Root Associated Bacteria – Friends or Enemies? A Review
Journal Title: Memoirs of the Scientific Sections - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Plant roots, due to their exudates, represent important ecological niches for bacteria, which can influence the plant growth by their both beneficial and deleterious effects. The positive effects of bacteria interaction with the plants roots consist in facilitating the nutrient uptake (N, P), producing phytohormones, enhancing their resistance to biotic and abiotic factors such as pathogenic fungi and bacteria, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, salinity. Regarding the harmful effects of bacteria on plants growth, production of phytotoxins, competition for nutrients or inducing diseases or even plants death represents examples of mechanisms by which bacteria can affect in a negative manner the growth of the plants.

A second-order nonlinear parabolic PDE-based restoration model is provided in this article. The proposed anisotropic diffusion-based denoising approach is based on some robust versions of the edge-stopping function and o...
Brain Tumor Segmentation Based on Random Forest
In this article we present a discriminative model for tumor detection from multimodal MR images. The main part of the model is built around the random forest (RF) classifier. We created an optimization algorithm able to...
