We present optical and morphological characterizations performed on thermochromic V2O5 coatings. V2O5 coatings were obtained by oxidation of as-deposited VOx films. Comparisons were made among coatings oxidized at various temperatures. Photographic evidence is also shown to provide the reader a clear visual description of the color change that occurs during thermochromic process. Detailed study...

Morphological and cytochemical surface characteristics of isolated malaria parasites (Plasmodium berghei) and host erythrocytes were compared by electron microscopy by using thin section and carbon replica techniques. Erythrocytes were uniform in shape and had fine, granular surfaces. In contrast, free parasites exhibited a variety of sizes, shapes, and surface textures. Fine surface stippling ...

We discuss a definition of Morphological Cellular Neural Networks (MCNN) where the state change operator are Auto-associative Morphological Memories (AMM). The fast convergence properties of AMM and the shape of its fixed point set make the MCNN dynamics trivial. However, segmentation results are poor. We propose a Morphological Cellular Automata (MCA) with assured convergence to a state charac...
