Face recognition is important in human identification. The biological recognition technique acts as a good method and broad applications in security areas. This work presents a method to improve the face recognition accuracy using a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Wavelet Transform. Wavelet Transform is used to decompose the input image with different levels and rearrange...

Having examined in Part One the main aspects of the global architecture of IPRs, Part Two focuses on some broad cross-cutting issues that could be seen as opportunities for developing countries in the design of intellectual property regimes which are responsive to their local conditions. The following chapters discuss issues such as innovation and creativity, access to new technologies and tran...

صخلملا The search for novel anticancer drugs continues. This work includes a preliminary study of the effect of two crude extracts of Greek or Mediterranean sage (Salvia triloba L. f.) on three malignant human cell lines and one malignant murine cell line. A boiling water extract and a methanolic extract were prepared from dried leaves of S. triloba. Yields of extraction were 9.8 and 22.4%, res...
