background : labeling, gathering mutual information, clustering and classification of central nervous system tumors may assist in predicting not only distinct diagnoses based on tumor-specific features but also prognosis. this study evaluates the epidemi- ological features of central nervous system tumors in children who referred to mahak’s pediatric cancer treatment and research center in tehr...

This paper examines institutional and regulatory aspects of sustainable transport from a cross-national perspective. While institutions appear to play an important role in the economic success of many countries, it is not so clear that they also support sustainable development. A number of examples of the role of institutions in transport are discussed. Particular attention is focused among oth...

Extended Abstract A minimal living cell, or protocell, is a minimal supra molecular self-bounded structure that can exhibit self-maintenance, selfreproduction and evolvability (Luisi 2003). Some years ago, Szostak and colleagues proposed a minimal cell prototype called Ribocell: ribozymes based cell (Szostak et al. 2001) that, in principle, can exhibit all these three properties. This model cel...

We propose a cognitive vision-based system for the intelligent monitoring of tokamaks during plasma operation, based on multisensor data analysis and symbolic reasoning. The practical purpose is to detect and characterize in real time abnormal events such as hot spots measured through infrared images of the in-vessel components in order to take adequate decisions. Our system is made intelligent...
