The application of digital image processing for grading of pot plants has been studied. Different techniques e.q. plant part identification based on knowledge based segmentation, have been developed...

Mathematical modelling and integration of rumen fermentation processes. (1993)

Dijkstra, J.

In ruminants, the profile of nutrients available for absorption generally differs considerably from that ingested. These differences result from the metabolic activities of the rumen microorganisms....

Grading unrooted begonia cuttings by estimating the leaf area and analyzing the structure using digital image processing (1992)

Dijkstra , J.

A method has been developed and tested to estimate the leaf area of unrooted cuttings using the greyvalue histogram. This method also considers overlapping leaves and leaves not in the image plane....

MAGNETO-OPTIC KERR EFFECT AND ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF Fe1/3TaS2 (1988)

Wijngaard, J., Dijkstra, J., De Groot, R., Feil, H., Haas, C.

Fe1/3TaS2 is a ferromagnetic intercalation compound. Band structure calculations show various deviations from the rigid band model. We suggest that the measured Kerr spectrum is due to four...

Towards a rapid and reliable detection method for iris severe mosaic virus in iris bulbs. (1988)

Dijkstra, J., Goldbach, R.W.

Detection of iris severe mosaic virus (ISMV) in ISMV-infected iris bulbs during storage, by either ELISA or electron microscopy has been problematic. We have applied different storage-temperature...
