To extract critical points from a (3D time-resolved) blood-flow velocity field, we employ a 3D winding number algorithm. Experiments are performed to asses the behavior of the winding number algorithm. First is experimented with artificial data sets, and the robustness of the winding number algorithm is tested, along with the indexation algorithm and the clustering algorithm. Subsequently, some...

in this paper, we have tried to analyze and asses the process of formation and spatial – structural evolution of iranian-islamic cities through tehran case study as well as how to organize and effecting different factors specially modernism on urban elements. also we have discussed about formation and emergence of tehran and the effect of different pre modernism and postmodernism socio-economic...

Abstract Context Several plant traits are associated with resistance to fire, thus fire-resistant species may give rise more landscapes. However, up-scaling from landscape- and regional-scale fire effects remains a challenge. Objectives We test two hypotheses: (1) forests composed of experience lower severity than less species; (2) wildfires affecting greater smaller patches high-severity fire....

Quality of integrated data depends on the quality of original data sources, but it can also be affected by the semantic mapping process between ontologies of different sources, thus influencing the quality of querying between multiple data sources. Being aware of semantic mapping quality could help interpreting mapping results in order to obtain better integration of heterogeneous data and woul...

INTRODUCTION Nowadays an increasing number of lung resections are being done because of the rising prevalence of lung cancer that occurs mainly in patients with limited lung function, what is caused by common etiologic factor - smoking cigarettes. Loss of lung tissue in such patients can worsen much the postoperative pulmonary function. So it is necessary to asses the postoperative pulmonary fu...

We have developed an application to explore the use of Telepresence in synchronous Distance Education sessions. The professor and the remote group of students share three forms of collaboration that are seamlessly integrated in the application: 1) Streamed live Audio and Video 2) A tool that allows the instructor to present slides to the remote students and 3) A networked virtual environment th...
