This paper describes an automatic color sorting system for red oak edge-glued panel parts. The color sorting system simultaneously examines both faces of a panel part and then determines which face has the “best” color, and sorts the part into one of a number of color classes at plant production speeds. Initial test results show that the system generated over 91 percent acceptable panels from a...

The plant hormone auxin plays an essential role in the patterning of plant structures. Biological hypotheses supported by computational models suggest that auxin may fulfil this role by regulating its own transport, but the plausibility of previously proposed models has been questioned. We applied the notion of unidirectional fluxes and the formalism of Petri nets to show that the key modes of ...

prangos ferulacea (l.) lindl. (apiaceae) is a medicinal plant distributed in mediterranean regions, caucasia and southwest of asia. in the present study phytochemical constituents of the extract obtained from the aerial parts of p. ferulacea were investigated using various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. essential oil of the plant aerial parts was also analyzed using gc-ms. five phen...

Netherlands, Central and Eastern Europe, China and Bangladesh. The different parts of this plant contain monoterpenes, α-pinene, limpnene, γ-terpinene, p-cymene, borneol, citronellol, camphor, geraniol, coriandrin, dihydrocoria...

This paper presents an automatic color sorting system for hardwood edge-glued panel parts. The color sorting system simultaneously examines both faces of a panel part and then determines which face has the “best” color given specified color uniformity and priority defined by management. The real-time color sorting system hardware and color matching hardware is briefly described. An actual worki...

Objective: To study plants purification capability of  Cu on two cultivars of vetch plant (Vigna Radiata) in contaminated soils and their effects on morphological characteristics. Methods: we conducted a completely randomized trial as factorial. Different concentrations of  Cu (0, 150, 300, and 400 mg/ Kg of dried soil) were used. After four weeks growth on contaminated soil, parameters such as...
