This work presents first quantitative results of a method for automatic liver segmentation from CT data. It is based on a 3D deformable model approach using a-priori statistical information about the shape of the liver gained from a training set. The model is adapted to the data in an iterative process by analysis of the grey value profiles along its surface normals after nonlinear diffusion fi...

Abstract. Most global atmospheric mercury models use offline and reanalyzed meteorological fields, which has the advantages of higher accuracy lower computational cost compared to online models. However, these products need past and/or near-real-time observational data cannot predict future. Here, we an component with tropospheric stratospheric chemistry (CAM6-Chem) state-of-the-art climate mod...

up to now, lots of materials such as active carbon, iron, manganese, zirconium, and metal oxides have been widely used for removal of dyes from contaminated water. among these, ferrite nanoparticle is an interesting magnetic material due to its moderate saturation magnetization, excellent chemical stability and mechanical hardness. graphene, a new class of 2d carbonaceous material with atom thi...

water resource scarcity, population growth, pollution of surface and groundwater by discharging toxic wastewater and subsequent diseases may raise the necessity of reusing and treatment of wastewater. cyanide is one of the toxic materials which can be found in some industrial wastewaters. strict laws set by international bodies have forced industries to work on developing efficient cyanide remo...

This study was carried out to determine the anastomosis groups and disease severity of Rhizoctonia solani, which causes root collar rot in chickpea production areas Konya. A total eleven isolates spp. were obtained isolations made from plants surveys. examined microscopically grouped as multinucleate, binucleate according number nuclei. Ten multinucleate identified R. while one isolate sp. In p...

In this paper, we describe a hidden line removal scheme for 2D cartoon images. The depths are introduced to the polylines of the image. The surfaces of the image are classified and their depths updated according to the depths of polylines forming the surfaces. The hidden lines are identified by comparing the depths of the polylines with the depths of the surfaces. This algorithm has been applie...
