To solve the problems of underwater image color deviation, low contrast, and blurred details, an algorithm based on correction detail enhancement is proposed. First, improved nonlocal means denoising used to denoise image. The combination Gaussian weighted spatial distance Euclidean as index measure similarity structural blocks. can retain more edge features texture information while maintainin...

In this article CuO/water nanofluid was synthesized by using polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) as the dispersant.  Thenanofluid stability period and the heat transfer enhancement were determinedby measuring the thermal conductivities. To study the nano-fluid stability, zeta (ζ) potential, and absorbency were measured under different pH values and PVP surfactant concentrations; also thermal conductivity...

   In this study, effect of asymmetric functionalized graphene oxide (Janus GO) on Young′s modulus and glass transition temperature of Polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration membranes was investigated. The membranes were prepared via phase inversion method and GO nanosheets were dispersed in casting solution by sonication. Results showed that the Normalized Young’s modulus (on the basis of neat ...

one of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. it causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. in the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. this causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. to avoid the repetition of exposing harmful x-rays to the pati...

Background: In neutron interaction with matter and reduction of neutron energy due to multiple scatterings to the thermal energy range, increasing the probability of thermal neutron capture by neutron captures makes dose enhancement in the tumors loaded with these materials. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate dose distribution in the presence of 10B, 157Gd and 33S neutron...

AIMS Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is reported in up to 30% of patients. Left ventricular involvement demonstrated by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance has been well validated. We sought to determine the prevalence and distribution of right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement in patients diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively evaluated 8...
