Julesz introduced the concept of statistically defined textures and their perceptual discrimination. Julesz showed that discrimination was possible with statistics equated to third-order, specifying fourth-order textures. Klein and Tyler offered a variety of paradigms suggesting that fourth order might be the limit on human texture processing. To go beyond this limit, new texture paradigms are ...

BACKGROUND Weanimix is an important food for children in Ghana. Mothers are trained to prepare homemade weanimix from beans, groundnuts and maize for their infants. Groundnuts and maize are prone to aflatoxin contamination while fumonisin contaminates maize. Aflatoxin, is produced by the Asperguillus fungi while fumonisin, is produced by Fusarium fungi. These mycotoxins occur in tropical areas ...

in [1] we uniquely introduced ultra exponential functions (uxpa) and denednext step of the serial binary operations: addition, multiplication and power.also, we exhibited the topic of limit summability of real functions in [2,3]. inthis paper, we study limit summability of the ultra exponential functions andprove some of their properties. finally, we pose an unsolved problem aboutthem.

The Chernobyl accident caused artificial radioactive contamination, especially 137Cs radionuclide contamination. Due to having long half-life, still continues remain in soils. In the present study, surface soil samples were collected from various locations Bulgaria-Turkey border. activity concentrations of determined. order investigate radiological hazard; dose rates and annual effective estima...

objective: the objective of this research is to examine pcb compounds in the persian gulf in the southern pars area. methods: in the research, 6 stations were sampled: asalouyeh port, kangan site, mehr petro kima petrochemical, 4th refinery in southern pasr, taheri port and aria sasol polymer. to sample water in the stations determined, one-liter sampling bottles of dark glass were used. in eac...

conclusions afm1 contamination of milk is not a concern in this city. however, dairy cattle feed samples of various livestocks must be regularly checked for aflatoxin and the storage conditions of feeds should be strictly controlled. results afm1 was detected in all milk samples. the mean concentration of afm1 was 11.61 ± 0.72 ng/l with a range of 6.3-23.3 ng/l. none of the samples had levels e...

Fungicide application is a key factor in the control of mycotoxin contamination in the harvested wheat grain. However, the practical results are often disappointing. In 2000-2004, 2006-2008 and 2007 and 2008, three experiments were made to test the efficacy of fungicide control on Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) in wheat and to find ways to improve control of the disease and toxin contamination. In ...

Workers decommissioning the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant damaged from the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting tsunami are at risk of injury with possible contamination from radioactive heavy atoms including actinides, such as plutonium. We propose a new methodology for on-site and rapid evaluation of heavy-atom contamination in wounds using a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) dev...

in this paper we study two important concepts, i.e. the direct andthe inverse limit of hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2, andshow that the direct and the inverse limit of hyperstructures associated withfuzzy sets of type 2 are also hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2.

this paper considers the problem of stable limit cycles generating in a class of uncertain nonlinear systems which leads to stable oscillations in the system’s output.this is a wanted behavior in many practical engineering problems. for this purpose, first the equation of the desirable limit cycle is achieved according to shape, amplitude and frequency of the required output oscillations. then,...
