When people try to find particular objects in natural scenes they make extensive use of knowledge about how and where objects tend to appear in a scene. Although many forms of such "top-down" knowledge have been incorporated into saliency map models of visual search, surprisingly, the role of object appearance has been infrequently investigated. Here we present an appearance-based saliency mode...

utilization authorities in sewage companies considered to sludge dewatering methods due to problems and challenges in this field. dewatering by sludge drying beds is considered in present study. this method is preferred to mechanical methods due to the need for very simple technology. due to restriction of natural dewatering, we tried to eliminate some of these limitations by the tests and stud...

Although it is understood that the chemical environment at a drying surface is likely to be quite different from that at a fully hydrated surface, the difficulty of quantitative measurement has meant that this potentially crucial aspect of surface chemistry has gone largely overlooked. As a result, most of our understanding comes from measurement before and after drying, with a gray region of s...

human’s disregard to nature and consequently his living environment’s distance from natural endowments and potentials have caused many problems. human’s living spaces are less desirable for him, and have destroyed his comfort in many cases, as man-made things. in this regard, public open spaces in residential areas can be mentioned because they are usually considered among the most vulnerable s...
