This thesis describes the methods used to analyse and model the cutting of pig carcasses into the products: back, belly, spine and ribs. Automatic pre-processing methods to segment out the individual products from raw DICOM images are developed. A bit resolution reduction method is presented for producing images that are readable for other software. Image registration method are studied and use...

This article highlights the efficacy of plant growth regulators and nutrient solutions on root development and survival of ascending purple milkvetch (APMV) cuttings. Three auxin-like growth regulators and Hoagland solutions were used as root inducing agents. The cuttings were planted in sand medium that allowed evaluation of rooting effectiveness. The study showed that up to 100% establishment...

for vegetative propagation of nemaguard, st julien a, tetra and gf677 rootstocks via cutting, two separate experiments were carried out in a factorial based on completely randomized design. semi hardwood cuttings were taken in late august and then treated with concentrations of zero, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 mg/l iba. cuttings were cultured in perlite medium and in a greenhouse with mist syste...

inserts the cuttings into plug trays. While the system has been shown to process effectively many plants automatically, the robot is not equipped to handle successfully the wide variety of cuttings that a trained worker handles with aplomb. A key challenge in greenhouse automation will be to develop productive systems that can perform in a reliable and cost-effective way with highly variable Au...

We have seen the use of partition trees for range searching earlier. In this lecture an efficient partition scheme which achieves the optimal query time within polylog factors is described. See [4] and [5] for more details. There are several new ideas on which this scheme relies. The existence of “good” cuttings are central to the algorithm. In the next section some of the definitions and resul...

Rooted stem cuttings of forest trees are increasingly being used around the world to deploy elite genotypes in intensive forest plantations. In 1992, the NCSU Loblolly and Slash Pine Rooted Cutting Program was formed as an industrially sponsored research cooperative. The primary mission of the program is to conduct research to facilitate the operational use of rooted cuttings for the pines of t...

St. Augustinegrass is a widely used turf and pasture grass in the southern US. Raleigh is a cultivar known for superior cold tolerance than other St. Augustinegrass cultivars. However, its coarse-leaf texture and long internodes are undesirable when planted in home lawns. Mutagenesis by gamma ray irradiation was employed to treat node cuttings and calli for inducing semi-dwarf growth phenotype....

The effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the rooting and root growth of semi-hardwood and hardwood kiwifruit stem cuttings were investigated. The PGPR used were Bacillus RC23, Paenibacillus polymyxa RC05, Bacillus subtilis OSU142, Bacillus RC03, Comamonas acidovorans RC41, Bacillus megaterium RC01 and Bacillus simplex RC19. All the bacteria showed indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)...

Joint application of gibberellic acid and indole-3-acetic acid to excised stem sections, terminal cuttings, and decapitated plants of a green dwarf pea results in a markedly synergistic growth response to these hormones. Synergism in green tall pea stem sections is comparatively small, although growth is kinetically indistinguishable from similarly treated dwarf sections.Gibberellin-induced gro...
