A variety of extensions to the traditional (ACID) transaction model have resulted in a plethora of extended transaction models (ETMs). Many of these ETMs are application-specific, i.e., they are designed to provide correctness guarantees adequate for a particular application, but not others. Similarly, an application-specific ETM may impose restrictions that are unacceptable in one application,...

Drugs with clinical adverse effects are compared in an ex vivo 3-dimensional multi-cellular human liver slice model. Functional markers of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, glutathione GSH and ATP levels, were affected by acetaminophen (APAP, 1 mM), diclofenac (DCF, 1 mM) and etomoxir (ETM, 100 μM). Drugs targeting mitochondria more than GSH were dantrolene (DTL, 10 μM) and cyclospor...

High-resolution satellite images having a footprint smaller than 5 m are becoming increasingly available. A large number of the high resolution satellite sensors acquire imagery in a pushbroom mode with CCD linear array technology. The need for accurate 3D object reconstruction requires a sophisticated camera model, being able to deal with such sensor geometry. The software package SAT-PP (Sate...

The coastal region of Chabahar Gulf with 1113.7km2 area has been located in the southeast of Iran. In this research, satellite images of ETM+ (2004) were used in order to zoning of sedimentary environments in this Gulf. Methodology of this research was baesd on synthesis of supervised and unsupervised classifications in GIS and ENVI softwares. Based on studies and calculat...

remote sensing techniques are known as very useful methods for studying land use management in arid and semi arid areas, where undeveloped soils are dominant. these techniques can be used for determining different environmental characteristics including soil and vegetations. in this study etm+ band ratios and principal component analysis (pca) were used for monitoring of vegetation cover and it...

Background & Aims: Brucellosis is a public health problem in many developing countries, including Iran. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical manifestations and positive serum agglutination test (SAT) or Wright test. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of SAT in pediatric Brucellosis. Methods: In this prospective study, during 2 years, 52 patients with clinical feat...

Desertification is a major environmental hazard that the world facing today and threat in arid semi-arid regions. This research was carried out Dukku Local Government Area, Gombe State to assess rate of desert encroachment study area. The based on satellite imagery using GIS analysis. multi-temporal acquired from Land Sat images 2000TM, Landsat image ETM 2010 2020 OLI vegetation cover. NDVI (No...

Geohazard monitoring and assessment is one of the major application research fields of DiscoveryNet project serving for scientific knowledge discovery via distributed high throughput devices. This paper reports the algorithm and software development of imageodesy, its implementation on MPI and GRID. The imageodesy techniques based on normalised-cross correlation and phase correlation are capabl...
