When parasites invade paired structures of their host non-randomly, the resulting asymmetry may have both pathological and ecological significance. To facilitate the detection and visualisation of asymmetric infections we have developed a free software tool, Analysis of Symmetry of Parasitic Infections (ASPI). This tool has been implemented as an R package (https://cran.r-project.org/package=aspi) and a web application (https://wayland.shinyapps.io/aspi). ASPI can detect both consistent bias towards one side, and inconsistent bias in which the left side is favoured in some hosts and the right in others. Application of ASPI is demonstrated using previously unpublished data on the distribution of metacercariae of species of Diplostomum von Nordmann, 1832 in the eyes of ruffe Gymnocephalus cernua (Linnaeus). Invasion of the lenses appeared to be random, with the proportion of metacercariae in the left and right lenses showing the pattern expected by chance. However, analysis of counts of metacercariae from the humors, choroid and retina revealed asymmetry between eyes in 38% of host fish., Matthew T. Wayland, James C. Chubb., and Obsahuje bibliografii
An electronic nose system for herbs clcissification is designed and tested. The system uses the Figaro TGS800 series sensors with an integrated heating element. The testing of the system was carried out using diíferent types of herbs where it was proved to be successful in classifying them into diíferent classes [10, 11]. Database-based software was designed to interface the built hardware and to process the electronic nose signals before being classified.
One of the features involved in clustering is the evaluation of distances between individuals. This paper is related with the use of different mixed metrics for clustering messy data. Indeed, in real complex domains it becomes natural to deal with both numerical and symbolic attributes. This can be treated on different approaches. Here, the use of mixed metrics is followed. In the paper, impact of metrics on final classes is studied. The application relates to clustering municipalities of the metropolitan area of Barcelona on the bases of their constructive behavior, the number of buildings of different types being constructed, or the politics orientation of the local government. Importance of the reporting phase is also faced in this work. Both clustering with several distances and the interpretation oriented tools are provided by a software specially designed to support Knowledge Discovery on real complex domains, called KLASS.
The aim of this software is testing characters for Laser scanner SICK LMS 400. Software will be used for functional part of control Autonomic Mobile Robotic System. and Cílem tohoto softwaru je testování vlastností laserového skeneru SICK LMS 400. Software bude následně použit ve funkční části řízení Autonomního Mobilního Robotického Systému.
The STESYS2 software is a new version of the IBM PC software supporting interactive stereological measurements. In comparison with the previous STESYS, it is enhanced by a number of useful options, e.g. on-line image input via a TV camera coupled with a microscope operating under MS Windows OS. The main advantage, when compared with other such software packages, is the design of the STESYS2 as a module of the freeware image processing system Image Tool which provides a user-friendly environment including a number of image processing and preprocessing routines. Capabilities of the STESYS2 are illustrated by a practical example: estimation of the surface area of capillaries in the terminal villi of human placenta by the Sandau spatial grid method., Z.
