in modern agriculture, image processing technique is used for mechanization and intelligent machines instead of humans. one of them is identifying varieties of plants and fruits. identifying plant varieties is important in plant eugenic programs. visual examination of plant leaves and fruits are the common processes for this aim. identification and classification of plants using machine vision ...

abstract: edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and gellan gum (g) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of malus domestica cv golab apples. wpc and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (gly) were tested. postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

 Background: Rosa damascena Mill. (Rosaceae) is a relevant ornamental and medicinal flower, whose distillation is known as Golab (Rosewater) in Iran. Due to the nature of the distillation process, methanol and ethanol are likely to be formed in the final product. Therefore, due to their toxicity, along with their frequent prescription, this study aims to investigate the concentrations of essent...

increasing product marketability and introduction of new cultivars for fresh consumption of apple is the world's most important breeding objectives. in this study, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the genotypes from cross between red spur and golab-e-kohanz apple cultivars were evaluated. a total of 19 traits including fruit attributes (firmness, fruit weight,...) and th...

to study the relationship between some morphological, phonological and early flowering (reduced juvenile phase) characters during some different growing seasons, a study was performed on apple seedling populations obtained from controlled crosses. some qualitative as well as quantitative traits were assessed in more than 400 progenies from four populations of crosses between ‘golab-e kohanz’ an...

Over the last few years, the cost of energy from renewable resources, such as sunlight and wind, has declined resulting in an increasing use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). As a result, the energy produced by RES is fed into the power grid while their share is expected to significantly increase in the future. However, RES are characterized by power fluctuations and their integration into the...

THE 28th International Conference on Data Engineering was held in Washington, DC, on April 1-5, 2012. ICDE 2012 attracted 413 submissions in the research track, 19 submissions in the, industrial track, and 68 submissions in the demo track. After a thorough review from the corresponding committees, 100 research papers, six industrial contributions, and 28 demo proposals were selected for inclusi...

In this work we report the study of energy transfer between Nd and Yb 3+ ions in glasses with the 0.8CaSiO3-0.2Ca3(PO4)2 eutectic composition at room temperature by using steady-state and time-resolved laser spectroscopy. The Nd →Yb transfer efficiency obtained from the Nd 3+ lifetimes in the single doped and codoped samples reaches 73% for the highest Nd 3+ concentration. The donor decay curve...

Stroke patients are at a higher risk of developing progressive cognitive impairment, often retarding patient rehabilitation. Studies have been carried out to find out the molecular mechanism associated with the stroke and its consequences on the various brain regions implicated in cognitive function. The current available therapy does not improve longterm outcome and remains a substantially unm...
