In Northeast part in Turkey, wild grown fruits are abundant and they are widely collected and consumed by rural peoples. In this study, the fruits of seven sea buckthorn genotypes from Northeast in Turkey were sampled and analyzed for their total phenolic content, vitamin C, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity. Total phenolic, vitamin C and total anthocyanin content varied from 213 to 2...

Self-Management of multiservice network domains must include automatic detection of service quality violations in order to perform appropriate and timely responses, fostering the fulfillment of the service agreements committed with customers, or other ISPs. As knowledge based systems are capable of emulating human knowledge, they are presented here as convenient tools to specify heuristics for ...

In this paper, the similarity of moment vectors between the test and the reference image blocks together with the result from the block classification are used in the formulation of an image quality metric (IQM). First, the reference and the test images are divided into non-overlapping 8 8 blocks and transformed into moment domain using Discrete Tchebichef Transform. The moment features are the...

This paper presents a qualitative approach to logical structure recognition of library references. The system is driven by a generic model of a reference class and by an OCR flow, given in SGML format, that include ASCII code of the characters and information about the typographic style and the lexical affiliation of words. The approach used is based on hypotheses production and verification ab...

With more and more materials used in the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process, it is becoming necessary to use a database to manage the process efficiently. In this paper, a relational database for the SLS process is described. The database includes powdered material data, sintering parameters, machine characteristics, mechanical properties and surface quality of prototypes. Use of this data...

The Selective Laser Sintering Process of thermoplastics (SLS) enables the manufacturing of components with complex shape in a short time period without the manufacturing of a specific mold. However, this manufacturing process is limited by the restricted range of materials. In contrast to this primary shaping process, vacuum casting allows a quick, inexpensive and highly accurate process but it...

The input to the freeform fabrication process is essentially geometric data, raw material, material data and process parameters. Optimal process parameters depend upon current material and the part geometry. This paper describes an research approach in which all necessary input including process parameters are obtained or derived from the product model. The part geometry with its process parame...
