determination of drug residues in food is of great importance due to their toxicity. long-term exposure with low level of drug residues could be important, especially in children. based on document study, oxytetracycline (otc) is a prophylaxis and treatment agent for great number of diseases and possesses a broad spectrum activity against many pathogenic organisms and can be toxic or cause alle...

background: there is a conserved portion in the 16s rrna gene of bacteria which can be amplified by the universal pcr method. this fragment is 996 bp in length. in this method, only one set of universal primers is used for the amplification of the conserved region of the 16s rrna gene, in common bacterial pathogens. therefore, using the universal pcr method, these bacteria are detectable only b...

introduction automated methods for sperm characterization in microscopic videos have some limitations such as: low contrast of the video frames and possibility of neighboring sperms to touch each other. in this paper a new method is introduced for detection of sperms in microscopic videos. materials and methods in this work, first microscopic videos are captured from specimens of human semen. s...

introduction: in this study, a computer analysis method based on a block matching algorithm is presented to extract the longitudinal movement of the carotid artery wall using consecutive ultrasonic images. a window (block) is selected as the reference block in the first frame and the most similar block to the reference one is found in the subsequent frames. material and methods: the program was...

infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) belongs to the group of gamma coronaviruses along with other avian coronaviruses. the disease caused by ibv can appear similar to infectious laryngotracheitis, avian influenza, and velogenic newcastle disease, which are high priority diseases. the clinical signs can be accompanied by mortalities in broiler chickens and reduced eggshell and albumin quality in la...

conclusions: the results showed that direct fusion of the recombinant plasmids containing the initial and ending parts of the target gene are simple and cost-effective techniques for increasing the length of the fragment and constructing ipc. results: the size of the pcr product was equal to the sum of the first and second fragments. sequencing confirmed the presence of the desire insert (ipc s...

conclusions the analytical sensitivity of lamp and pcr methods, using the designed primers, was 8 times more than any other reported methods. the designed methods are specific and sensitive for detection of h. pylori in different clinical and environmental samples. results the detection limits of the lamp and pcr assay were similar and were 10 fg of pure dna of h. pylori, which is equal to 6 co...

the idea of this paper is designing an automatic fault detection system based on fuzzy logic, therefore two signals of pmsm in fault condition are analyzed for inter turn fault detection: current and torque. in this fault type there is some distortion in these signals, but it is not good enough to detecting with fuzzy logic solely, so with combination of wavelet transform and fcm a new method f...

one of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...
