Event detection has advanced significantly in the past decades relying on pixeland feature-level representations of video-clips. Although effective those representations have difficulty on incorporating scene semantics. Ontology and description-based approaches can explicitly embed scene semantics, but their deterministic nature is susceptible to noise from underlying components of vision syste...

In this work, two separate fault detection models are developed: one for the detection of faulty operation of a deep-trough hydroponic system which is caused by mechanical, actuator or sensor faults, and one for the detection of a category of biological faults (i.e. specific stressed situations of the plants), namely the ‘‘transpiration fault’’. The neural network methodology was proved to be s...

Use of genetic search algorithms for detection of subsurface biological activity zones (BAZ) is investigated through a series of hypothetical numerical biostimulation experiments. Continuous injection of dissolved oxygen (DO) and methane with periodically varying concentration stimulate the cometabolism of indigenous methanotropic bacteria. The observed breakthroughs of methane are used to dedu...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology capable of capturing a three-dimensional (3-D) representation of fingertip skin. The papillary junction—a junction layer of skin containing the same topographical features as the surface fingerprint—is contained within this representation. The top edge of the papillary junction contains the topographical information pert...

Capillary zone electrophoresis was employed for the determination of histamine using end-column amperometric detection with a carbon fiber microelectrode, at a constant potential. The optimum conditions of separation and detection were 10 mmol/L phosphate buffer, pH 5.6 for the buffer solution, 15 kV for the separation voltage, and 1.35 V (versus SCE) for the detection potential. The linear ran...

in this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from hengam island persian gulf were collected by wading at low tides in eskeleh station at  locations 55˚ 53ʹ 40ʺ e & 26˚ 40ʹ 53ʺ n.for identifying identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection and microtome section to identify the skeletal structure were used.all the identified sponges were from class de...
