the mean fiber length of three beech trees (fagus orientalis l.) at the lower and higher points (1% and 75% tree height) of the stem at an intermediate altitude (500-1000m) in the caspian forests in sari region were 1.36 and 1.22mm respectively, close to the values in three trees at high altitude (1000-1500m), that were found to be 1.39 and 1.36 mm. the mean fiber lengths of the whole stem, usi...

wood vinegar is the aqueous phase of the liquid produced during the slow pyrolysis of wood.it has the potential to be used as a pesticide against various weeds, insects and molluscs. due to divergentfeedstocks, pyrolysis processes and storing conditions, the chemical composition of wood vinegar variesbetween producers and time. the aim of our current study was to use the copse snail arianta arb...

Convolutional Neural Networks have been highly successful in performing a host of computer vision tasks such as object recognition, object detection, image segmentation and texture synthesis. In 2015, Gatys et. al [7] show how the style of a painter can be extracted from an image of the painting and applied to another normal photograph, thus recreating the photo in the style of the painter. The...

BACKGROUND Two professional painters experienced significant changes in their art as the main consequence of minor stroke located in the left occipital lobe or thalamus. METHODS The features of this artistic conversion were analysed on the basis of extensive neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric evaluations. RESULTS Both painters, initially unaware of the artistic changes, exhib...

Consider a game played on the edge set of the infinite clique by two players, Builder and Painter. In each round, Builder chooses an edge and Painter colours it red or blue. Builder wins by creating either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H for some fixed graphs G and H. The minimum number of rounds within which Builder can win, assuming both players play perfectly, is the on-line Ramsey numbe...

How are art works created by artists? In this study, we focused on the drawing processes of a Chinese ink painter through a field study and a field experiment. In the field study, we observed processes of fusuma drawing in a temple, and in the field experiment, we asked the painter to draw sixteen pictures (eight drawings in BLANK condition and eight drawings LINES condition). We analyzed those...

Wood is a porous three dimensional, hydroscopic, viscoelastic, anisotropic bio-polymer composite composed of an interconnecting matrix of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin with minor amounts of inorganic elements and organic extractives. Some, but not all, of the cell wall polymer hydroxyl groups are accessible to moisture and these accessible hydroxyls form hydrogen bonds with water. As the...

The (G1,G2)-online Ramsey game is a two-player turn-based between builder and painter. Starting from an empty graph with infinite vertices, the adds new edge in each round, painter colors it red or blue. aims to force either copy of G1 blue G2 as few rounds possible, while painter’s aim opposite. online number r˜(G1,G2) minimum edges that needs win game, regardless strategy. Furthermore, we ini...

Background: Asthma is a chronic multifactorial disease with a high prevalence. Among asthma risk factors, the effect of baking in wood tenor ovens (traditional form of baking) on bronchial asthma is still debated. The aim of this study was to determine the association between baking in wood tenor ovens and incidence and control of bronchial asthma. Materials and Methods: This descriptive stu...
