To solve the problems of the low image contrast, fuzzy edge details and edge details missing in noisy image fusion, this study proposes a noisy infrared and visible light image fusion algorithm based on non-subsample contourlet transform (NSCT) and an improved bilateral filter, which uses NSCT to decompose an image into a low-frequency component and high-frequency component. High-frequency noise and edge information are mainly distributed in the high-frequency component, and the improved bilateral filtering method is used to process the high-frequency component of two images, filtering the noise of the images and calculating the image detail of the infrared image's high-frequency component. It can extract the edge details of the infrared image and visible image as much as possible by superimposing the high-frequency component of infrared image and visible image. At the same time, edge information is enhanced and the visual effect is clearer. For the fusion rule of low-frequency coefficient, the local area standard variance coefficient method is adopted. At last, we decompose the high- and low-frequency coefficient to obtain the fusion image according to the inverse transformation of NSCT. The fusion results show that the edge, contour, texture and other details are maintained and enhanced while the noise is filtered, and the fusion image with a clear edge is obtained. The algorithm could better filter noise and obtain clear fused images in noisy infrared and visible light image fusion.

This study was carried out to optimize the concentration of Ca2+ and pH of fusion medium which affected electrofusion frequency of protoplasts isolated from Nicotiana tabacum L. (cv. BY4) mesophyll cells and callus. The protoplasts were electrofused in the fusion media containing two different Ca2+ concentrations and three different pH regions. Fusion frequency was lower in the fusion medium containing only 13% mannitol as osmotic stabilizer. However, higher degree of fusion frequency (47.3%) was observed in the fusion medium containing 50mM CaCl2 at pH 10.5 than any other conditions. Cell viability was decreased by Ca2+ and high pH treatment in the fusion media, while fusion frequency was increased. It is concluded that Ca2+ is involved in electrofusion of protoplasts.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the fusion phenomenon that appears in contemporary women's denim fashion in order to find a way to come up with a creative denim design. The methodology of this study is to research documents related to fusion phenomena and consider precedent studies to establish a criteria for analyzing fusion phenomena. The results are as follows: First, fusion phenomena in modern women's denim can be categorized into fusion of time, fusion of space, fusion of gender, fusion of culture, and fusion of genre. Fusion of time appears as fusion with the past and fusion with the future. Fusion of space appears as fusion with Asia and fusion with other regions. Fusion of gender appears as unisex, androgynous, and genderless. Fusion of culture appears as fusion with subcultures such as grunge, kidult, lingerie, hippy look, hip hop fashion, etc. Finally, fusion of genre appears as fusion of materials, fusion of style, and fusion of circumstances. Second, when analyzing the frequency of appearance for fusion phenomena, fusion of culture appeared with a frequency of 29.7%, followed by fusion of genre with 19.1%, fusion of time with 10.5%, fusion of gender with 9.9%, and fusion of space with 8.5%. When analyzing the most frequently appearing fusion phenomena by year, fusion of culture appeared the most from the year 2000 to 2004, fusion of space and time in 2005, fusion of genre from 2006 to 2007, fusion of culture again in 2008 and 2009, and once more fusion of genre appeared the most in 2010.

The conditions for the protoplast fusion of auxotrophic mutants of Trichoderma koningii were determined. A preparation of commercial enzyme Driselase was used successfully to isolate protoplasts from the 18 hr old mycelium of T. koningii. The yields of protoplasts production were ranged from $0.3{\times}10^8$ to $2.5{\times}10^8$ protoplasts per mg of damp mycelium of various auxotrophic mutant strains. The regeneration frequencies from $9.3{\times}10^{-3}\;to\;2.0{\times}10^{-1}$ were obtained when the protoplasts from auxotrophic mutants were plated on the malt extract medium containing 0.6M $MgSO_4$, and 2% agar, and the optimal concentration of PEG for protoplst fusion was 30%. Exposure of protoplasts to PEG for 10 min was found to be sufficient to induce high frequency heterokaryon formation. Optimal pH of fusion mixture was determined as 5.5, and 1 mM of calcium chloride in fusion mixture was found to be sufficient to enhance protoplast fusion frequency. Under optimal condition, the fusion frequency of the cross between protoplasts from various auxotrophic mutants were $1.6{\times}10^{-2}\;and\;4.1{\times}10^{-2}$.

Among the various image fusion or pan-sharpening methods, those wavelet-based methods provide superior radiometric quality. However, the fusion processing is not only simple but also flexible, since many low- and high-frequency sub-bands are often produced in the wavelet domain. To address this issue, a novel DT-CWT (Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) proportional to the fusion method by a WZP (Wavelet Zero-Padding) is proposed. The proposed method produces a single high-frequency image in the spatial domain that is injected into the LRM (Low-Resolution Multispectral) image. Thus, a wavelet domain fusion can be simplified to spatial domain fusion. In addition, in the proposed DT-CWTP (DT-CWT Proportional) fusion method, it is unnecessary to decompose the LRM image by adopting WZP. The comparison indicates that the proposed fusion method is nearly five times faster than the DT-CWT with SW (Substitute-Wavelet) fusion method, meanwhile simultaneously maintaining the radiometric quality. The conducted experiments with WorldView-2 satellite images demonstrated promising results with the computation efficiency and fused image quality.

In this paper, we propose a two-scale fusion method for infrared and visible images using saliency and variance. The images are separated into two scales respectively: a base layer of low frequency component and a detailed layer of high frequency component. Then, these are synthesized using weight. The saliencies and the variances of the images are used as the fusion weights for the two-scale images. The proposed method is tested on several image pairs, and its performance is evaluated quantitatively by using objective fusion metrics.
