Today the Chaumian Mix idea is not only an academic approach for anonymous communication, it is also a practical system with many variants used in real-world scenarios. It is therefore important to find an appropriate measure for the anonymity provided by these approaches. Many measurement approaches have been proposed that consider only the static state of the system without accounting for pas...

background and aims: since using city power for welding process is not allowed, diesel generators are used as a power supply in construction industries. they could be introduced as a main source of noise pollution. the purposes of this study were to assess and control noise pollution produced by construction diesel generators in hamadan, iran. methods: in this descriptive, cross-sectional study...

PURPOSE To automatically learn directional relative positions (DRP) between mediastinal lymph node stations and anatomical organs. Those spatial relationships are used to semiautomatically segment the stations in thoracic CT images. METHODS Fuzzy maps of DRP were automatically extracted by a learning procedure from a database composed of images with stations and anatomical structures manually...

Given two shapes A and B in the plane with Hausdorff distance 1, is there a shape S 1/2 to from B? The answer always yes, depending on convexity of and/or B, may be convex, connected, or disconnected. We show that our result can generalized give an interpolated between for any interpolation variable ? 0 prove resulting morph has bounded rate change respect ?. Finally, we explore generalization ...

this research was conducted on determination of better planting distance and better amount of nitrogen and phosphorus for hybrid rice (bahar 1). planting distance were used in this experiment, include 30×15, 30×20 and 30×25 cm as main factor. and also nitrogen fertilizer was used, include four levels, 65, 95, 125 and 155 k/ha and phosphorus fertilizer used include tow levels, 50 and 100 k/ha as...

After the establishment of the first quarantine station in the Republic of Ragusa (modern-day Dubrovnik) in 1377, the states and principalities of Italy developed a sophisticated system of defensive quarantine in an attempt to protect themselves from the ravages of plague. Using largely unknown and unseen historical maps, this paper reconstructs the extent and operation of the system used. It i...
