Estimation of Exterior Parameters of Sensor Combination for Efficient 3D Modeling
No full textISPRS-Commission V Mid-Term Symposium on Close Range Image Measurement Technique -- JUN 21-24, 2010 -- Newcastle upon Tyne, ENGLANDLaser scanning is the latest method to collect 3D spatial data and modelling. It becomes more and more popular in engineering applications such as 3D modeling, deformation analysis, reverse engineering and urban planning. However, laser scanners are not sufficient on their own for 3D surveying and modeling. It should be used together with the photogrammetric data especially in the orientation of point clouds, measurement of the non-scanning areas, and texture mapping. This task needs the combination of range sensor and image sensor. The sensor combination like this is a very efficient and flexible system for close-range measurement applications. Most of the laser scanners include integrated camera but most of them are low resolution and they can not be removed independent from the scanner. Therefore high resolution camera should be mounted to the laser scanner. In this study we consider mounting a camera onto laser scanner and estimating exterior parameters with strong control methods. We also made experimental studies by using exterior parameters.ISPRS CommissScientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey ( TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK); "Foreign Research Scholarship Program" to Cihan ALTUNTAS; Vienna University of Technology; Scientific Research Found of The Selcuk University ( BAP)We would like to thank The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey ( TUBITAK) for the financial support they have provided as a part of "Foreign Research Scholarship Program" to Cihan ALTUNTAS to the carried out this study in Vienna University of Technology.

Effects of Parasitism and Envenomation by Pimpla turionellae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) on Hemolymph Free Amino Acids of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
No full textThe effects of dose-dependent envenomation by and parasitization of Pimpla turionellae Linnaeus (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) on the ratio of hemolymph free amino acids of the host species Galleria mellonella Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) pupae and larvae were investigated. Of the seventeen different free amino acids detected in the hemolymph of host pupae and larvae by high performance liquid chromatography, the ratio of free amino acids from parasitized and envenomated host pupae did not differ much when compared with those of unparasitized, null- or PBS-injected controls at different time points post-treatments. The exceptions to this trend were an increase in parasitized host pupae for glutamic acid with regard to other experimental groups at 4 and 8 h and a decrease in parasitized host pupae for leucine with regard to 0.01 and 0.05 VRE at 24 h post-treatments. In contrast to pupae, hemolypmh free amino acids of G. mellonella larvae differed upon venom injection among treatments and at different time points post-treatments. The ratios of alanine and leucine at 8 h and glutamic acid, serine, glycine+glutamine, valine, methionine, and phenylalanine at 24 h post-treatments differed from those of controls in treatment groups. However, there appeared no changes in the ratio of hemolypmh free amino acids in host larvae at 4 h post-treatments. Our study indicated that parasitism and experimental envenomation of G. mellonella by wasps resulted in different effects in the quantity of free amino acids depending on host developmental stage

Dysentery caused by Balantidium coli in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from Turkey
No full textBalantidium coli is the only parasitic ciliate of man. It is a flattened oval organism covered with cilia, and a gullet at the anterior end. It is infrequently pathogenic for man, although epidemic buds in tropical zones have been described. The infection fundamentally affects the colon and causes variable clinic pictures, from asymptomatic to serious dysenteric forms. We present a case of parasitologically diagnosed as causes of diarrhea in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from Turkey. In order to find out the causative etiologic agent of diarrhea, stool samples were examined by native, lugol and flotation methods and we detected moving trophozoites, which were approximately 60 m m long and 35 m m wide. These bodies were diagnosed as Balantidium coli. This case underlines that Balantidium coli should also be considered as a possible pathogen in immunocompromised patients with diarrhea
Indole-3-Acetic Acid induced oxidative stress in model host Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and its endoparasitoid Pimpla turionellae (L.) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
No full textInvestigation of the antioxidant and oxidative effects of dietary indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a plant growth regulator, on pest Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and its endoparasitoid Pimpla turionellae (L.) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) was aimed in this study. Different doses of dietary IAA (50-10,000 ppm) caused an increase in lipid peroxidation in the hemolymph of the host, G. mellonella (L.) and its endoparasitoid P. turionellae (L.). When compared to the control, higher doses of dietary IAA decreased CAT, SOD and GST enzymes' activities in G. mellonella. At higher IAA doses, the activity of SOD enzyme in the hemolymph of P. turionellae significantly decreased while CAT enzyme activity showed no significant change when compared to the control. Additionally, GST activity in the endoparasitoid larval hemolymph significantly increased at 500 and 1000 ppm IAA doses. These findings indicate that incorporating IAA in the diet of model host G. mellonella larvae leads to oxidative stress and, also negatively affects the survivability of both the host and its endoparasitoid
