Due to the randomicity of the natural growth of tomatoes in greenhouses and different storage days for market needs, it is difficult to find appropriate methodologies for certain ripe-tomato-harvesting robot systems. This paper proposes a novel approach for recognizing ripe tomatoes from the natural background in greenhouses and extracting abscission points after color segmentation for autonomo...

In 2016, grape fruits showing ripe rot symptom were found in fields of Korea. The fungus was isolated and identified as Colletotrichum viniferum based on morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and β-tubulin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. viniferum causing grape ripe rot disease of...

The relationship between colour parameters and anthocyanins of four sweet cherry cultivars, Burlat, Saco, Summit and Van was studied. The colour (L*, a*, b*, chroma and hue angle parameters) and anthocyanins were analysed during two different years at two different ripening stages (partially ripe, and ripe, respectively). The cherries were analysed at harvest and after storage at 1.5 ± 0.5 C an...

based on the accumulated data, ftir spectroscopy seems to be a highly sensitive tool in cervical cancer diagnosis. we, therefore, employed this technique in a screening type of research here in tehran. the purpose of this study was to look for the spectral pattern differences between normal and malignant cervix samples in iranian women. through formal and informal announcements, all gynecology ...

INTRODUCTION The clinical presentation of carcinoma of the cervix as cervical lymphadenopathy has not been described before. We report a case of this unusual manifestation of cervical cancer. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman presented to our Head and Neck department with cervical lymphadenopathy. A positron emission tomography scan revealed the primary tumour to be in the cervix and a ce...

ing radiation and is inexpensive. Vaginal scanning in the sagittal plane images the uterine body and cervix, and determines vaginal and bladder invasion. Transverse plane transrectal scanning allows visualisation ol' the cervix, its parametrium, and the rectal wall. The normal parametria image as a crescent interrupted centrally by the cervix. In benign inflammatory parametritis, a transient sm...

Among the actions of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancers, the sequence cytologic smear, colposcopy, cervix biopsy is well-known. The authors draw the attention that in some situations the cytologic smear and colposcopy are not sufficient and it is only biopsy that defines the nature of the lesion and may give therapeutic indications. Out of a series of 55 women to whom a cervix biopsy was...

The acute and subacute hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effects of drinkable ripe onion juice (Commercial product name is "Black Onion Extract") were investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. For tests of acute and subacute hypoglycemic effects, ripe onion juice (5 and 15 mL/kg b.w.) was administered by oral gavage to normal Sprague Dawley rats and measurements of fasti...

There is a close relationship between the rate of the uterine cervix opening during parturition and the presence or absence of a completely ripened cervix. In order to learn the basic pattern of the ripening of cervix, histological and histochemical studies were performed on the human uterine cervix during pregnancy. It was noted that the collagen bundles disintegrated into fine fibers and also...
