background: this paper proposes a new emotional stress assessment system using multi-modal bio-signals. electroencephalogram (eeg) is the reflection of brain activity and is widely used in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. methods: we design an efficient acquisition protocol to acquire the eeg signals in five channels (fp1, fp2, t3, t4 and pz) and peripheral signals such as blood volu...

classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate landuse/cover (luc) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors suchas complexity of landscape especially in arid region. the aim of this paper is to extractreliable luc information from land sat imageries of the pishkouh watershed of centralarid region, iran. the classical maximum likelihood classifier ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: the angular dependency of response for tld cards may cause deviation  from its true value on the results of environmental dosimetry, since tlds may  be exposed to radiation at different angles of incidence from the surrounding area. objective: a 3d setting of tld cards has been calibrated isotropically in a standard  radiation field to eval...

The accuracy of multiple sequence alignment program MAFFT has been improved. The new version (5.3) of MAFFT offers new iterative refinement options, H-INS-i, F-INS-i and G-INS-i, in which pairwise alignment information are incorporated into objective function. These new options of MAFFT showed higher accuracy than currently available methods including TCoffee version 2 and CLUSTAL W in benchmar...

alternative assessment approaches and, among them, self-assessment and peer-assessment are becoming increasingly important in educational contexts. designed to compare self-assessment, peer-assessment, and teacher-assessment, this study included 90 efl students from 3 intact classes divided into 3 groups: self-assessment, peer-assessment, and teacher-assessment. after taking the toefl proficien...

MOTIVATION At present the computational gene identification methods in microbial genomes have a high prediction accuracy of verified translation termination site (3' end), but a much lower accuracy of the translation initiation site (TIS, 5' end). The latter is important to the analysis and the understanding of the putative protein of a gene and the regulatory machinery of the translation. Impr...

We consider an SU(1,1) interferometer employing four-wave mixers that is fed with two-mode states which are both coherent and intelligent states of the SU(1,1) Lie group. It is shown that the phase sensitivity of the interferometer can be essentially improved by using input states with a large photon-number difference between the modes. The improvement of measurement accuracy in interferometers...
