Because of the medical and veterinary importance of ticks and the wide use of synthetic chemical substances such as permethrin (active ingredient of Advantage® Max3 - Bayer)for their control, this study evaluated the effects of different concentrations (206, 1031 and 2062 ppm) of the acaricide on the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus sanguineus semi-engorged females. Results showed that permethr...

The Gphoto project exists to provide free and open-source software support for USB and serial digital still cameras which use miscellaneous proprietary interface protocols and image data formats. The cameras supported range from very cheap to very expensive, but one thing that many of them need is a good and practical Bayer demosaicing algorithm. The algorithm should get good results with cheap...

In this paper, we present a solution for the interpolation of low resolution digital images. Many digital cameras can function in two resolution modes: VGA (i.e., 640×480) and QVGA (i.e., 320×240). These cameras use a single sensor covered with a Color Filter Array (CFA). The CFA allows only one color component to be measured at each pixel, the remaining color components must be interpolated, t...

The mining of layered soft bauxite under coal seams (BCS) will cause serious underground goaf disasters and surface Bayer process red mud (BRM) pollution. In order to realize the safe efficient BCS, feasibility recycling BRM as a backfilling aggregate was explored. A series tests were conducted prevent pollution diversion from storage goafs, numerical simulation analysis carried out based on FL...
