A survey was carried out at Bandirippuwa Estate, Kir imetiyana Estate and at Isolated Seed Garden, Rajakadaluwa for the pests of coconut inflorescence and developing fruits. The mite, Dolichotetranychus sp. (Tenuipalpidae) which lives beneath the perianth and feeds on the epicarp, causes considerable damage to the developing fruit. Bi-monthly observations on the intensity of infestation of nuts...

Systolic architectures for Wave Digital Filters are investigated for low power applications. Based on a 3-port adaptor implementation of the 2 order section, minimum power is found using pipelining with a 2-bit block size for which the power consumption is reduced by 50 % and the power-area-delay performance increased by 5 times relative to the starting, non-pipelined implementation. Introducti...

Cellular Learning Automata (CLA) has been used in many fields of image processing such as noise elimination, smoothing, retrieval, fractionated and extraction of the content Characteristics of the images. The edge detection in images and methods if edge detection, have a great role in machine vision and cognizance systems. This method uses operands for analyzing images and digital image process...

Parasitoids are key ecosystem service providers within sustainable agriculture and integrated pest-management strategies due to their function as biocontrol agents.There is a dearth of data regarding how parasitoids fit wider communities interacting species, but such information essential for the successful implementation conservation biological control in open-field agroecosystems.DNA barcodin...
