In this study, we examined a scale-up to production of nickel perovskite catalyst, used in the conversion of natural gas to synt...

this study determined optimum conditions for drying pomegranate arils in a solar dryer. a cabinet solar dryer was used in active and mixed modes. the response surface method was employed with nine treatments (runs) and a control run (3 m/s air velocity and 2 cm in thickness) and five replications. the bryte cultivar was tested and samples were dried to approximately 10% moisture. drying time, v...

The skin of color population is rapidly growing in the United States. This population has numerous unique and more commonly occurring dermatologic conditions. Additionally, certain cutaneous conditions can present differently in darker versus lighter skin types. This paper provides an up-to-date overview of common conditions that occur in skin of color, including their clinical presentations, p...

Video-based human body tracking using color segmentation often causes problems due to movements of the object or changes in the global illumination parameters. In this paper the innuence of varying lighting conditions and large object movements in space is measured and analysed. For color segmentation an eecient technique for histogram-classiication is used. Based on the measurement results we ...

In this work we have investigated the use of color descriptors to automatically locate the color target in the scene. Three different local descriptors have been tested. These descriptors are then used to return multiple localization hypotheses and a geometrical and appearance validation are introduced to select the most feasible pose. The experimental results on a public dataset of RAW images ...

While in the historic urban fabric of Iran's cities, there are numerous traditional buildings that have stood up for more than one hundred years, today's buildings, in spite of advanced construction technologies, are not comparable with those traditional ones in terms of resiliency and durability. The sustainable vernacular strategies in design and construction of these traditional houses are t...
