The cropping potential of almond (Prunus amygdalus (L.) Batsch, syn P. dulcis (Mill.)) cultivars is determined by their adaptation to edaphoclimatic and environmental conditions. effects scion–rootstock interactions on vigor have a decisive impact this success. Intensively planted orchards with smaller less vigorous trees present several benefits for increasing orchard profitability. While stud...

This paper documents the design and testing of a software system which automates the task of extracting the two-dimensional cartesian coordinates of human neutrophils from subsequent video frames captured by a Scion Frame Grabber. A single output Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network is utilized for the recognition of cells as well as determining the cell’s exact position. The semi-automat...

The implementation of new planting systems in almond (Prunus amygdalus (L.) Batsch, syn P. dulcis (Mill.)) orchards for more sustainable practices has made tree architecture increasingly relevant as an important selection trait plant breeding. Multiple features define the three-dimensional structure tree, with shoot production being most important. Shoots can develop after a period rest (prolep...

The standard two-step methods for grafting horticultural crops involve cultivating the rootstock a period of time and then connecting scion. Medicinal Cannabis differs from most annual because it is usually clonally propagated cuttings. We developed methodology specifically medicinal Cannabis, involving single step, in which freshly cut scion grafted to donor stem that will become rootstock. Th...
