diazinon pesticide and its metabolites have been identified in aquatic systems worldwide. it was related to toxicity for aquatic organisms, animals, and humans. waters contaminated with such persistent insecticides should be treated with suitable treatment processes. in this research, diazinon removal from aqueous solutions by the photo–fenton–like process (uv/h2o2/fe0) was investigated. this e...

in this work firstly zno nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. at the second step titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide shell were synthesized on the core. for preparation zno-tio2-sio2 the sol product was calcinated at 500 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-raydiffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform inf...

Photo clustering is an effective way to organize albums and it is useful in many applications, such as photo browsing and tagging. But automatic photo clustering is not an easy task due to the large variation of photo content. In this paper, we propose an interactive photo clustering paradigm that jointly explores human and computer. In this paradigm, the photo clustering task is semi-automatic...

Online photo libraries face the problem of organizing their rapidly growing image collections.

In order to do it in a fully automated way, the process of augmenting a photo with captions or labels starts by identifying the obj...
