A Self-Learing Chinese Character Recognition System     

Volker Muller  Zhang Ping 《保鲜与加工》1996,(1):40-45

A method using possibility theory and fuzzy logic is introduced. Possibility functions of each feature are determined during training. Methods of fuzzy logic are used to combine the possibility of different features. This Chinese character recognition system consists of a pre-classifier and a two-level fine classifier. In order to handle deviations of the characters,a fuzzification of features is introduced. This method is used to develop single-font classifiers. The whole system consists of a font-classifiers and four single-font-classifiers.  相似文献   

Chromosomal location of genes for resistance to powdery mildew in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.). 9. Gene MlZec1 from the Triticum dicoccoides-derived wheat line Zecoi-1

The Triticum dicoccoides-derived wheat line Zecoi-1 provides effective protection against powdery mildew. F₃ segregation analysis of Chinese Spring × Zecoi-1 hybrids showed that resistance in line Zecoi-1 is controlled by a single dominant gene. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis of bulked segregants from F₃s showing the homozygous resistant and susceptible phenotypes identified eight markers, of which four were associated with the resistance allele in repulsion phase. Following the assignment of these four repulsion phase AFLP markers to wheat chromosome 2B with the aid of Chinese Spring nulli-tetrasomic lines, they were physically mapped in the terminal breakpoint interval 0.89 (2BL-6)–1.00 (telomere) of chromosome 2BL. Genetic and physical mapping of simple sequence repeat markers from the distal half of chromosome 2BL located the wild emmer-derived powdery mildew resistance gene distal of breakpoint 0.89 in deletion line 2BL-6. Based on disease response patterns, genomic origin and chromosomal location the resistance gene in Zecoi-1 is temporarily designated MlZec1.  相似文献   

Soil acidification gradients: Mode of development,status quo and classification     

Volker Malessa 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1995,84(3-4):303-321

Studies on soil profiles down to a depth of 3.5 m were carried out in the catchment area of the Söse River (western Harz Mts. Germany). The results show that the presence of an acidification front in the soil or unsaturated zone is a normal occurrence. Acidification fronts can be classified on the basis of water flow paths: Type A: front developed under vertical flow conditions, Type B: front developed under conditions of different flow directions, Type C: front developed in the presence of layers of different permeability. Knowledge of the type of acidification front and its depth allows a simple ion-budget calculation to be used to predict whether and when acidification of fresh waters will take place.  相似文献   

Longitudinal growth strain as a log and wood quality predictor for plantation-grown <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus nitens</Emphasis> sawlogs     

Juan Valencia  Chris Harwood  Russell Washusen  Andrew Morrow  Matthew Wood  Peter Volker 《Wood Science and Technology》2011,45(1):15-34

Peripheral longitudinal growth strain (LGS) was measured on a total of 81, 22-year-old pruned Eucalyptus nitens trees from five thinning treatments in a plantation thinning trial in Tasmania. Growth strain data were gathered at breast height on each tree using the CIRAD-Forêt method. The effects of thinning treatment and tree diameter on LGS and its relationships to solid-wood traits determined in a processing trial were examined. LGS was significantly higher in the direction of the prevailing wind and was not significantly affected by either thinning treatment or tree diameter. An index of log end splitting was positively related to tree diameter, sawlog position (upper/lower), and LGS, which explained up to an additional 20% of the variance after tree diameter and log position were accounted for in a linear regression model. High LGS and log end splitting were significant indicators of increased board end splitting.  相似文献   

Processing strawberries to different products alters contents of vitamin C, total phenolics, total anthocyanins, and antioxidant capacity     

Klopotek Y  Otto K  Böhm V 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(14):5640-5646

Strawberries were processed to juice, nectar, wine, and puree. For investigation of the antioxidant capacity as well as the contents of ascorbic acid, total phenolics and total anthocyanins, samples were taken after different stages of production to determine the effects of processing. The content of vitamin C was measured spectrophotometrically. The total phenolic content was analyzed by using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the amount of total anthocyanins was determined by using the pH-differential method. Two different methods-the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay and the ferric reducing antioxidant power test-were used to determine the hydrophilic antioxidant capacity. This study showed the decrease of all investigated parameters within processing strawberries to different products. The content of ascorbic acid decreased with production time and processing steps, especially during heat treatment. The investigations on total phenolics in strawberry products proved fining to be a mild method to clarify berry juices and wines without removing high amounts of total phenolics. Fermentation did not lead to heavy losses of total phenolics, probably due to polymerization and condensation of monomer phenolics such as anthocyanins. Total anthocyanins and the hydrophilic antioxidant capacity decreased while using high temperatures. Anthocyanins also decreased considerably during the processing of wines, mainly caused by fermentation and pasteurization.  相似文献   

Bewertung von Pedotransferfunktionen zur Schätzung der Wasserspannungskurve     

Olaf Tietje  Volker Hennings 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》1993,156(5):447-455

Evaluation of Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating the Water Retention Curve On the basis of 1693 data records of the laboratory database of the Lower Saxony Soil Information System (NIBIS), six pedotransfer functions for estimating the water retention curve were tested and their usefulness was evaluated. Among the three methods used to calculate water content for individual matrix potentials on the basis of linear regression analysis, the equations of Renger (1971) stand out because they yield the least deviation between the estimated and measured values. The algorithm of Vereecken et al. (1989) is the better of the two methods for estimating the parameter values of the equation of van Genuchten, describing the water retention curve by a continuous function. The methods examined here show no distinction with respect to which type of substrate they are best suited. The results allow a target-oriented selection of methods for the method database of a Soil Information System.  相似文献   

Analysis of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in catfish by microwave distillation--solid-phase microextraction   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Lloyd SW  Grimm CC 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》1999,47(1):164-169

The semivolatile cyclic alcohols 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin (GSM) impart muddy or musty flavors to water and food products. A rapid quantitative analytical technique has been developed whereby microwave distillation is used to remove the volatile organic compounds from a lipophilic matrix into an aqueous matrix. Solid-phase microextraction (MD-SPME) is then used to extract and concentrate the analytes, which are then desorbed in the injection port of a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) for analysis. Limits of detection are 0.01 microg/kg and limits of quantification are 0.1 microg/kg. MD-SPME is comparable in precision, requires no solvents, and is faster than current methods of analysis. This methodology allows detection of MIB and GSM at concentrations below human sensory thresholds in fish tissue.  相似文献
