Ultrasonic technology and response surface methodology (RSM) wereused for optimization of extraction of condensed tannins from the leaf, acron, gland and gall of oak. Three independent variables such as solvent percentage (%), temperature (°C) and time (min) were studied. Effect of methanol concentration was found to be significant on all responses. Optimal ultrasonicassisted extraction (UAE) c...

Background and aim: Extraction of natural antioxidant compounds has recently attracted the attention of researchers. Almond is one of the native products of  Iran, which annually during the process of production , large volumes of waste is achieved. The aim of this study is investigating the impact of two parameters (time and ethanol percentage) on the extraction of phenol and ...

cellulose is a raw material which is extensively used in the manufacture of paints, papers, textiles, agricultural products and cosmetics. the waste of sugar beet pulp after titration is a source of cellulose. the current study was carried out to study the possibility of cellulose production from sugar beet pulp waste at titration stage as a 3×3×2 factorial study on the basis of a randomized co...

The design of filters for texture feature extraction is addressed. Based on a new feature extraction model, optimization approaches utilizing various feature (energy) separation criteria are developed. Both two- and multiple-texture problems are addressed. The approaches are assessed by supervised segmentation experiments. The experiments also include results from alternative filter optimizatio...

A number of endmember extraction methods have been developed to identify pure pixels in hyperspectral images (HSIs). The majority them use only one spectrum represent kind material, which ignores the spectral variability problem that particularly characterizes a HSI with high spatial resolution. Only few algorithms multiple endmembers representing within each class, called bundle (EBE). This ar...
