genetic and phenotypic parameters related to production traits, udder conformation and somatic cell count for the iranian holstein cows were estimated. monthly records of somatic cell counts (scc) were primarily transformed into somatic cell scores (scs) and the the average level of lactation period, with correction for milk volume, was calculated. by use of these estimates an udder health inde...

Cadmium has a high level of toxicity and can have adverse health effects on living organisms including fish. This study is conducted to identify the cadmium exposure Hepatosomatic Index (HSI) Renosomatic (RSI) Anabas testudineus. testudineus exposed four different treatment groups. The fishes were groups concentrations (0.000 mg/L, 0.005 0.010 mg/L 0.015 mg/L) for 16 weeks. results showed decre...

Data fusion techniques require a good registration of all the used datasets. In remote sensing, images are usually geo-referenced using the GPS and IMU data. However, if more precise registration is required, image processing techniques can be employed. We propose a method for multi-modal image coregistration between hyperspectral images (HSI) and digital surface models (DSM). The method is div...

A DNA-bineting protein (about lOkDa and pI>9.7) of Streptomyces lividans TK24 was purified on a denatured DNA-Cellulose column, and then on a native DNA-Cellulose column. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this protein had high homology with those of small basic DNA-binding proteins known as histone-like proteins. Thus, this protein was designated HSI (histone-like protein of ::J.. lividans)...

Hyperspectral imagery (HSI) denoising is a challenging problem because of the difficulty in preserving both spectral and spatial structures simultaneously. In recent years, sparse coding, among many methods dedicated to the problem, has attracted much attention and showed state-of-the-art performance. Due to the low-rank property of natural images, an assumption can be made that the latent clea...

OBJECTIVE Sayana® Press,(1) a new subcutaneous formulation and presentation of a popular injectable contraceptive, has the potential to expand non-clinic access to contraception, including home and self-injection (HSI). This study collected information from potential users and stakeholders on their perceptions and preferences, the feasibility of an HSI of Sayana Press program and key policy con...

BACKGROUND The endoscopically magnified operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) makes even a small amount of bleeding a potentially significant hindrance. It is thought that irrigation with hot saline during surgery may improve surgical field of view by producing a hemostatic effect. Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of hot saline irrigation (HSI) compared to r...

In the colour coded environment of the RoboCup 4 Legged League it is crucial to extract as much colour information as possible from an image without error. To do this requires hours of manual YUV pixel mapping and testing to ensure robustness under all possible lighting conditions. The YUV colour space is a very convenient standard for transmission of video data, but for colour classification a...
