[Method] P. persica (L.) Batsch varieties Chongyanghong and Yanhong were used as parents to construct F1 orthogonal group. A total of 138 FI individuals were selected as experimental materi- als for construction of color around the stone gene pool (B1) and non-color around the stone gene pool (B2) by using bulked segregant analysis (BSA) method, molec- ular markers linked to the flesh color around the stone of P. persica (L.) Batsch were selected with SSR molecular marker technology. [Result] After selection with 256 pairs of SSR primers, three pairs of molecular markers linked to the gene con- trolling flesh color around the stone of P. persica (L.) Batsch were selected (UDP96- 003, ch04g09 and UDP97-402). In addition, genetic distances between the three molecular markers and the gene controlling flesh color around the stone of P. persi- ca (L.) Batsch were calculated, which were 16.7, 10.1 and 17.0 cM, respectively. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further selection of co-dominant molecular markers with closer genetic distance.展开更多

In this study, we evaluated the oligosaccharide content, resistant starch and the growth of probiotic bacteria. GF4 (1-fructofuranosylnystose) was the main fructo-oligosaccharides found, in higher contents compared to other food sources. Maltooligosaccharides (MOS) represented the main part of the oligosaccharides profile of Brazilian pine seeds. In descending order of importance was maltoheptaose (G7), maltohexose (G6) and maltotriose (G3). The starches from the variety Sanct josephi presented the highest amount of resistant starch that could stimulate probiotic strains, mainly B. breve and L. plantarum, and may have a prebiotic effect, potentially promoting health benefits. This study advances the understanding of the chemical composition of the main portion of the “pinhão” enhancing awareness of its potential as a healthy food source, contributing to different uses and indirectly with the species preservation.展开更多

A comparative study is made between the behavior of segmentation in color images using only the Euclidean metric of a* and b* and an adaptive color similarity function defined as a product of Gaussian functions in a modified HSI color space. For the evaluation synthetic images were particularly designed to accurately assess the performance of the color segmentation. The testing system can be used either to explore the behavior of a similarity function (or metric) in different color spaces or to explore different metrics (or similarity functions) in the same color space. From the results is obtained that the color parameters a* and b* are not independent of the luminance parameter L* as one might initially assume.展开更多

However, this is difficult to realize in practical use, since differences in color will make the tiles dis-tinct even if the geometric calibration is perfect. The paper presents an approach of color calibration using cubic B- spline. According to the theory of cubic B-spline, we construct the color transfer function of each projector. This ap-proach reduces the color and photometric non-uniformities to achieve seamless tiled multi-projector display well. Finally, we propose the difference between blending region and overlapping region which can help to achieve a better effect of alpha blending.展开更多

The application becomes increasingly common for tracing sediment sources and climate variation. Borehole LZ908 in the south coastal plain of the Laizhou Bay in northeast China,was used,of which the top 54 m containing all marine facies was focused,to test the feasibility of colorimetry as a climate indi-cator using visible light reflectance spectra and L*a*b*measurement results. The results show a good correction between lightness and calcium carbonate content in marine-terrigenous deposits;therefore,these deposits can be used as a proxy to study climate changes. Factor-analysis on the first derivative values of the raw visible light reflectance spectra produced three principal factors corresponding to goethite,organic matter,and hematite. Down hole variations in the three fac-tor scores,lightness,calcium carbonate content,and grain size were quite consistent. Moreover,high lightness and low factor scores in goethite,hematite,and organics indicated glacial regression deposits,while low lightness and high factor scores in goethite,hematite,and organics indicated interglacial transgression deposits.展开更多
