understanding of the runoff generation processes is important in understanding the magnitude and dynamics ofgroundwater discharge. however, these processes continue to be difficult to quantify and conceptualize. in this study,two digital filter based separation modules, the recursive filtering method (rdf) and a generalization of therecursive digital filter (grdf) were1991–2002 in the hableh ro...

objective(s): we aimed to characterize the phenotype and genotype of bacillus spp isolated from diabetic patients’ eyes, by studying the drug sensitivity patterns with a disc-diffusion method. materials and methods: fifty eyes of 25 patients with type ii diabetes mellitus, with at least 10 years of diabetes history, were included in the study. we analyzed the eyes for the presence of bacillus s...

although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. today, space research agencies seek to build infrastructures without human intervention, and construction companies look to robots with the potential to improve construction qua...

Document index compilation is a sophisticated task that requires text understanding capabilities. SmartIndexer supports the author in the process of index compilation. By providing information about the general structure of an index in combination with the lexical and semantic resources of WordNet, SmartIndexer gives suggestions for arranging potential index entries according to their semantic ...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Although the spiculation levels of breast mass boundaries are a primary sign of malignancy for masses detected on mammography, developing an automated computerized method to detect spiculation levels and quantitatively evaluating the performance of such a method is a difficult task. The objectives of this study were to (1) develop and test a new method to improve mass s...

In this paper, we describe the evaluation of an automated in vitro micronucleus assay using CHO-K1 cells in 96-well plates. CHO-K1 cells were pre-loaded with a cell dye that stains the cytoplasm, after which the cells were treated with the test compounds for either 3h (for the +S9 condition) or 24h (for the -S9 condition). A total of 10 concentrations were tested, of which the top five concentr...

Overarching goal of this paper was to evaluate automated and semi-automated methods of mapping wetlands using Landsat ETM+ and SRTM data. Automated methods consisted of: (a) slope derived from SRTM, (b) Tasseled cap Wetness Index (TCWI), (c) Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), (d) multi-band vegetation indices (MBVIs), (e) two band vegetation indices (TBVIs), (f) normalized difference veg...

Whenever a fault or disturbance in a power system occurs several IEDs are triggered and several data recordings are generated. Automated processing and analysis of substation disturbance data is an effective way to filter important information from the collected data and convert the extracted information into knowledge. Configuring automated analysis systems to allow for efficient data integrat...
