The world’s sustainable growth is being severely hampered by the inefficient use of water resources. Despite widely acknowledged importance trade in global and regional food security, societal reliance on local production, as well international trade, remains inadequately assessed. Therefore, using South Korea a case study, this study fills research gap applying virtual concept, logarithmic mea...

the charts of 27 patients with kawasaki disease (kd) admitted to nemazee hospital in shiraz from january 1991 to october 1998 were reviewed to identify the results of mean peroxidase index (mpxi) values, a measure of neutrophil staining intensity, obtained by the technicon hi analyzer (technicon instruments corp., tarrytown, ny) within the first 10 days of the illness 2 separate groups of patie...

background: today, treated wastewater recycling and reuse has been considered for agricultural irrigation. this can potentially cause health and environmental hazards. since accessing the engelberg index for sewage is a necessity, this study was undertaken on integrated stabilization ponds (isp) of isfahan east wastewater treatment plant, isfahan, iran. methods: this cross-section study was con...

Most compensation methods for robust speech recognition against noise assume independency between speech, additive and convolutive noise. However, the nonlinear nature distortion caused by noise may introduce correlation between noise and speech. To tackle this issue, we propose generalized-log spectral mean normalization (GLSMN) in which log spectral mean normalization (LSMN) is carried out in...

ultrasound images suffer of multiplicative noise named speckle. different de-speckling algorithms run either in spatial domain or in transformed domain. in this paper, an adaptive filter in spatial domain according to assume the nakagami distribution as the statistic of log-compressed ultrasound images is used. for de-speckling in transformed domain, the non-sub sampled shearlet transform is us...
