BACKGROUND Although the development of novel diagnostic and treatment strategies concerning laryngeal cancer is highly intensive, the survival rate remains virtually unchanged. Small non-coding RNAs appear to be very promising biomarkers - and so remain the focus of extensive investigation in laryngeal cancer. OBJECTIVE We examined the expression of five miRNA and five genes related to cancer...

This study is a contribution to assess the high resolution digital aerial imagery for semi-automatic analysis of tree species identification. To maximize the benefit of such data, the object-based classification was conducted in a mixed forest plantation. Two subsets of an UltraCam D image were geometrically corrected using aero-triangulation method. Some appropriate transformations were perfor...

The major aim of processing satellite images is to prepare topical and effectivemaps. The selection of appropriate classification methods plays an important role. Amongvarious methods existing for image classification, artificial neural network method is ofhigh accuracy. In present study, TM images of 1987, and ETM+ images of 2000 and 2006were analyzed using artificial fuzzy ARTMAP neural netwo...

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...

One of the important issues in speech emotion recognizing is selecting of appropriate feature sets in order to improve the detection rate and classification accuracy. In last studies researchers tried to select the appropriate features for classification by using the selecting and reducing the space of features methods, such as the Fisher and PCA. In this research, a hybrid evolutionary algorit...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...

Background: Maternal diet during pregnancy may affect body composition of the offspring later in life, but evidence is still scarce. Objective: We aimed to examine whether maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy are associated with body composition of the child at age 6 y. Methods: This study was performed among 2695 Dutch motherchild pairs from a population-based prospective cohort study fr...
