Estimation equations for carcass composition were obtained using the information extracted from the carcass cross section by Computer Image Analysis (CIA). The total kilograms of lean, fat, and bone, and their percentages, were measured on the left side of the carcasses of F1 (cross-bred between Japanese Black and Holstein) steers by physical dissection. Traced data of the cross section between the 5th and 6th ribs (Data set I) and pictures of carcass cross section between the 7th and 8th ribs (Data set II) were subjected to image analysis. Various information on both the individual muscles and the overall outline of the cross section was extracted by the CIA technique. Maximum R2 improvement method of the stepwise procedure was used to choose the best regression equation to estimate carcass composition as total kilograms and percentages of lean, fat, and bone. The data sets were also adjusted for age and the stepwise procedure was also conducted. Coefficients of determination, adjusted for the degrees of freedom (adjusted R2) of the regression equations for estimating carcass composition, were high, i.e., 0.779 to 0.959 for kilograms of lean, fat, and bone, whereas for the percentages of lean, fat, and bone were high, i.e., 0.788 to 0.952, respectively. For the adjusted data, the adjusted R2 for estimating kilograms of lean, fat, and bone with Data sets I and II were 0.729, 0.633, and 0.598, and 0.813, 0.806, and 0.878, respectively, while for the percentages of lean, fat, and bone were 0.793, 0.623, and 0.378, and 0.953, 0.989, and 0.467, respectively. When the estimation equation obtained from the unadjusted Data set I was fitted with the information extracted from Data set II, the correlation coefficients between the values estimated by the equation and the values obtained by physical dissection on carcass composition were high, ranging from 0.70 to 0.92. On the other hand, the correlation coefficients obtained from the adjusted data sets were low.

In this study, a novel technique for measuring the thickness of electrospun nanofibrous mat based on image analysis techniques is proposed. The thicknesses of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyurethane (PU) nanofibrous mats are calculated using depth estimation in different views. The images are captured by a fixed scanning electron microscope (SEM) where the mat sample is rotated by 15[Formula: see text], 30[Formula: see text], and 45[Formula: see text] angles. By calculating the disparity value (the distance between two corresponding points in two images), the relative depth of images and consequently the thickness of nanofibrous mat are obtained. Furthermore, the thickness of three electrospun mats are measured from the cross-section view of the nanofibrous mat by scanning the electron microscopy. A close agreement between results obtained by this method at low angle views (15[Formula: see text]) and the direct thickness measurement obtained from the cross-section view is achieved. Comparison of the average thickness from the direct measurement and the proposed method for different samples exhibits a linear relationship with the high regression coefficient of 0.96. By using the proposed method, the quantitative evaluation of the thickness measurement becomes feasible over the entire surface of electrospun mats.

In the present study, the distribution of shear strain and warping in a square cross-section shaft generated under a large torsion is investigated using the image analysis based on the Natural Strain theory. The scribe lines are drawn in a grid on a surface of the test pieces made of natural rubber, and the image data of each element in the horizontal direction along the cross-section at the center and upper positions are taken by using a high-pixel camera equipped with macro lens. The distributions for shear strain and warping along the cross-section are obtained from that image data. These measured distributions under large deformation are compared with the distributions based on the conventional torsional theory of a square cross-section shaft, i.e., Saint Venant's theory for torsion. Moreover, taking the effect due to the elongation on the surface of specimens into consideration, the distributions modified elongation of gauge length are compared with experiments, and the validity of the present experimental results are confirmed in this paper.
