Face recognition is important in human identification. The biological recognition technique acts as a good method and broad applications in security areas. This work presents a method to improve the face recognition accuracy using a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Wavelet Transform. Wavelet Transform is used to decompose the input image with different levels and rearrange...

The ability to assess the importance of secretin in various physiological processes is limited by the lack of specific potent antagonists. Recently, reduced peptide bond (psi) analogues of bombesin or substance P in which the -CONH- bond is replaced by -CH2NH- are reported to be receptor antagonists. To attempt to develop a new class of secretin receptor antagonists, we have adopted a similar s...

صخلملا Infertility affects 15% of couples seeking children worldwide and male factor is evident in about 30-50% of the cases. To assess the effect of sperm chromatin integrity on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic injection, sperm DNA compactness was evaluated by acridine orange staining in 40 fertile and 44 infertile men attending one infertility clinic. The results showed no significant differe...

صخلملا The search for novel anticancer drugs continues. This work includes a preliminary study of the effect of two crude extracts of Greek or Mediterranean sage (Salvia triloba L. f.) on three malignant human cell lines and one malignant murine cell line. A boiling water extract and a methanolic extract were prepared from dried leaves of S. triloba. Yields of extraction were 9.8 and 22.4%, res...

PSI-G is an 11 kDa subunit of PSI in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Arabidopsis thaliana plants devoid of PSI-G have a decreased PSI content and an increased activity of NADP(+) photoreduction in vitro but otherwise no obvious phenotype. To investigate the biochemical basis for the increased activity, the kinetic parameters of the reaction between PSI and plastocyanin were determined. PSI-G clearly...
