This paper reviews the past and current trends of three-dimensional (3D) modeling and reconstruction of plants and trees. These topics have been studied in multiple research fields, including computer vision, graphics, plant phenotyping, and forestry. This paper, therefore, provides a cross-cutting review. Representations of plant shape and structure are first summarized, where every method for plant modeling and reconstruction is based on a shape/structure representation. The methods were then categorized into 1) creating non-existent plants (modeling) and 2) creating models from real-world plants (reconstruction). This paper also discusses the limitations of current methods and possible future directions. 相似文献

As a measure of estimating humidity control capacity of materials in an airtight room under sinusoidal temperature variation,
we used the Cb value, which is the ratio of the range of variation in relative humidity in a steel box lined with the material of interest
to the range in an empty steel box. In order to clarify the factors that affect the Cb value, we focused on both the temperature variation rate and the area that is lined in the box. It was found that changing
the rate of temperature variation over one period strongly affected the Cb value, although the amplitude of temperature variation did not. We further noticed that the difference between the time when
peak temperature was reached and the time when peak absolute humidity was reached (peak time difference), was found to be
useful for estimating the humidity control capacity of materials. Knowing the difference between the phase when peak temperature
was reached and the phase when peak absolute humidity was reached (phase angle difference) was also useful. Because the Cb value was affected by both the variation period and the lined area in the box, we can draw a contour diagram of the period
and the lined area for materials to give an overview of the humidity control capacity of a material. The materials of primary
interest in this study were Japanese cedar and porous ceramics. 相似文献

Dielectric properties in three main directions for hinoki wood (Chamaecyparis obtusa) specimens conditioned at various levels of relative humidity were measured in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 10 MHz over
the temperature range from −150°C to 20°C. Three relaxations were observed in the specimens conditioned at high levels of
relative humidity. The relaxation in the highest frequency range was ascribed to the motions of adsorbed water molecules.
The relaxation in the middle frequency range remained unchanged by the ethanol–benzene extraction of specimens. The relaxation
location was independent of measuring directions. The relaxation in the lowest frequency range was not detected in the specimens
impregnated with methyl methacrylate (MMA). This result suggested that the relaxation was due to electrode polarization. The
Cole-Cole circular arc law applied well to two relaxations recognized in the specimens impregnated with MMA. The relaxation
magnitude in the middle frequency range was extremely large, and the distribution of relaxation times was very narrow. These
characteristics suggested relaxation of the Maxwell-Wagner type resulting from the interfacial polarization in the heterogeneous
structure, which included adsorbed water with large electrical conductivity within the insulating cell walls. 相似文献

Effects of various selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors on muscle contractility and cyclic nucleotide contents in guinea pig taenia coli were investigated. Forskolin and sodium nitroprusside inhibited carbachol (CCh)-induced contraction in a concentration-dependent manner. Various selective PDE inhibitors, vinpocetine (type 1), erythro -9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA, type 2), milrinone (type 3), Ro20-1724(type 4) and zaprinast (type 5) inhibited CCh-induced contraction in a concentration-dependent manner, but the inhibition of milrinone was noticeably smaller than that of the other PDE inhibitors. The rank order of potency was zaprinast > vinpocetine > EHNA > Ro20-1724 > milrinone. In the presence of CCh (0.3 microM), vinpocetine and Ro20-1724 both increased cAMP content, but not cGMP. By contrast, EHNA and zaprinast both increased cGMP content, but not cAMP. Pretreatment with ODQ (30 microM), a soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, decreased the inhibition of CCh-induced contraction by EHNA or zaprinast. Pretreatment with SQ22536 (100 microM), an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, decreased the inhibition of CCh-induced contraction by vinpocetine or Ro20-1724. In conclusion, it was indicated that vinpocetine- or Ro20-1724-induced relaxation was correlated with cAMP but EHNA- or zaprinast- induced relaxation was correlated with cGMP. 相似文献

Presence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in milk for human consumption is a concern due to its possible relationship with Crohn's disease in humans. Pasteurization effectively reduces the MAP load by four to five logs, but the efficacy depends on the MAP concentration, which depends on the prevalence among contributing herds and individuals. Considerable variation of MAP in bulk tank milk (BTM) and individual cow's milk (IM) is reported, but factors associated with MAP occurrence in milk at farm level have not been described. This study systematically reviewed published studies aiming at estimating the occurrence of MAP in on-farm BTM and IM by meta-analysis. A total of 692 articles were identified through electronic databases and initially screened using title and abstract. The quality of the 61 potentially relevant articles was assessed using full text and 31 articles were eventually included in the meta-analysis. The apparent prevalence (AP) of MAP in BTM and IM on farm were summarized in relation to strata defined by the test used to identify MAP and the infection status of the herds/animals. There was considerable inconsistency in the reporting, resulting in missing information potentially explaining the dispersion in the estimated AP. The overall AP and 95% confidence intervals based on PCR and culture of MAP were summarized to 0.10 (0.04-0.22) in BTM and 0.20 (0.12-0.32) in IM. Quantifying the MAP load in test-positive milk samples was not possible because very few articles provided quantitative information on individual samples. 相似文献

To develop a simple procedure for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in calves, a three-sample method using iodixanol was first compared to that using the standard agent inulin. Iodixanol and inulin were co-administered intravenously to calves at 40 mg I/kg and 40 mg/kg, respectively, and blood was collected 30, 60, 120, and 180 min later. Serum iodixanol and inulin concentrations were separately determined by high performance liquid chromatography and colorimetry. Serum urea nitrogen (UN) and creatinine concentrations were also measured. GFR estimated by iodixanol was consistent with that using inulin in clinically healthy calves. Based on GFR estimations in healthy calves and those renal-loaded with iodixanol, it was found that the serum creatinine concentrations became elevated when GFR decreased to 60% of the reference value. In contrast, serum UN concentrations fluctuated widely, presumably due to extra-renal factors. When GFR was estimated using the three-sample method and compared with the single-blood-sample method, 62/69 (90%) of samples tested were within the agreement plots. The results demonstrated that the single-blood-sample method using iodixanol may be useful in monitoring GFR in calves. 相似文献

Previous studies have indicated that some leptin gene polymorphisms were associated with economically important traits in cattle breeds. However, polymorphisms in the leptin gene have not been reported thus far in Japanese Black cattle. Here, we aimed to identify the leptin gene polymorphisms which are associated with carcass traits and fatty acid composition in Japanese Black cattle. We sequenced the full‐length coding sequence of leptin gene for eight Japanese Black cattle. Sequence comparison revealed eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Three of these were predicted to cause amino acid substitutions: Y7F, R25C and A80V. Then, we genotyped these SNPs in two populations (JB1 with 560 animals and JB2 with 450 animals) and investigated the effects on the traits. Y7F in JB1 and A80V in JB2 were excluded from statistical analysis because the minor allele frequencies were low (< 0.1). Association analysis revealed that Y7F had a significant effect on the dressed carcass weight in JB2; R25C had a significant effect on C18:0 and C14:1 in JB1 and JB2, respectively; and A80V had a significant effect on C16:0, C16:1, C18:1, monounsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid in JB1. The results suggested that these SNPs could be used as an effective marker for the improvement of Japanese Black cattle. 相似文献

The first epidemiological survey of Border disease virus (BDV) was undertaken in small ruminants in Japan. Ovine sera, collected from the northern prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, were examined for the presence of antibodies against BDV using the neutralization peroxidase-linked antibody test. Twenty-nine (17.6%) of one hundred and sixty-five samples were seropositive for BDV. Results were specific, excluding cross-reactions with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). Only one sample (0.6%) was positive for BVDV, and was negative for BDV. Despite serological evidence of virus circulation, there have been no clinical cases of border disease in sheep in Japan. Although no diagnostic measures were performed, the infection did not appear to be associated with a reduction in ewe fertility nor with lamb mortality. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of wall thickening around cell corners on the tangential Young's modulus of coniferous early wood, tapered beam cell models in which the variation of the cell wall thickness in the axial direction was taken into account were constructed for seven species. Their tangential Young's moduli were compared with the experimental results. The calculated Young's moduli of tapered beam cell models were larger than those of the models composed of the cell walls with uniform thickness, although both models showed almost the same density. For some species the calculated Young's moduli of the models in which the cell wall thickness increased curvilinearly in the axial direction were much closer to the experimental values. The reduction of the radial cell wall deflection due to the increase of the stiffness around cell corners was considered to increase the tangential Young's modulus of a wood cell.This report was presented at the 49th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Tokyo, April 1999 相似文献

The Cb value is a useful parameter for estimating the humidity control capacity of materials. It is defined as the ratio of the
range of variation of relative humidity in a steel box lined with the material of interest to that in an empty steel box,
when sinusoidal temperature variation is applied. However, because it takes a long time to obtain the Cb values for materials at each temperature variation period, we developed an easier method based on a linear excitation-response
theory to obtain the Cb values without measuring at each period. Japanese cedar was the material used in this study. The temperature excitation,
a jump from a constant temperature to another constant temperature, was used to obtain the absolute humidity response. Under
the assumption that the temperature excitation-humidity response relationship is linear, we were able to predict humidity
variation to sinusoidal temperature variation at any period, and we obtained the Cb value for each temperature variation period. Predicted values agreed well with the experimental values. From this, it was
found that the Cb value could be predicted without measuring the Cb value at each period over a long time. In addition, the peak time difference, which is closely related to the Cb value, could also be predicted in a similar manner. 相似文献
