Dominance, semidominance, and recessiveness are important modes of Mendelian inheritance. The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) regulates many plant growth and developmental processes. The previously cloned semidominant GA-insensitive (GAI) genes Reduced height1 (Rht1) and Rht2 in wheat (Triticum aestivum) were the basis of the Green Revolution. However, no completely dominant GAI gene has been clo...

In this paper, we implement two recursive filtering and hysteresis thresholding algorithms. The first algorithm (RHT) is proposed by Monga and Deriche in [1] and the second algorithm is a recursive filtering and hysteresis multilevel hysteresis thresholding algorithm (RHMT). The algorithms are implemented on 3D images of thigh muscles. The RHT method is effective and involves fewer calculations...

The Green Revolution dwarfing genes, Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, encode mutant forms of DELLA proteins and are present in most modern wheat varieties. DELLA proteins have been implicated in the response to biotic stress in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Using defined wheat Rht near-isogenic lines and barley Sln1 gain of function (GoF) and loss of function (LoF) lines, the role of DELLA in resp...

Licentiate Thesis ii Abstract Motion analysis is an important task in computer vision. In this work, a short overview of motion estimation techniques is presented and motion detection by a new Hough-like technique, the Randomized Hough Transform (RHT) is studied. The Standard Hough Transform and its applications to motion estimation are shortly introduced. The ideas of the RHT are presented and...

When the data is processed from the digitized drawThis paper presents how the recently presented Randomized IIough Transform (RHT) method can be used as a part of an engineering drawing vectorization system. The RHT algorithm is capable of recognizing and fitting straight line segments, circles, arcs and conic curve segments, in preprocessed images (eg. after noise removal, void filling). The t...

BACKGROUND The Botswana government began providing free antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 2002 and in 2004 introduced routine HIV testing (RHT) in government health facilities, aiming to increase HIV testing and uptake of ART. There have been concerns that the RHT programme might be coercive, lead to increased partner violence, and drive people away from government health services. METHODS We c...

Hydropower is a valuable renewable energy source, but its effects on the downstream passage of many riverine fish species are not well understood. Turbines that designed to function as safe routes for being developed with goal mitigating hydropower operations environment. In this paper, we present results study conducted juvenile life stage Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus, major migratory Atlantic...

The uniqueness of the rht-MOF platform, based on the singular (3,24)-connected net, allows for the facile design and synthesis of functionalized materials for desired applications. Here we designed a nitrogen-rich trefoil hexacarboxylate (trigonal tri-isophthalate) ligand, which serves to act as the trigonal molecular building block while concurrently coding the formation of the targeted trunca...

Right heart thrombus (RHT) is a life-threatening diagnosis that is rarely made in the emergency department (ED), but with the increasing use of focused cardiac ultrasound (FocUS), more of these cases may be identified in a timely fashion. We present a case of an ill-appearing patient who had an immediate change in management due to the visualization of RHT soon after arrival to the ED. The diag...
