Fenomena animasi anamorphosis Kucing Calico pada papan reklame 3D yang dimulai di Shinjuku-Tokyo, Jepang menyebar dengan pesat ke seluruh dunia, tidak terkecuali Indonesia. Seekor kucing direkayasa secara digital, bermain dan menarik atensi pengunjung kawasan Shinjuku untuk berhenti menikmati ilusi optik ditayangkan layar digital gedung Cross Jepang. Ilusi disebut dihasilkan memberikan sensasi ...

The proliferation of image data is a major contributor to the big data and the problems associated with its storage and transmission. In this paper, we present applications of the recently introduced Anamorphic Transform to enhancing the performance of two popular image compression methods, JPEG and JPEG 2000. The transformation increases the spatial coherence resulting in superior compression ...

Many rust fungi (Uredinales) that infect rhododendrons are difficult to identify because of similar spore size and overall morphology. As part of a morphological study of rusts in the genus Chrysomyxa, herbarium specimens of Asian rhododendron rusts were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. They were compared with similar taxa from Europe and North America. Revised and illustrate...

The effects of soil drenches with systemic fungicides on viability of clavicipitaceous anamorphic endophytes, non-choke inducing endosymbiotic fungi of the genus Neotyphodium that systemically infect grasses, were tested in endophyte-infected seedlings of Hordeum brevisubulatum subsp. violaceum, Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea germplasm. None of the endophytes of these grasses were sensi...

Understanding the systematics and evolution of clavicipitoid fungi has been greatly aided by the application of molecular phylogenetics. They are now classified in three families, largely driven by reevaluation of the morphologically and ecologically diverse genus Cordyceps. Although reevaluation of morphological features of both sexual and asexual states were often found to reflect the structu...

Gardens of fungus-growing ants (Formicidae: Attini) traditionally have been thought to be free of microbial parasites, with the fungal mutualist maintained in nearly pure "monocultures." We conducted extensive isolations of "alien" (nonmutualistic) fungi from ant gardens of a phylogenetically representative collection of attine ants. Contrary to the long-standing assumption that gardens are mai...

We discuss two key concepts that are useful for extending the depth of field of an optical system. The first concept associates anamorphic processors with the methods that reduce the impact of focus errors, on the optical transfer function. The second concept links Alvarez–Lohmann lenses with tunable masks for controlling the depth of field, without modifying the size of the pupil aperture.

The incidence of clavicipitaceous anamorphic endophytes in a Hordeum spp. germplasm collection is reported. The potential application of endophytes as biocontrol agents against pests of cereal crops is recognized. Suggestions are proposed to modify existing germplasm maintenance procedures to ensure that both seed viability and endophyte viability and diversity are maintained in grass ,germplas...
