One of the major challenges for the CBIR is to bridge the gap between low level features and high level semantics according to the need of the user. To overcome this gap, relevance feedback (RF) coupled with support vector machine (SVM) has been applied successfully. However, when the feedback sample is small, the performance of the SVM based RF is often poor. To improve the performance of RF, ...

Our purpose was to characterize in the rhesus monkey the structure and function of vascularized temporalis muscle flaps innervated by the facial nerve after translocation into the site of the denervated zygomaticus muscle. Animals were killed at 28 to 120 days following translocation. Control data were obtained from the contralateral side. Twenty-eight days after translocation, the time to reac...

Static forces have been used for more than a century to modulate osteogenesis of craniofacial sutures in not only laboratory research, but also clinical practice. Whether cyclic forces more effectively stimulate sutural osteogenesis than static forces is unknown. Here, the premaxillomaxillary sutures of growing rabbits received in vivo exogenous static forces with peak magnitude of 2 Newtons, o...

For a contractive iterated function system (IFS), it is known that there natural hyperbolic graph structure (augmented tree) on the symbolic space of IFS reflects relationship among neighboring cells, and its boundary with Gromov metric Hölder equivalent to attractor K [14], [26], [28]. This setup was taken up study probabilistic potential theory [21], [20], bi-Lipschitz equivalence [29]. In th...

in this note we point out and rectify some errors in a recently published paper “n. singh, r. jain: coupled fixed point results for weakly related mappings in partially ordered metric spaces, bull. iranian math. soc. 40 (2014), no. 1, 29-40”.
