Peripheral nerve researchers frequently use the rat sciatic crush as a model for axonotmesis. Unfortunately, studies from various research groups report results different techniques and by using variety of evaluation tools, making comparisons between difficult. The purpose this investigation was to determine sequence functional morphologic changes after an acute injury with non-serrated clamp, giving final standardized pressure p = 9 MPa. Functional recovery evaluated index (SFI), extensor...

Abstract Yield assessment is a highly relevant task for the wine industry. The goal of this work was to develop new algorithm early yield prediction in different grapevine varieties using computer vision and machine learning. Vines from six ( Vitis vinifera L.) were photographed mobile platform commercial vineyard at pea-size berry stage. A SegNet architecture employed detect visible berries canopy features. All features used train support vector regression (SVR) models predicting number...

Remote sensing technology, such as hyperspectral imaging, in combination with machine learning algorithms, has emerged a viable tool for rapid and nondestructive assessment of wine grape ripeness. However, the differences terroir, together climatic variations variability exhibited by different varieties, have considerable impact on ripening stages within vintage between vintages and, consequently, robustness predictive models. To address this challenge, we present novel one-dimensional...

The assessment of grape ripeness is an extremely important factor in winemaking and has a direct impact on wine quality. This process usually carried out with traditional laboratory analysis, costly procedure that destroys the grapes selected for analysis. Consequently, research precision viticulture shifted focus to development digital processes are fast non-intrusive. In this context, use hyperspectral imaging paired prediction models estimation oenological parameters gained wide...

Abstract Computerized analysis of rat gait is becoming an invaluable technique used by some peripheral nerve investigators for the evaluation function. In this article we describe use a biomechanical model foot and ankle that allows quantitative assessment description angle, reflecting plantarflexion dorsiflexion during stance phase gait. Kinematic data 144 trial walks from 36 normal rats were recorded with high‐speed digital image camera at 225 images per second. The angular changes...

In this paper, an automatic histogram threshold approach based on a fuzziness measure is presented. This work improvement of existing method. Using fuzzy logic concepts, the problems involved in finding minimum criterion function are avoided. Similarity between gray levels key to find optimal threshold. Two initial regions levels, located at boundaries histogram, defined. Then, using index fuzziness, similarity process started point. A significant contrast objects and background assumed....

The number of berries is one the most relevant yield components that drives grape production in viticulture. goal this work was to estimate actual per grapevine using computer vision and deep learning commercial vineyards. Images from visible range (RGB) were acquired a set 96 grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) at pea-size berry stage red, green blue camera (RGB). At harvest, vine manually assessed as ground-truth values. algorithm involved detect images extract canopy features, order gain...

In red grape berries, anthocyanins account for about 50% of the skin phenols and are responsible final wine color. Individual anthocyanin levels compositional profiles vary with cultivar, maturity, season, region, yield have been proposed as chemical markers to differentiate wines provide valuable information regarding adulteration musts wines. A fast, easy, solvent-free, nondestructive method based on visible, short-wave, near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in intact berries...
