A microcomputer based method for the rapid and detailed measurement of seedling root systems

Summary A simple method for making detailed measurements of seedling root systems is described. Photocopies of root systems are traced over by an operator using a digitizing system attached to a microcomputer. The computer calculates and prints the lengths of axis, laterals and sublaterals for each root system. Accurate measurements can be achieved with a degree of speed and detail unobtainable by other methods.

Simulation of forest carbon dynamics based on a dry-matter production model

A microcomputer model for forest carbon dynamics with five functional comparments (atmosphere, foliage, woody-parts, roots and dead biomass in the soil) is constructed which incorporates dry-matter production processes of trees such as photosynthesis, respiration and allocation of photosynthate. The effect of photosynthesis rate at saturated light and dark respiration rate of a single leaf upon surplus production (P _s) is three-dimensionally illustrated as a function of cumulative leaf area index (LAI) and extinction coefficient of light. Probable values of the physiological parameters in this model are determined by repeated simulation experiments. The successional pattern during a period of 100 years is simulated, demonstrating stable and perpetual occurrence of a tropical rainforest ecosystem composed of three strata. The model is also analyzed in terms of response of relative initial density of trees, thereby displaying the law of constant final yield in a forest ecosystem. The model outputs of carbon fluxes and phytomasses at the steady state agree quite well with field data already obtained from a tropical rainforest at Pasoh.     

An interactive microcomputer program for the computation of most probable number

An interactive computer program for the rapid computation of Most Probable Numbers (MPN) with 95% confidence intervals and goodness-of-fit, is presented. The program, written in ‘MICROSOFT BASIC’ employs an iterative algorithm based on a modification of the Newton-Raphson method and accomodates any number of replicates up to ten dilutions. It is applicable to most microcomputers with little or no modification. Since the computed MPN, confidence interval,a nd goodness-of-fit tests are displayed simultaneously, MPN tables are no longer required.     

A simple computer-based video image analysis system and potential applications to microbiology

An inexpensive microcomputer-based image analysis system is described in which an Apple microcomputer acquires data from a video camera or video cassette recorder and measures the brightness of the image received at specified points or areas. Suggested uses for this apparatus include measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence in algal cells, determination of the effects of ultraviolet illumination on chlorophyll fluorescence, estimation of total amounts of chlorophyll in a microscope field, and microspectrophotometic and microdensitometic measurements. A similar ssytem using the IBM personal computer with a different interface is also described.

The use of a microcomputer to collect activity data

ABSTRACT. Use of small microcomputers to collect and record from the outputs of activity detectors is described in simple terms for the uninitiated. Provided simple external latches are used, the microcomputer may be programmed in a high level language, such as BASIC, and the system can be used to control light or temperature cycles. Data are acquired and control effected through an 8-bit parallel 'user' port, as fitted to most microcomputers, and details are given of the installation of such a port.
