The mass rearing of parasitoids represents a fundamental stage for programmes of biological control. The progeny of the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis Delvare and LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) were evaluated on previously refrigerated pupae of Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). Forty-eight to 72 hours-old pupae of B. mori were stored at 10 °C for five, 10, 15 or 20 days and then ex...

i p t r a o n u w n m t i i w t o c m t d o t d s t bstract. With the current trend of digital convergence in mobile hones, mobile manufacturers are researching how to develop a obile beam projector to cope with the limitations of a small screen ize and to offer a better feeling of movement while watching movies r satellite broadcasting. However, mobile beam projectors may roject an image on ar...

This chapter presents a framework for detecting fake regions by using various methods including watermarking technique and blind approaches. In particular, we describe current categories on blind approaches which can be divided into five: pixel-based techniques, format-based techniques, camera-based techniques, physically-based techniques and geometric-based techniques. Then we take a second lo...

"Virtual reality" (VR) describes an "interactive computer environment": "A computer generated an image; a display system presented the sensory information; and a tracker fed back the user's position or orientation in order to update the image. The elements combined to substitute sense data from the natural world with sense data about an imaginary world that changed in response to the user's act...

This atudy was designed to evaluate the antifungal and cytotoxic activities of the Nannorrhops ritchiana (Mazari Palm) 80% methanol extract (NR-M) and its four crude extracts i.e., petroleum ether (NR-A), dichloromethane (NR-B), ethyl acetate (NR-C) and butanol (NR-D). The antifungal activity was determined by agar tube dilution method against nine fungal strains; Aspergillus flavus, Trichophyt...

The hypocretin (orexin) system is involved in sleep/wake regulation, and antagonists of both hypocretin receptor type 1 (HCRTR1) and/or HCRTR2 are considered to be potential hypnotic medications. It is currently unclear whether blockade of either or both receptors is more effective for promoting sleep with minimal side effects. Accordingly, we compared the properties of selective HCRTR1 (SB-408...

Image restoration is an important topic in the area of image processing because its techniques are useful to recover images degraded during a capturing process (Bovik, 2005). There are a wide range of degradations in real world, such as blurring (i.e. camera motion capture process), nonuniform illumination, cloud environments (fog, clouds, smoke), noise (white noise, impulse noise, etc.), and d...
