Abstract The computerized image analysis system has been successfully used for determination and statistical processing of the following geometric characteristics of activated sludge flocs: longest dimension, breadth, equivalent diameter, cross-sectional area, perimeter, elongation, and circularity. These parameters could be effectively and precisely determined by the system applied. In addition, the studied method, as compared to direct microscope observation and photography floc-sizing methods, was found to be more accurate, less time-consuming, and less dependent on the investigators.

Immunohistochemical Techniques

Soluble fibronectin and nerve growth factor (NGF) promote axonal regeneration when placed in silicone tubes. We investigated the ability of orientated fibronectin mats to bind and release bioactive NGF and the possibility of augmenting axonal regeneration following axotomy by using fibronectin conduits impregnated with NGF. The release of NGF was quantified using a fluorometric ELISA and bioactivity confirmed with a neuronal culture bioassay. Immunohistochemical techniques and computerized image analysis were used to assess the rate and volume of axonal and Schwann cell regeneration. The delivery of NGF to the site of injury produced an increase in the rate ( P≤0.007) and volume ( P≤0.004) of both axonal and Schwann cell regeneration when compared to conduits of plain fibronectin. We conclude that the local delivery of NGF by impregnated fibronectin conduits enhances axonal regeneration.

A computerized image analysis package (ImagePro+) was evaluated as an alternative method for morphometric analysis of electron micrographs of microalgal cells. The morphometric analysis was demonstrated with micrographs of the marine alga Nannochloropsis sp. grown under high and low light intensity. We applied the ImagePro+ package to estimate the relative volume of an organelle based on the ratio of perimeters of the organelle and the cell. The measurements included the volumes of chloroplasts, mitochondria, nuclei, vacuoles, and accumulation bodies, all relative to cell volume. The length of thylakoids was measured using the same package. The results obtained by ImagePro+ were compared to those of the traditional manual and laborious method involving the superimposition of an array of short lines on the micrograph. A high correlation between the methods was found. The following correlations were found for chloroplast, nucleus, and accumulation bodies: 0.96, 0.92, and 0.75, respectively. The correlation between length of thylakoids (ImagePro+) and surface area of thylakoids (superimposition) was 0.82.

Historical Periods

We present the results of our image analysis of portrait art from the Roman Empire’s Julio-Claudian dynastic period. Our novel approach involves processing pictures of ancient statues, cameos, altar friezes, bas-reliefs, frescoes, and coins using modern mobile apps, such as Reface and FaceApp, to improve identification of the historical subjects depicted. In particular, we have discovered that the Reface app has limited, but useful capability to restore the approximate appearance of damaged noses of the statues. We confirm many traditional identifications, propose a few identification corrections for items located in museums and private collections around the world, and discuss the advantages and limitations of our approach. For example, Reface may make aquiline noses appear wider or shorter than they should be. This deficiency can be partially corrected if multiple views are available. We demonstrate that our approach can be extended to analyze portraiture from other cultures and historical periods. The article is intended for a broad section of the readers interested in how the modern AI-based solutions for mobile imaging merge with humanities to help improve our understanding of the modern civilization’s ancient past and increase appreciation of our diverse cultural heritage.
