background and objectives: identification of surgical instruments in laparoscopic video images has several biomedical applications. while several methods have been proposed for accurate detection of surgical instruments, the accuracy of these methods is still challenged high complexity of the laparoscopic video images. this paper introduces a surgical instrument detection framework (sidf) for a...

Oak trees cover a wide range of forests in Iran and most of them are located in Kohgiloye and Boyer-Ahmad province (K.B). The high tannin is one of the anti-nutritional characteristics of acorn for domestic animal. Wide range of gut microorganisms could tolerate tannin and reduce it by producing tannase enzyme. This study was carried out to isolate and identify the tannin resistance bacteria (t...

In the present study, six species of Bipolaris viz. B. heveae, B. neergaardii, B. papendrofii, B. zeae, B. oryzae, and B. australiensis and two species of Curvularia viz. C. intermedia and C. heteropogonicola were identified on graminicolous species. Bipolaris heveae on Echinochloa sp., Cynodon dactylon and Arundo sp., B. neergaardii on Oryza sativa, B. papendrofii on Saccharum officinarum and ...

the control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. for this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on armax structure from a real traffic dataset and design a model predictive control (mpc) system. based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the mpc predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...

In human translation, translators first make draft translations and then modify them. This paper analyses these modifications, in order to identify the features that trigger modification. Our goal is to construct a system that notifies (English-to-Japanese) volunteer translators of awkward translations. After manually classifying the basic modification patterns, we analysed the factors that tri...

background and objectives: isolation of xanthomonas campestris from soil has a wide range of applications from monitoring of phytopathogenic populations in soil to screening of improved xanthan-producing strains. identification of xanthomonas campestris and its pathovars requires pathogenicity tests in addition to phenotypic and molecular characterization. materials and methods: thirty phenotyp...

In this paper, we present an application for the automatic identification of the important moments that might occur during students’ collaborative chats. The moments are detected based on the input received from the user, who may choose to perform an analysis on the topics that interest him/her. Moreover, the application offers various types of suggestive and intuitive graphics that aid the use...
