anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of hyperspectral images analysis. the goal of these algorithms is to find the objects in the image scene which are anomalous in comparison to their surrounding background. one way to improve the performance and runtime of these algorithms is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques. this paper evaluates the effect of thr...

aflatoxins are toxins which are usually produced by a kind of aspergillus fungus named flavus, parasiticus, and numius. there are 18 kinds of aflatoxins have been discovered by scientists and aflatoxin b1 is the most toxic and carcinogenic. taking aflatoxins present in food causes lots of diseases like liver diseases, alcoholic liver, mutagenesis, and malformation in animals. it also has some o...

in this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method at different concentrations of ag colloid in the range of 500-16000 ppm. nanoparticles were deposited by spin coating method on pre-etched glass and si substrates. structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were studied using scanning electron microscopy equipped with edax, uv-vis spectrophotomet...

abstract aims: the application of photocatalytic processes to remove heavy metals in aqueous solutions and industrial wastewater are regarded as extremely effective, clean and without producing waste methods. the goal of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zno based on h-zsm-5 zeolite support. materials & methods: zno/h-zsm-5 composite synthesized by impregnation...

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty ...

computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...

removal of artifacts from bio-signals is a necessary step before automatic processing and obtaining clinical information. recently, many applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) on biomedical researches have been presented that artifact reduction from bio-signals is one of them. emd separates a time series into finite numbers of its individual oscillations, which are called intrinsic ...

this study on the design of pid controllers for flexible single-arm robot system optimizationpso method is focused so that the coefficients of the pid controller are reduced. in this study,pid controller and pso algorithm have been described and then by using matlab, pidcontrol was simulated. then by pso algorithm, attempts to reduce the pid coefficients are givenby simulation. finally pid coef...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. the reed-xialoi (rx) is the most widely used ad algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. the best solution for this problem is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques as a pre-processing step for rx detector. using this method not only improves the detection p...

the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. in the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (ag nps) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol trolox equivalents g-1 dw (µmol te g-1 dw), ranged from 116.0 ...
