This document presents a new and improved, more intuitive version of a novel method for visually representing the location of objects relative to each other in 3D. The motivation and inspiration for developing this new method came from the necessity for objective chromosome territory (CT) adjacency analysis. The earlier version, Distance Profile Chart (DPC), used octants for 3D orientation. This approach did not provide the best 3D space coverage since space was divided into just eight cones and was not intuitive with regard to orientation in 3D. However, the version presented in this article, called DPC12, allows users to achieve better space coverage during conification since space is now divided into twelve cones. DPC12 is faster than DPC and allows for a more precise determination of the location of objects in 3D. In this article a short introduction about the conification idea is presented. Then we explain how DPC12 is designed and created. After that, we show DPC12 on an instructional dataset to make it easier to understand and demonstrate how they appear and how to read them. Finally, using DPC12 we present an example of an adjacency analysis (AA) using the model of Chromosome Territories (CTs) distribution in the rice nucleus.

A novel method was developed for the determination of linting propensity of paper based on printing with an IGT printability tester and image analysis of the printed strips. On average, the total fraction of the surface removed as lint during printing is 0.01%-0.1%. This value is lower than those reported in most laboratory printing tests, and more representative of commercial offset printing applications. Newsprint paper produced on a roll/blade former machine was evaluated for linting propensity using the novel method and also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. Laboratory and commercial printing results matched well, showing that linting was higher for the bottom side of paper than for the top side, and that linting could be reduced on both sides by application of a dry-strength additive. In a second case study, varying wet-end conditions were used on a hybrid former machine to produce four paper reels, with the goal of matching the low linting propensity of the paper produced on a machine with gap former configuration. We found that the retention program, by improving fiber fines retention, substantially reduced the linting propensity of the paper produced on the hybrid former machine. The papers were also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. An excellent correlation was found between the total lint area removed from the bottom side of the paper samples during laboratory printing and lint collected on halftone areas of the first upper printing unit after 45000 copies. Finally, the method was applied to determine the linting propensity of highly filled supercalendered paper produced on a hybrid former machine. In this case, the linting propensity of the bottom side of paper correlated with its ash content.

A precise method for the determination of the increment of the  basal area using the PressIer bore. Refering to  previous research showing that the basal area of the corsica pine could be  characterized by an ellips, we present in this paper a precise method for the  determination of the increment of the basal area. In this method we determine  the direction of the maximum diameter, we measure this diameter and we take a  core in one of the points of tangency of the caliper with the measured tree.  The determination of the diameter perpendicular to the maximum diameter  finishes the work wich is to be done in the forest. From the classical  measurements effectuated on the core and from the measured diameters we can  then determine the form (V) and the excentricity (e). Substituting these two  parameters in the formula 2 or 2', we can also calculate the error of a  radius measured on the core with respect to the representative radius, This  error with them allow us to correct the measured value of the minimum or the  maximum radius and we will be able to do a precise determination of the  increment.
