The paper presents the comparative faunistic analysis of leaf inhabiting mite species on neglected and conventionally grown pome fruit trees in Turkey as well their diversity distributions. For this purpose, twelve sampling areas were chosen Ordu region Turkey. study was carried out four tree species, apple (Malus domestica), pear (Pyrus communis), quince (Cydonia oblonga), loquat (Eriobotrya j...

As a large amount of mobile water exists in the lean zones of oil sands reservoirs, the analytical model considering mobile water can assist in the study of the mechanism on how lean zones affect SAGD performance. In 1981, Butler proposed a theory on the prediction of heavy oil and bitumen production [S1]. In 1991, Butler further obtained the transient expression for temperature distribution du...

In the southeastern United States, many agricultural, vulnerable, and rural communities (AVRCs) must cope with natural disasters regularly. These not only harm communities, crops, livelihoods, but also can negatively impact mental health of affected individuals, including those living in AVRCs. The purposes this new 3-page article are to (1) provide tips on identifying specific individuals who ...

In this paper, a novel algorithm for a car license recognition system is presented. We employ a double back-projection super-resolution image enhancement technique. Modification of initial guess estimation idea has resulted in accuracy improvement and convergence speed up. Bi-lateral back-projection filtering scheme which has been employed as an advanced preprocessor can achieve edge-preserving...

The maxn algorithm (Luckhardt and Irani, 1986) for playing multiplayer games is flexible, but there are only limited techniques for pruning maxn game trees. This paper presents other theoretical limitations of the maxn algorithm, namely that tie-breaking strategies are crucial to maxn, and that zerowindow search is not possible in maxn game trees. We also present quantitative results derived fr...

The method for reconstruction and restoration of super resolution images from low resolution sequences presented here is an extension of Irani and Peleg's algorithm (“Improving Resolution by Image Registration”, CVGIP: Graphical Models and Image Processing, Vol. 53, No. 3, pp. 231-239, 1991). The input is a set of low resolution images that have been registered to a pixel translation accuracy. ...
