land cover is one of basic data layers in geographic information system for physical planning and environmentalmonitoring. digital image classification is generally performed to produce land cover maps from remote sensing data,particularly for large areas. in the present study the multispectral image from irs liss-iii image along with ancillary datasuch as vegetation indices, principal componen...

Lack of detailed land use (LU) information and efficient data collection methods have made the modeling of urban systems difficult. This study aims to develop a novel hierarchical rule-based LU extraction framework using geographic vector and remotely sensed (RS) data, in order to extract detailed subzonal LU information, residential LU in this study. The LU extraction system is developed to ex...

in the last two decade the use of aerial laser scanner (als) or lidar (light detection and ranging) sensor in geomatics engineering and surveying application has augmented significantly . the main reason of the mentioned phenomenon is the reliability and accuracy of the data obtained by lidar sensors. the output of lidar is unclassified 3d point cloud. classification of the lidar point clouds i...

Integrin-mediated cell adhesion to the ECM regulates many physiological processes in part by controlling cell proliferation. It is well established that many normal cells require integrin-mediated adhesion to enter S phase of the cell cycle. Recent evidence indicates that integrins also regulate cytokinesis. Mechanical properties of the ECM can dictate entry into S phase; however, it is not kno...

The aim of this study was to optimize methods for quantifying 13 uridine 59-diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms (UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A7, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, 2B4, 2B7, 2B10, 2B15, and 2B17) in human liver, intestinal, and kidney microsomes, and in recombinant human UGT-expressing insect cell membranes (rhUGTs) by targeted peptide–based quantification using liquid chromatography–ta...

Sec15, a component of the exocyst, recognizes vesicle-associated Rab GTPases, helps target transport vesicles to the budding sites in yeast and is thought to recruit other exocyst proteins. Here we report the characterization of a 35-kDa fragment that comprises most of the C-terminal half of Drosophila melanogaster Sec15. This C-terminal domain was found to bind a subset of Rab GTPases, especia...

classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate landuse/cover (luc) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors suchas complexity of landscape especially in arid region. the aim of this paper is to extractreliable luc information from land sat imageries of the pishkouh watershed of centralarid region, iran. the classical maximum likelihood classifier ...

Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...

Manual fingerprint classification algorithms are very time consuming, and usually not accurate. Fast and accurate fingerprint classification is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). This paper investigates a fingerprint classification algorithm that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. A new structural algorit...
