory of the Subjectivity of Moral Values With Reference to Mackay's Theory

According to mackay, values in general and ethical values in particular are subjective in nature. That is, they have no foundation independent of mans wishes and subjective human inelinations.  According to his definition of subjectivism, values have no foundation, but the basis of values are not independent of manchr('39')s desires. He offers two arguments for his theory. One is based on the r...

A Machine Learning Approach to No-Reference Objective Video Quality Assessment for High Definition Resources

The video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. The objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. RMSE values and processing ...

Development of Iranian Adult Female Reference Phantom for Internal Dosimetry Calculations

Estimation of organ doses in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures is an area of particular concern for radiation protection, in all over the world. The stylized computational phantoms have contributed significantly to radiation dosimetry in nuclear medicine; however, their simplified treatment of human anatomy is being criticized. Due to the fact that the ICRP adult reference ...
