The present article includes the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) of Citrus unsiu Marc. leaves rich in polyphenols. The best possible combinations of solvent, pH of the media, solvent/solid ratio, extraction time, extraction temperature and particle size were obtained for the maximum extraction of Total Phenolic Compounds (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Compounds (TFC) by us...

1. Extract the object of interest from the input data. For an image as input data, this stage requires an image segmentation function and a procedure for selecting the segment (or object) of interest. 2. Prepares the data of the selected object for a comparison with the knowledge base of the system by extracting the objects characteristic features. 3. Knowledge base of the system which includes...

as seed germination of guava (psidium guajava) is poor and time-consuming, the effects of seed extraction technique and scarification methods on the seed germination and seedling growth of guava cv. allahabad safeda, were investigated. first experiment was conducted on extraction of guava seeds using sulfuric acid (h2so4) : seed ratios including: 1:5, 2:5 and 3:5) or manual extraction (control)...

BACKGROUND The predominant mode of treatment in government dental clinics in Tanzania has been tooth extraction because the economy could not support the conventional restorative care which depends on expensive equipment, electricity and piped water systems. Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) was perceived as a suitable alternative. A 3.5-year study was designed to document the changes in t...

Perera, Sujan. PhD., Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State University, 2016. Knowledge-driven Implicit Information Extraction. Implicit information in unstructured text can be efficiently extracted by bridging syntactic and semantic gaps in natural language usage and by augmenting information extraction techniques with relevant domain and contextual knowledge. Natural lan...

Open Information Extraction (Open IE) systems aim to obtain relation tuples with highly scalable extraction in portable across domain by identifying a variety of relation phrases and their arguments in arbitrary sentences. The first generation of Open IE learns linear chain models based on unlexicalized features such as Part-of-Speech (POS) or shallow tags to label the intermediate words betwee...

If the concept of mesial movement of molars to reduce the "wedge effect" and decrease facial vertical dimension (FVD) is valid, it is important to investigate the effect of first (P1) and second premolar (P2) extraction on FVD. This study compares the mesial movement of molars and changes in FVD between P1 and P2 extraction groups in Class I malocclusion with a hyperdivergent facial type. We co...

Of interest is the accurate and robust delineation of vessel center-lines for complete arterial tree structure in coronary angiograms which is an imperative step towards 3D reconstruction of coronary tree and feature-based registration of multiple view angiograms. Most existing center-line tracking methods encounter limitations in coping with abrupt variations in local artery direction and sudd...

In order to analyze the back of hand vein pattern rapidly and effectively, a novel approach based on multi-scale second-order differential model is proposed to extract the vein texture from vein samples directly, which is made up of two section: one is the foundation of local second-order differential model of vein texture (VLSDM), the other is texture extraction based on the multi-scale VLSDM....
