Raw Spectral Filter Array Imaging for Scene Recognition.

Scene recognition is the task of identifying the environment shown in an image. Spectral filter array cameras allow for fast capture of multispectral images. Scene recognition in multispectral images is usually performed after demosaicing the raw image.

Pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. major on different stages of the sunn pest Eurygaster integriceps.

The sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), is the most important insect pest of wheat and barley. The population management of this pest is of major concern to wheat producers. One of the potential control strategies is to use entomopathogenic fungi.

Transcuprein is a macroglobulin regulated by copper and iron availability.

Transcuprein is a high-affinity copper carrier in the plasma that is involved in the initial distribution of copper entering the blood from the digestive tract. To identify and obtain cDNA for this protein, it was purified from rat plasma by size exclusion and copper-chelate affinity chromatography, and amino acid sequences were obtained. These revealed a 190-kDa glycosylated protein identified as the macroglobulin alpha(1)-inhibitor III, the main macroglobulin of rodent blood plasma.
