given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of tarbiat modares university during 2007 growing season. experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. in this research, sow...

background: various mtt assay methods are proposed to obtain the cell sur- vival parameters. objective: determining the survival curve characteristics of two cancerous cells of interest based on a common and a novel mtt assay method after exposing them to ionizing radiation. method: a common and a novel mtt assay method were used and compared for obtaining the f10b16 melanoma and 4t1 breast ade...

This paper presents an automated and effective method for detecting 3D edges and tracing feature lines from 3D-point clouds. This method is named Analysis of Geometric Properties of Neighborhoods (AGPN), and it includes two main steps: edge detection and feature line tracing. In the edge detection step, AGPN analyzes geometric properties of each query point’s neighborhood, and then combines RAN...

Segmentation of ultrasound liver images presents a unique challenge because these images contain strong speckle noise and attenuated artifacts. Most ultrasound image segmentation techniques focus on region growing or active contours. These are semi-automatic segmenting systems, in which seed points or initial contours have to be manually identified. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic s...

This paper presents an algorithm to segment the liver structures on computed tomography (CT) images according to the Couinaud orientation. Our method firstly separates the liver from the rest of the image. Then it segments the vessels inside the liver area using a region growing technique combined with hysteresis thresholding. It separates the vessels in segments without any bifurcation, and us...

in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.
