In this paper an efficient on-line recognition system for handwritten mathematical formulas is proposed. After formula preprocessing a symbol hypotheses net is generated by extracting different features for stroke unity. Each element of the symbol hypotheses net represents a possible symbol. The data of each symbol hypotheses are preprocessed and an image is calculated. Features for symbol clas...

the present research deals with verbal and visual values of the persian alphabet. man had achieved common results in this respect in the course of the history, and graphical forms are believed to act as a strong bridge between the man and the universe. the theoretical research is aimed at responding to fundamental questions in this respect including those concerning scientific and historical re...

A WHITE COAT. THE COUNTRY DOCTOR’S BLACK BAG. A STETHOSCOPE. A snake-entwined staff. The oath of Hippocrates. The clinical acumen of Osler and the compassionate service of Schweitzer. These are the symbols and personifications of our chosen profession. One symbol of medicine since antiquity has been the Aesculapian staff. A glance through this journal will uncover the staff in the American Medi...

The symbol-pair codes over finite fields have been raised for symbol-pair read channels and motivated by application of high-density data storage technologies [1, 2]. Their generalization is the code for b-symbol read channels (b > 2). Many MDS codes for b-symbol read channels have been constructed which meet the Singleton-like bound ([3, 4, 10] for b = 2 and [11] for b > 2). In this paper we s...

This essay focuses on the second decade of the Italian Fascist regime through its emblematic symbol, Trebisonda 'Ondina' Valla. Valla gained first place in the 80 metre hurdles at the Berlin Olympics of 1936, and became the first world-class female athlete in Italian history, in spite of the generally backward condition of Italian women. In those years, a paternalistic and conservative society ...

The papers collected in this special issue emerged from an international workshop on symbol grounding organised at the University of Plymouth on 3 and 4 July 2006 by the Distributed Language Group. Our goal was to extend the classical view of symbol grounding by recognising that language and cognitive dynamics are mutually constitutive. Specifically, we aimed to do so by bringing researchers wh...

No facet of human development is more crucial than becoming symbol-minded. To participate fully in any society, children have to master the symbol systems that are important in that society. Children today must learn to use more varieties of symbolic media than ever before, so it is even more important to understand the processes involved in symbolic development. Recent research has greatly exp...

In this section, we compute the symbol of the scattering matrix-in particular given two magnetic fields which agree to some order, we compute the principal symbol of the difference of the associated scattering matrices in terms of the lead term of the difference of the magnetic fields. We use the techniques of [8], [5] and [4] to construct the Poisson operator and compute the symbols. We procee...
