Principles and calibration performance results for image-based length, color and trash prove that these modern methods, when conventionally calibrated, provide essentially identical readings for conventional, commercially-used data products including: UHM, LUI, SFC; Rd, +b; Count, %Area. Comments are offered about non-conventional calibrations, new data products and new applications, as well as...

Cotton [Gossypium spp.] fiber quality quantitations at the boll, locule, or seed level are limited by the large sample-size requirements of commercial cotton fiber testing instrumentation and inherent biases and high costs in time and labor of non-instrumental measurement methods. Quantitative examinations of the natural and environmentally induced variations in fiber properties were performed ...

As a vibration- free concrete, self- compacting concrete (SCC) can be easily used in the absence of consolidation, therefore; it is a good option for repairing and retrofitting concrete structures. The quality of repair layer is highly effective on a successful repair. Accordingly, in this study, factors affecting the quality of fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete repair layer, including ...

Traditionally, ideal cotton (Gossypium ssp.) fibers are said to be as white as snow, as strong as steel, as fine as silk and as long as wool. It is difficult to incorporate these specifications favored by cotton processors into a breeding program or to set them as quantitative goals for cotton producers. Since the 36 JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE, Volume 4, Issue 1, 2000 early 1980s in the USA, the...

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between composition of muscle fiber types and meat quality traits of eight major muscles from Hanwoo steers. Longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), semimembranosus (SM), semitendinosus (ST), gluteus medius (GM), triceps brachii (TB), rectus abdominis (RA) and superficialis flexor (SF) muscles were obtained from 9 Hanwoo steers ...

Cereal Chem. 65(3):244-247 Apple fiber was characterized by chemical and physical methods and volume by 14%. Apple fiber was added to cookie and muffin at a found to be a good dietary fiber source and superior water binder to wheat replacement level of at least 4% without a large adverse effect on cookie and and oat brans. Addition of 4% hydrated apple fiber to bread reduced loaf muffin quality.

This thesis is devoted to the study of transverse modes in large-mode-area (LMA) fibers. It highlights the importance of transverse spatial-hole burning (TSHB) effect in LMA multimode fibers through experiments and simulations. The measured beam-quality factor decreases until the gain becomes saturated in an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source based on an Yb-doped LMA multimode fiber. A...

Cotton is an important cash crop. Mining for quantitative trait loci related to yield and fiber quality traits using association analysis has many advantages for cotton research. In this study, 170 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 258 sequence-related amplified polymorphisms (SRAPs) were used to analyze the association of 3 yield component traits and 5 fiber quality traits of 55 Gossypium bar...
