A low-complexity parametric bilinear generalized approximate message passing (PBiGAMP)-based receiver is conceived for multi-carrier faster-than-Nyquist (MFTN) signaling over frequency-selective fading channels. To mitigate the inherent ill-conditioning problem of MFTN signaling, we construct a segment-based frequency-domain received signal model in form block circulant linear transition matrix...

AbstractThis paper investigates a novel technique for extraction of the nose-tip from three-dimensional face image in any pose, which is needed for nose-tip based face registration. The present technique uses weighted median filter for smoothing. No normalization process is applied and the system correctly detects nose-tips across any pose variations. In our system, at first the range images ar...

An electronic nose is a device that performs the electronic olfactory to substitute human experts. The development of these devices is growing faster due to higher demand. Electronic nose is the mimicking of human nose. Electronic-nose devices have received considerable attention in the field of sensor technology during the past twenty years, largely due to the discovery of numerous application...

Abstract The appearance of fruit color and texture avocado is a quality parameter commonly used by consumers when choosing the fruit, they buy. Intention to repurchases could be determined fruit’s internal properties, such as taste associated with volatile organic compound (VOC). will decrease after harvesting. It also susceptible mechanical damage during harvest post-harvest handling. This res...

Introduction: Correction of Saddle nose deformity is one of the most challenging issues in facial plastic surgery.   Materials and Methods: In this study, a single structure in the form of L-strut was attempted to be created by using one 0.035" Kirschner wire and an autologous costal graft out of the 10th and 11th ribs. This study involved 13 cases, most of whom were traumatic. The corrective ...
