introduction flood is a natural hazard that its occurrences can be observed more frequently in recent years. for better flood mitigation and control, it is needed to identify flood production factors and determine the high potential flood areas. hydrological model is a simplified representation of natural system and the rainfall-runoff model is one of the most frequently used events for flood s...

Chironomidae is one of the most important elements of the aquatic benthos all over the world, which has its own ecological and biological importance in different aspects. The present study has been conducted to investigate the chironomid diversity in Taleghan River in two seasons, spring and summer 2016 for six sampling points (Asfaran, Varkesh, Mir, Jostan, Barikan and Gooran). The sampling pr...

We propose an adaptive reversible data hiding method with superior visual quality and capacity in which an adaptive generalized difference expansion (AGDE) method is applied to an integer-to-integer subband transform (I2I-ST). I2I-ST performs the reversible subband transform and the AGDE method is a state-of-the-art method of reversible data hiding. The results of experiments we performed objec...

The problem of accurate determination of the position, orientation and width of involute spur gear teeth using a single front-lit image is addressed. The information is used to compute global measures of tooth concentricity and pitch variations across a gear wheel. The approach is based on the use of specialised filters which make maximum use of the grey level information available in the image...
