Opportunistic Routing in Large-scale Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks Hossein Shafieirad Master of Applied Sciences Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engingeering University of Toronto 2016 Energy self-sufficiency is one of the main bottlenecks in the implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this regard, energy harvesting (EH), the capture of energy from ambi...

Ario is a solver for systems of linear integer arithmetic logic. Such systems are commonly used in design verification applications and are classified under Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problems. Recognizing the fact that in many such applications the majority of atoms are equalities or integer unit-two-variable inequalities (UTVPIs), we present a framework that integrates specialized t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the patients diagnosed with abnormal uterine bleeding, if the patient does not respond to drug treatment or is not a good candidate for hysterectomy, endometrial destruction is recommended. The aim of this study was to evaluate complications, blood loss and patient satisfaction regarding this method of treatment. METHODS: This retrospective study was performed on 56...

This paper proposes a denoising method for accuracy enhancement of 3D (three dimensional) reconstruction process by shadow moiré. The proposed denoising method based on undecimated wavelet transform (UWT) effectively eliminates noise and grating pattern while retaining useful information. The proposed shadow moiré method is compared with structured lighting method which is a common method for 3...

93 Iranian-British Medical Communication Association, jointly hosted by Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the British Council. The conference was busy and interactive, and we were struck by the enthusiasm of the audience, and their desire to increase collaborative links between our two countries. The hospitality we received was extremely generous and indicative of their wish to overcome...

Background: Ovarian epithelial tumors one of the most common gynecological neoplasms; we here evaluated the presence of HPV in benign and malignant examples. Methods: In this cross-sectional study the records of 105 patients with epithelial ovarian tumors (benign and malignant) referred to Imam Hossein University Hospital from 2012 to 2015 were evaluated along with assessment of the presence of...

Oral rehabilitation of patients with skeletal disorders requires important considerations and precautions. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton which can also affect the peripheral joints including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Patients with AS can suffer from skeletal pain during long dental appointments. Local, systemic, and psychological factors i...

Hydatid cyst involves both hard and soft tissues even without the evidence of the disease in liver or lungs; however, this manifestation is very rare, particularly in musculoskeletal regions). The current report describes a case with primary diagnose of cystic gluteal swelling leading to diagnose of hydatid cyst after surgical exploration in an 80-yr-old woman the Surgical Outpatient Department...
