the present paper compares nature description in imra’ ul-qais and ibn hamdis poetries with the aim to analyze the nature elements in their poetries – one in dark ages era and the other in andalusian. the main question is that which beautiful scenery has been described according to their different living eras. the assumption which helps us to find the answer to this question is that imra’ ul-qa...

the present paper studies the introduction of atlal in two imra’ ul-qais and zuhayr bin abī sūlmā works of art. selection of these two poets has some reasons; one of them is that each opposes the other; while imra’ ul-qais is a bon vivant man but zuhayr is a god – fearing one. they both experience different conditions of life. the importance of this issue is their interactions with women which ...

In this thesis, we study the theory of Isotropic Multiresolution Analysis (IMRA) and its application to image analysis problems that require rotational invariance. Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) is a mathematical tool that gives us the ability to process a signal or an image at multiple levels of resolution and detail. IMRA is a new type of MRA for which the core resolution sub-space is invaria...

BACKGROUND Several types of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used in imaging of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), however till now there are no clear protocols and recommendations for each type. The aim of this meta-analysis is to detect the accuracy of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), direct magnetic resonance arthrography (dMRA) and indirect magnetic resonance ar...

BACKGROUND Biopiracy - the use of a people's long-established medical knowledge without acknowledgement or compensation - has been a disturbing historical reality and exacerbates the global rich-poor divide. Bioprospecting, however, describes the commercialization of indigenous medicines in a manner acceptable to the local populace. Challenges facing bioprospectors seeking to develop traditiona...

In this paper we investigate Isotropic Multiresolution Analysis(IMRA), isotropic refinable functions, and wavelets. The main results are the characterization of IMRAs in terms of the Lax-Wiener Theorem, and the characterization of isotropic refinable functions in terms of the support of their Fourier transform. As an immediate consequence of these results, there are no compactly supported (in t...

Samples of palladium sheet supplied by IMRA Japan were tested for anomalous energy production using electrolysis in heavy water and a sensitive calorimeter. Several samples were found to produce significant power above that being applied to produce electrolysis. This behavior was found to correlate with certain properties of the palladium metal. In addition, the anomalous heat was shown to orig...

Varions aspects of using language·level syntaCtic and semantic constraints to improve the performance of word recognition algorithms are discnssed. Following a brief presentation of a hypothesis generation model for handwriaen word recognition. varions types of language· level constraints are rev1?ed. Methods that exploit !hese characteristics are discussed including imra-document word conelati...

We have tested our new Degree of Loading (DoL) cell design which can be directly transferred to the SRI mass flow calorimeter. We have shown that appropriately prepared Pd cathodes can reach high loadings in this new design and that the cells can be transferred to the calorimeter without degrading the cathode’s or cel’s performance. In al of the experiments the cathode deloaded at higher curren...
