Optimum Ensemble Classification for Fully Polarimetric SAR Data Using Global-Local Classification Approach

In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...

Deadly Professions: Violent Attacks Against Aid-Workers and the Health Implications for Local Populations

War has devastating implications for families, communities, cultures, economies, and state infrastructure. Similarly, the last decade has seen an increase in the number of attacks against health workers in conflict zones and unstable environments. Unfortunately, these attacks have grave consequences for local populations which often rely on foreign aid programs for their health and well-being. ...

The effect of local injection of amitriptyline on the formalin test model of pain

Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant agent is used as one of the analgesic drugs in different kinds of pain. In the present study the effect of local (subcutaneous) injection of amitriptyline (50 and 100 µg) on the acute and chronic pain using formalin test, was investigated. Our data show that local injection of amitriptyline to the paw receiving formalin, causes a decrease in pain in bot...

On the associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules

After motivating the question we prove various results about the set of associated primes of Matlis duals of local cohomology modules. In easy cases we can calculate this set. An easy application of this theory is the well-known fact that Krull dimension can be expressed by the vanishing of local cohomology modules. 0. Motivation and Notation Whenever (R,m) is a noetherian local ring, we denote...

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems

Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
