The current study, devoted to leaf micromorphology of tribe Agrimonieae in Iran including three genera (Agrimonia, Aremonia,and Sanguisorba),four species (Agrimonia eupatoria,Aremonia agrimonioides,S. minor, and S. officinalis), and six subspecies (A. eupatoria subsp. eupatoria, A. eupatoria subsp. grandis, A. eupatoria subsp. asiatica, S. minor subsp. minor, S. minor subsp. lasiocarpa, and S. ...

The direction of the arrows in the graph encodes the fact that the class depends on these five attributes, and the lack of any arrows between the attributes explicitly encodes the assumption that the attributes are independent (more precisely, the attributes are independent, given we know the class). For example, if A1 is thorax_length and A3 is wingbeat_frequency, this classifier explicitly as...

Dendritic or branching structures are commonly seen in natural phenomena such as lightning, cracking and vegetal growth. They are also often used for artistic or decorative purposes. We present a new method for modeling dendritic structures based on a path planning approach. Our method includes the use of a partial nonscalar distance metric that gives us effective and flexible control handles o...

Arthroscopic resection of bucket handle tears of the meniscus is difficult owing to the obstructed view of the posterior horn. It often requires an additional portal for access or additional tools. We describe a technique involving conventional tools including grasper, shaver, and basket forceps. No additional portal is required. The basket forceps are used to cut the anterior attachment of the...

In this paper (part three of the trilogy) we use low degree G 1 and G 2 continuous regular algebraic spline curves deened within parallelograms, to interpolate an ordered set of data points in the plane. We explicitly characterize curve families whose members have the required interpolating properties and possess a minimal number of innection points. The regular algebraic spline curves consider...
