Introduction Among a number of generic tools that have been developed in the last decade to measure, explore, analyze, model and visualize plant architecture in 3-dimensions, this paper focuses on methods dedicated to the comparison between plant architectures. After a first step that has been reached with the comparison of branching sequences along axes (Guédon et al., 2003), Ferraro and Godin...

Plant remains from archaeological sites reflect many aspects of the relationship between people, plants, and the environment in which they lived. Plant macroremains—seeds and wood that are visible without a microscope—can address a wide range of questions. The most basic include what crops were grown? What was used for fuel? Do any of the plants come from distant lands? Examples from fourth and...

PURPOSE Aerobic exercise has been found to be neuroprotective in animal models of retinal degeneration. This study aims to report physical activity levels in patients with RP and investigate the relationship between physical activity and vision-related quality-of-life (QOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of adult patients with RP examined in 2005-2014. Physical activity levels w...

Coherent processing of ambient noise, based on these computed noise cross-correlation between receivers, has been suggested as a potential means for developing passive methods for ocean acoustic tomography or thermometry [Roux et al., 2004]. However, this technique can require long recording times to extract stable coherent arrivals from ocean noise correlations [Sabra et al., 2005a; Godin, 201...
