Screening and Evaluation of Species as a Potential Biocontrol Agent against a Wood Decay Fungus, .

Two-hundred and fifty-five strains of actinomycetes isolated from soil samples were screened for their antagonistic activities against four well-known wood decay fungi (WDF), including a brown rot fungus, and three white rot fungi , , and . A dual culture assay using culture media supplemented with heated or unheated culture filtrates of selected bacterial strains was used for the detection of their antimicrobial activity against four WDF. It was shown that , , and sp.

Quantitative analysis of three-dimensional rendered imaging of the human skull acquired from multi-detector row computed tomography.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quantitative accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) rendered images acquired with multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) by means of distance measurements of a dry human skull for various slice thicknesses and acquisition modes. A radiologist directly measured the distance of line items on the skull surface to establish reference "gold standards." The skull specimen was scanned with a MDCT with various scanning parameters (slice thicknesses and acquisition modes).

Quantitative evaluation of acquisition parameters in three-dimensional imaging with multidetector computed tomography using human skull phantom.

This study evaluated the quantitative measurements of three-dimensional (3D) volume images using multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) and one skull specimen. Twenty-one linear distances were measured five times each by vernier caliper. A dry human skull was imaged with MDCT for various acquisition parameters at slice thicknesses of 1.
