pomegranate is an importantly popular fruit crop with iran the main center of its diversity throghout the world. the richest pomegranate genetic resources believed to exist in iran. the present investigation was carried out to study the genetic diversity of 15 genotypes of pomegranate in tarume zanjan making use of rapd markers. genomic dna was extracted from the plant,s leaf, and tested for th...

understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd-pcr) was used to study the genetic variation of f. hepatica in sheep and cattle. dna was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

We explore the problem of a moving free surface in a water-saturated porous medium that has either a homogeneous or a periodically heterogeneous permeability field. We identify scaling relations and derive similarity solutions for the homogeneous, constant coefficient case in both a Cartesian and an axisymmetric, radial coordinate system. We utilize these similarity scalings to identify half-he...

Three main approaches on how audio signals can be used as input to a deep learning model are: extracting hand-crafted features from signals, mapping into appropriate images such spectrogram-like ones, and using directly raw signals. Among these approaches, the usage of represents compromise regarding bias enforced by processing (seen in features) computational demands signals). When any is inpu...

of high-quality vegetable and industrial oil. 9 rapd primers, 6 aflp primer combinations and 12 agro-morphological traits were used to assess the genetic diversity of 20 accessions of saf flower representing global germplasm variability. jacquards’ similarity coef ficient were used to understanding the genetic relationships among ccessions, for aflp and rapd markers and euclidian similarity coe...

The congruence coefficient was first introduced by Burt (1948) under the name of unadjusted correlation as a measure of the similarity of two factorial configurations. The name congruence coefficient was later tailored by Tucker (1951, see also Harman, 1976). The congruence coefficient is also sometimes called a monotonicity coefficient (Borg & Groenen, 1997, p. 203). The congruence coefficient...

In this paper we present a method of abrupt cut detection with a novel logic of frames’ comparison. Actual frame is compared with its motion estimated prediction instead of comparison with successive frame. Four different similarity metrics were employed to estimate the resemblance of compared frames. Obtained results were evaluated by standard used measures of test accuracy and compared with e...

In this study we present the development of a 3D statistical shape model (Point Distribution Model PDM), for automatic segmentation, of the fetal cerebellum based on 3D US. This model is adjusted to a fetal 3D ultrasound, using an optimization algorithm which optimizes a model fitting function. A mean Dice Similarity Coefficient of 0.78 was obtained between manual annotations and automatic segm...
