Eye is the most important part on face for TCM doctors to diagnose patient. In this paper,we present several methods of eye quantification. We quantify eye movement,venation in white part of eye,tears in eye and the shape of upper eyelid,and then use cloud model to deduce volunteers' vitality condition by these measurements. We collect more than one thousand face images and dozens of face videos of patients',and some rules we mined with the highest support and interesting scores are right correspond to TCM diagnosis.展开更多

The result of 2011 showed that the release of egg parasitoid by rate of 500 and 1,000 parasitoids/palm tree achieved 55.06% and 67.45% reduction in infestation percentage, respectively. Meanwhile high reduction in infestation was achieved by Btk （78.65%） at dose rate of 6 g Btk powder/kg talc powder. The result of 2012 showed that the highest control efficacy （58.78%） was achieved at the first time of the control process, using Btk at dose rate of 6 g/kg talc powder. This result was not different significantly from the release of egg parasitoid by rate of 1,000 parasitoids/palm tree which achieved 53% reduction in infestation percentage. At the second time （after one week from the first application）, the efficacy of Btk at dose rate of 6g/kg talc powder was increased to 78.78%, which differ significantly with the release of egg parasitoid by the same rate of 1,000 parasitoids/palm tree, having 61.79% efficacy. Reapplication of the control method achieved an increase in efficacy of the control agents, such increase was significant for both the release of the parasitoid at rate of 1,000/palm tree and for Btk at a dose of 6 g/kg talc powder.展开更多

The treatments included ~ino^d, from bacteria the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum, and foliar applied Bt spray, and t^vo combinations Bearveria bassiana plus Bt spray and Trichogramma pretiosum and spinosad. The infestations by the European corn borer larvae on stalks of corn were very＂ severe in all the control treatments both 2006 and 2007. The microbial treatments caused various levels of European corn borer mortality. In all the parameters there was a significant difference between the control and other treatments with a P 〈 0.00 l. In this research, treatment with spinosad emerged as the most effective biological agent in the control of the European corn borer. The treatments had no significant effects on the relative abundance and composition of non-target arthropods （P 〉 0.05）. This research is relevant in boosting underutilized control strategies and increasing stakeholder adoption of integrated pest management practices and thereby＇ reducing the use of conventional insecticides especially for orgamc thrmers. This is very important especially in certain countries where the commumities are skeptical about consuming transgenic crops.展开更多
