In this article, Imam Khomeini’s political theory is investigated with the Lakatos methodology. His methodology confirms the distinction between a hard core or the original skeleton of investments and experimental propositions confirms as a protective belt for the research program. Regarding this, the claim from this article is that if we understand the system of religious knowledge of Imam Kho...

A method of identification of curvature features for shape description and recognition is suggested. The method is based on the relation between local boundary features and the skeleton structure of a plain domain. It uses a continuous boundary-skeleton model of an image. The model consists of a boundary of a polygonal figure approximating a raster image, and a skeleton of the figure. To reveal...

For β ≥ 1, the β-skeleton depth (SkDβ) of a query point q ∈ Rd with respect to a distribution function F on Rd is defined as the probability that q is contained within the β-skeleton influence region of a random pair of points from F . The β-skeleton depth of q ∈ Rd can also be defined with respect to a given data set S ⊆ Rd. In this case, computing the β-skeleton depth is based on counting all...

A new statistical method for Language Modeling and spoken document classification is proposed. It is based on a mixture of topic dependent probabilities. Each topic dependent probability is in turn a mixture of n-gram probabilities and the probability of Kullback-Lieber (KL) distances between key-word unigrams and distribution obtained from the content of a cache memory. Experimental result on ...

In this paper, we propose an improved 3D star skeleton technique, which is a suitable skeletonization for human posture representation and reflects the 3D information of human posture. Moreover, the proposed technique is simple and then can be performed in real-time. The existing skeleton construction techniques, such as distance transformation, Voronoi diagram, and thinning, focus on the preci...
