Mass abnormality segmentation is a vital step for the medical diagnostic process and is attracting more and more the interest of many research groups. Currently, most of the works achieved in this area have used the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) as texture features with a region-based approach. These features come in previous phase for segmentation stage or are using as inputs to class...

The main purpose of this paper is to consider the t-best co-approximation and t-best simultaneous co-approximation in fuzzy normed spaces. We develop the theory of t-best co-approximation and t-best simultaneous co-approximation in quotient spaces. This new concept is employed us to improve various characterisations of t-co-proximinal and t-co-Chebyshev sets.

mycotoxins are an increasingly discussed topic. several scientific reports have been written which review the effects of these toxic substances on the health and productivity of animals. however, there is a lack of work regarding the incidence of mycotoxins in ensiled material and the consequences of this occurrence. in this review, practical and field information was converged with scientific ...

in this survey, 54 specimens of common carp (cyprinus carpio) were collected from anzali wetland between august 2011 and july 2012. after recording biometric characteristics, routine necropsy and parasitology methods were used. totaly, 3165 individuals of parasites were isolated and identified from common carp. parasitofauna consisted of 10 species as follows: two protozoans, ichthyophthirius m...

abstract background: the aim of this study was to elucidate efficacy of transdiagnostic cognitive behavior therapy based on unified protocol (up) for reducing symptoms severity of obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) with co-occurring anxiety and unipolar mood disorders. materials and methods: from the thirty patients who participated to treatment, twenty four participants were randomly assigned...

We describe recent advances in the study of rent seeking and corruption in financial markets. We outline three areas of inquiry: (a) conceptualizing rent seeking, (b) identifying rent-provision channels and their general equilibrium impact, and (c) designing feasible remedial mechanisms. We provide suggestions for making further progress in these areas and review a variety of approaches taken i...

Remanent magnetization curves of perpendicular magnetic thin films are simulated and measured. The simulations are used to investigate the theoretical influence of the strong demagnetizing field present in these films. Conclusions are drawn from this on how remanence curves should be measured and how they should be c0rrecte.d for the demagnetizing influence. The experimental part consists of me...

Statistical Geometric Features (SGF) have recently been proposed for the classification of image textures. The SGF method is easily extended to use other geometric properties of connected regions. Following a brief review of the method, we propose such an extension to the set of SGF features for the purpose of classifying cervical cell textures. The resulting method proves to be as powerful as ...

In this paper we investigate the effect of the illuminant tilt rotation over surface textures by analysing a set of image texture features extracted from the co-occurrence matrix. From the behaviour of each texture feature, a simple method able to predict the illuminant tilt angle of test images is developed. Moreover, the method is also used to perform a texture classification invariant to the...
