Journal Article
Herppich, W., Matsushima, U., Graf, W., Zabler, S., Dawson, M., Choinka, G., & Manke, I. (2015). Synchrotron X-ray CT of rose peduncles – evaluation of tissue damage by radiation*. MP Materials Testing, 57(1), 59-63. https://doi.org/10.3139/120.110675

"Bent-neck" syndrome, an important postharvest problem of cut roses, is probably caused by water supply limitations and/or the structural weakness of vascular bundles of the peduncle tissue. For this reason, advanced knowledge about the microstructur... Read More about Synchrotron X-ray CT of rose peduncles – evaluation of tissue damage by radiation*.

In wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) on an estate in Perthshire, central Scotland, the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii was 18/548 (3.3%). The wild rabbit could be a T. gondii reservoir and it has potential value as a sentinel of T. gondii in e...

Representing a complex acoustic scene with audio objects is desirable but challenging in object-based spatial audio production and reproduction, especially when concurrent sound signals are present in the scene. Source separation (SS) provides a pote... Read More about A source separation evaluation method in object-based spatial audio.
