BACKGROUND This article reports on the bilateral lip mucosa flaps (BLMFs) for reconstruction of the vermilion tubercle of the corrected cleft lip deformity. METHODS From 2005 to 2013, the bilateral mucosa flaps procedures were performed on 34 secondary cleft lip patients (bilateral, n = 25; unilateral, n = 9). We retrospectively reviewed the pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of these 34 ca...

Fresh fracture surfaces of the martian meteorite ALH84001 contain abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These fresh fracture surfaces also display carbonate globules. Contamination studies suggest that the PAHs are indigenous to the meteorite. High-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy study of surface textures and internal structures of selected carbonate globule...

We investigate which of the exotic Doppler peak features found for textures and cosmic strings are generic novelties pertaining to defects. We find that the “out of phase” texture signature is an accident. Generic defects, when they generate a secondary peak structure similar to inflation, apply to it an additive shift. It is not necessary for this shift to be “out of phase”. We also show which...

The Applications of Pattern recognition like wood classification, stone and rock classification problems, the major usage techniques ate different texture classification techniques. Generally most of the problems used statistical approach for texture analysis and texture classification. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) approach is particularly applied in texture analysis and texture cla...

Use of a single technique for the extraction of diverse features in a texture image usually shows limited capabilities for texture description. Texture features extracted using different techniques can be merged in an attempt to enhance their texture description capability. This paper explores the fusion of optimized moment and Gabor energy texture features. The Fisher linear discriminant analy...
