autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder originating from early childhood; nevertheless, its diagnosis is in older ages. in addition to heredity, environmental factors are also of great significance in the etiology of the disease. dermatoglyphic patterns, albeit varied, remain stable for a lifetime and yield a large number of patterns upon examination. studies have shown a significant associatio...

Fast and accurate ridge detection in fingerprints is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). Smudged furrows and cut ridges in the image of a finger print are major problems in any AFIS. This paper investigates a new online ridge detection method that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. The noise in fingerprint...

background : the concepts of ‘intelligence’ and ‘intellectual performance’ though seem alike, but are different. intelligence assessment of an individual is technical, is done by the application of multiple, reliable and validated, iq (intelligence quotient) tests on the same individual in different settings (date, place and time). however, ‘intellectual performance’ (ip) has a reference only t...

The fatty acid (FA) composition of cell membranes represents a metabolic biomarker. However, the FA profile reproducibility in cultures remains significant challenge. In this study, ratios are validated as markers alternative to FA. To goal, samples belonging cancer HeLa cells and normal 3T3 fibroblasts, from various experimental sets, analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography system c...
