background: the most common chromosomal abnormality due to non-obstructive azoospermia (noa) is klinefelter syndrome (ks) which occurs in 1-1.72 out of 500-1000 male infants. the probability of retrieving sperm as the outcome could be asymmetrically different between patients with and without ks, therefore logistic regression analysis is not a well-qualified test for this type of data. this stu...

Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

Mobile sinks (MS) mounted upon urban vehicles with fixed trajectories (e.g. buses) provide the ideal infrastructure to effectively retrieve sensory data from isolated Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) fields. Existing approaches involve either single-hop transfer of data from sensors that lie within the MS’s range or heavy involvement of network periphery nodes in data retrieval, processing, buffer...
