since gait is the mixture of many complex movements, each individual can define with a unique footpressure image that can be used as a reliable biometric scale for human verification. foot pressure colorimages of center for biometrics and security research (cbsr) dataset from 45 men and five womenwere used in this study. owing to the properties of this dataset, an index of foot pressure in addi...

One of the most important aspects of quality assurance (QA) in radiation therapy is redundancy of patient treatment dose calculation. This work is focused on the patient-specific time and 3D dose treatment plan verification for stereotactic radiosurgery using Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion (LGK PFX). The virtual model of LGK PFX was developed in MATLAB, based on the physical dimensions provided ...

The three-dimensional dose (3D) distribution of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was verified based on electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs), and the results were analyzed. Thirty IMRT plans of different lesions were selected for 3D EPID-based dose verification. The gamma passing rates of the 3D dose verification-based EPID system (Edose, Version 3.01, Raydose, Guangdong, China)...

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different pretreatment methods on microbial yield from infectious tissues. Methods Strains Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Escherichia coli (EC) and Candida albicans (CA) were used construct single-surface, full-surface, internal infection models in sterile pork tissue. Manual milling (MM), mechanical homogenization (MH), sonificated (...

mathematical models have the potential to provide a cost-effective, objective, and flexible approach to assessing management decisions, particularly when these decisions are strategic alternatives. in some instances, mathematical model is the only means available for evaluating and testing alternatives.  however, in order for this potential to be realized, models must be valid for the applicati...

the present study was to construct a parentage verification system for iranian caspian horse. a total number of 45 caspian horse samples including 14 foals for parentage verification, 17 stallion and 14 mare for individual identification were genotyped. genomic dna was extracted from whole blood and the genotype were analysed by pcr procedure and using 7 microsatellite markers (aht04, hms03, hm...

In this manuscript, we consider the accuracy of end-point carbon content prediction affected by oxygen injection in multiple stages electric arc furnace (EAF) melting process. Such a would help to further evaluate process control strategies and optimize overall operation furnace. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used normalize 13 input variables affecting endpoint content. log-sigmoid tan...
