Three faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cross populations, i.e. Giza 40/Giza 3 (Cross No.1), Slaim/Giza 3 (Cross No.2) and Slaim/311/1170/81 (Cross No.3), were made for selection by three methods, i.e. Mass selection (MSM), pedigree selection (PSM) and Picking-pod (PPM) from F to F generation during 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2 4 2007/2008 seasons at Mattana Agricultural Research Station, ARC, Isna, Qena...

Seismic horizon tracing is a key step in seismic data interpretation. At present, it mainly relies on manual interpretation to mark the layers within region. The deficiency of lies its low precision and efficiency, heavily experience interpreter. Aiming at above problems, author proposes an automatic tracking algorithm with curvature constraint. firstly determines initial seed points based logg...

PURPOSE The low dose rate brachytherapy procedure would benefit from an intraoperative postimplant dosimetry verification technique to identify possible suboptimal dose coverage and suggest a potential reimplantation. The main objective of this project is to develop an efficient, operator-free, intraoperative seed detection technique using the imaging modalities available in a low dose rate bra...

breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. the important key to treat the breast cancer is early detection of it because according to many pathological studies more than 80% of all abnormalities are still benign at primary stages; so in recent years, many studies and extensive research done to early detection of breast cancer with higher precision and accuracy.infra-red breast...

The assessment of coronary arteries is an essential step when diagnosing coronary heart diseases. There exists a wide range of specialized algorithms for the segmentation of the coronary arteries in Computed Tomography Angiography datasets. In general, these algorithms have to be initialized by manually placing a seed point at the origins of the coronary arteries or within the ascending aorta. ...

1. Previous studies have demonstrated that wind dispersal is an effective mode of seed dispersal for pines ( Pinus , Pinaceae) with seeds weighing <90 mg, but not for largerseeded ( ≥ 90 mg) pines. Consequently, most large-seeded pines rely on birds in the family Corvidae for seed dispersal, but some do not, and most of their seeds fall near the parent tree. Why seeds of these pines are not dis...
