This work reports and illustrates the application of enhancement techniques to images of nervous system from a confocal microscope. These images are processed to enhance regions of interest, e.g. nucleus and nervous terminations. Hidden information due to non-ideal acquisition must be exposed after processing, and errors such as non-uniform brightness, noise and artifacts must be eliminated.

trichoderma species are among important antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocontrol potential of native trichoderma spp. isolates from sugar beet fields against phytophthora drechsleri and p. cryptogea, the causal agents of phytophthora root rot of sugar beet. during 2007–08, 85 isolates of trichoderma spp. from sugar beet fields in eight...

the cypress tree mealybug, planococcus vovae (nasonov) (hem., pseudococcidae) is one of the most important pests of cypress trees, especially cupressus semprevirens fastigiata l. in iran. a survey was carried out to determine the natural enemies of cypress tree mea-lybug in tehran province, during 2004-2005. as a result of this study, 17 species of preda-tors, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids b...

potential of three physically different formulations of biocontrol agent thrichoderma harzianum199 was investigated in a field trial against wheat common bunt caused by tilletia laevis kühn. wheat seeds of cv. chamran were treated with liquid, semi-solid (gel mixed suspension) and solid (talc powder) formulations prior to planting. field practices were performed based on khuzestan wheat plantin...

abstract in this study the effect of combination of trichoderma harzianum bi and salicylic acid were studied on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) disease on tomato under green house conditions. the roots of tomato seedlings at six-leaf stage were inoculated with suspensions of fungal antagonist (106 conidia/ ml), 5mm salicylic acid and 2000 second-stage juvenile (j2). combined applicati...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of beauveria bassiana fungus on overwintering larvae populations of rice stem borer( chilo suppressalis) was studied during 2007-2008 in rice reaserch institute, rasht. this study was carried out based on factorial experiment with rcbd in 4 replications with three factors as follow: (a1) concentration of 1× 108 conidia/ml. , concentration of 1× 106 conid...

ion is related to granularity, which is the process to go from a detailed to simplified representation – i.e. going from fine to coarse-grained levels of granularity. Without pre-defined levels, application support for abstraction is limited to manual procedures, syntax, and heuristics [4]. 3. Proposed solution 3.1 The vision The aim of this research is to develop a formal, domainand implementa...
