Fresh (36 days old) sporulated oocysts of Eimeria nieschulzi were divided into 7 groups. Control oocysts were maintained at 23 C in 2% aqueous (w/v) K2Cr2O7. The 6 experimental groups were mixed with either Bouin's solution, 10% aqueous (v/v) buffered formalin, Karnovsky's solution, glutaraldehyde, paraformaldehyde, or 70% aqueous (v/v) ethanol (EtOH). After 115 days, oocysts from all 7 groups ...

We propose a method to generate statistically similar reconstructions of two-phase media. As with previous work, we initially characterize the microstructure of the material using two-point correlation functions (a subset of spatial correlation functions) and then generate numerical reconstructions using a simulated annealing method that preserves the geometric relationships of the material's p...

This Editorial provides some advice on (1) the use of scientific species names, including the formation of new species names, (2) the importance of depositing specimens, used for morphological or genetic analyses, in scientific collections that are accessible to other researchers and (3) the importance of ensuring that data associated with genetic sequences submitted to appropriate databases al...

Decoupling shading and reflectance from complex scene-images is a long-standing problem in computer vision. We introduce a framework for decomposing an image into the product of an illumination component and a reflectance component. Due to the ill-posed nature of the problem, prior information on shading and reflectance is mandatory. The proposed method adopts the premise that pixels in a regio...

ABSTRACT: The essential oil of plant material is the fraction isolated by means of several methods such as liquid carbon dioxide, microwaves and low or high pressure distillation employing boiling water or hot steam and is chemically defined as terpenoids namely monoterpene and the oxygenated form. Since these compounds might be employed as flavour contributors due to their chemical nature, it ...

We are interested in leveraging ‘private’ images, which are not shared publicly but just saved on a personal storage privately, for visual learning. In this section, we would like to provide some statistics that motivate our work. Based on the recent report from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers [14], the number of photos shared publicly on several social networking services (Snapchat, Instagram...
