motion analysis and quality assessment of human sperm cell is of great importance for clinical applications of male infertility. sperm tracking is quite complex due to cell collision, occlusion and missed detection. the goal of this study is simultaneous tracking of multiple human sperm cells. in the first step in this research the frame difference algorithm is used for background subtraction. ...

this study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, nigeria and the live weights were modeled. biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the logistic,...

in this paper, we consider non-linear ginsburg-pitaevski-gross equation with the rosen-morse and modifiedwoods-saxon potentials which is corresponding to the quantum vortices and has important applications in turbulence theory. we use the runge- kutta-fehlberg approximation method to solve the resulting non-linear equation.

in this study, the substrate diffusion in an immobilized spherical cell-support aggregate is studied and effects of various parameters are investigated on substrates profile. analyses are performed by using of an analytical solution called the least square method (lsm) and results are compared with numerical solution. the effects of effective diffusion coefficient ( d e ), maximum specific grow...

This study aims to determine the battery electric bus service and charging strategy minimize total operational cost of transit system, where incurred by degradation non-linear profile is taken into account. We formulate a set partitioning model for this problem, subject predefined trip schedule limited facilities. A tailored branch-and-price approach then proposed find global optimal solution. ...

Statistical process control methods for monitoring processes with univariate ormultivariate measurements are used widely when the quality variables fit to known probabilitydistributions. Some processes, however, are better characterized by a profile or a function of qualityvariables. For each profile, it is assumed that a collection of data on the response variable along withthe values of the c...

background and aim: it has been several decades since the technology of frequency lowering (fl) has been proposed. however, primary research has revealed no benefits regarding the use of this technique. currently, new methods for fl and improvement of perception of speech and fricative sounds have led to the application of these methods by numerous companies to produce hearing aids. in this stu...

We study the stability of the system of the Euler equations in the neighborhood of the stationary solution associated with the quasi isobaric profile in a gravity field. This situation corresponds to a Rayleigh-Taylor type problem with a smooth base density profile which goes from 0 to ρa (of Atwood number A = 1) given by the ablation front model with a thermal conductivity exponent ν > 1. This...

Analytical solutions have been obtained for both conservative and non-conservative forms of one-dimensional transport and transport-dispersion equations applicable for pollution as a result of a non-conservative pollutant-disposal in an open channel with linear spatially varying transport velocity and nonlinear spatially varying dispersion coefficient on account of a steady unpolluted lateral i...
