In the proposed computer assisted visual interactive recognition (CAVIAR) methodology, a parameterized geometrical model serves as the human-computer communication channel. The iterative CAVIAR process is modelled as a finite state machine. A flower recognition system is implemented based on the proposed methodology. Evaluation on 30 subjects shows that 1) the accuracy of the CAVIAR system is 9...

Egypt, cattle are very important economically because they are the main sources of animal protein and income. Their by-products such as hoof, bones, blood, hides and skin are also variously used (Sansoucy, 1995). Beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, accounting for about 25% of meat production worldwide, after pork and poultry at 38% and 30% respectively [1]. Furthermore, be...

Nowadays, consumers are demanding more natural foods, obliging the industry to include natural antioxidants in foods. Natural antioxidants have been used instead of synthetic antioxidants to retard lipid oxidation in foods to improve their quality and nutritional value. This review discusses some aspects of recent research on antioxidant activity of plant extracts and natural compounds to impro...

in this study, the concentration of calcium (ca), cobalt (co), chromium (cr), copper (cu), iron (fe), potassium (k), magnesium (mg), manganese (mn), selenium (se) and zinc (zn) as essential metals, were determined in caviar of wild beluga sturgeon caught from the caspian sea in march 2012. potassium (4885.51± 17.81 µg g -1 ) and magnesium (346.61± 6.6 µg g -1 ) had the highest concentration and...

The fraudulent practice of cheap meat in costly meat is common nowadays. Therefore, there is need of precise identification of the meat species. We included in our study dog meat, as it is the most easily available cheap meat for adulteration. For specific identification of origin of meat animal species, we evaluated the common meat animal species including dog meat by PCR –RFLP technique. All ...
