Developed countries are facing many challenges to convert large areas of existing services to electronic modes, reflecting the current nature of workflow and the equipment utilized for achieving such services. For instance, electricity bill collection still tend to be based on traditional approaches (paper-based and relying on human interaction) making them comparatively time-consuming and prone to human error.

This research aims to recognize numbers in mechanical electricity meters and convert them to digital figures utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Matlab. The research utilized the location of red region in color electricity meters image to determine the crop region that contain the meters numbers, then

  In this paper, the concept of contraction mapping on a -metric space is extended with a consideration on local contraction.  As a result, two fixed point theorems were proved for contraction on a closed ball in a complete -metric space.

     Group action on the projective space PG(3,q)  is a method which can be used to construct some geometric objects for example cap. We constructed new caps in PG(3,13)  of degrees 2, 3, 4, 7,14 and sizes 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 20, 28, 34, 35, 68, 70, 85, 119, 140, 170, 238, 340, 476, 595, 1190. Then the incomplete caps are extended to complete caps. 

Many diseases can produce cardiac overload, of these disease hypertension, valve disease congenital anomaly in addition to many other disease. One of the most common diseases causing left ventricle overload is hypertension. A long term hypertension can cause myocardium hypertrophy leading to changes in the cardiac contractility and reduced efficiency. The investigations were carried out using conventional echocardiography techniques in addition to the tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) from which many noninvasive measurements can be readily obtained. The study has involved the effect of hypertension on the myocardium stiffness index through the measurement of early diastolic filling (E) and the early velocity of lateral mitral annulus (E

Echocardiography is a widely used imaging technique to examine various cardiac functions, especially to detect the left ventricular wall motion abnormality. Unfortunately the quality of echocardiograph images and complexities of underlying motion captured, makes it difficult for an in-experienced physicians/ radiologist to describe the motion abnormalities in a crisp way, leading to possible errors in diagnosis. In this study, we present a method to analyze left ventricular wall motion, by using optical flow to estimate velocities of the left ventricular wall segments and find relation between these segments motion. The proposed method will be able to present real clinical help to verify the left ventricular wall motion diagnosis.

Background: The use of the chest x-ray measurements which includes the cardiothoracic ratio(C-T) and frontal area (FA) of the heart by the CXR are useful measures for primary assessment of the cardiac dysfunction.
Patients and Methods: A Prospective study was done from the 1st of January 2005 to the 1st of October in the same year on a 120 consecutive patients who have been admitted for coronary and L.V angiogram at IBN-AL-BITAR hospital. The C-T ratio and the frontal area were measured.
Results: The study comprised 120 subjects who were admitted for coronary and L.V angiogram for diagnostic reasons. 89subjects (74.2%) are male and 31subjects (25.8%) are female .17(14%) subjects have left ventricular d

          It is well known that the wreath product  is the endmorphism monoid of a free S-act with n-generators. If S is a trivial semigroup then  is isomorphic to . The extension  for  to  where  is an independent algebra has been investigated. In particular, we consider  is to be , where  is a free left S-act of n-generators. The eventual goal of this paper is to show that  is an endomorphism monoid of a free left S-act of n-generators and to prove that  is embedded in the wreath product .
