We examine electrically and color neutral quark matter in β-equilibrium focusing on the possibility of mixed phases between different color superconducting phases. To that end we apply the Gibbs criterion to ensure phase equilibrium and discuss the external conditions under which these mixed phases can occur. Neglecting surface and Coulomb effects we find a rich structure of different mixed pha...

red fleshed apples have high levels of anthocyanins in their flesh. iran enjoys a large variety of these apples due to its location in central asia. in the present study, 20 genotypes including eight iranian red fleshed and 12 commercial iranian and foreign apples were selected for the study of genetic diversity of red fleshed apples. we used a set of 11 microsatellite markers (ssrs) to determi...

Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval. Due to its compact representation and low complexity, direct histogram comparison is the most commonly used technique in measuring color similarity of images. However, it has many serious drawbacks, including a high degree of dependency on color codebook design, sensitivity to quantization boundaries, and ine...

We investigated the impact of required diversity courses on students' understanding of racial inequality and their social development with regard to racial outgroups, with a specific focus on the effects of student race and empathy as moderators of diversity course effectiveness. First-semester students (N = 173), enrolled in either diversity courses or introduction to psychology, completed sur...

seed production, as well as other economical and ecological attributes, is an important character in grasses. knowledge on the genetic diversity of seed yield and yield components on iranian tall fescue accessions, as a high productive and adaptive grass is limited. this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity of seed yield and seed components, determine relationships betw...

Nowadays Image Processing and Image Enhancement play a vital role in many of numerous applications. This paper introduces the new color face recognition (FR) method that makes effective use of boosting learning as color-component feature selection framework. A facial recognition system is a method of automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a vi...
