Bingo.
But before I go, I am documenting everything!

SPRAY DROPLET SPECTRUM ANALYSIS SYSTEM USING IMAGE-PRO PLUS
The spray droplet spectrum analysis is aimed at providing easy,fast,and accurate analysis of spread droplets from agricultural spraying appliances(such as nozzels)
Gee, I wonder, could they possibly need this kind of equipment for spraying some goodies!
Please post article someone!
It has pictures and graphs!
"No" to all your questions.
Spray Droplet Spectrum Analysis System Using Image-Pro Plus Note # 102 [Previous Note] [Notes Directory] [Next Note]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spray droplet spectrum analysis system is aimed at providing easy, fast, and accurate analysis of spread droplets from agricultural spraying appliances (such as nozzles). The agricultural spraying appliances used for applying liquid pesticides do not atomize the liquid into droplets of identical size, but into a range of droplets of various sizes. The atomization of spray liquid into the various droplet sizes is known as the droplet spectrum. It is important to measure the droplet spectrum to determine the amount of pesticide to be used and to check the uniformity and efficiency of the spraying device.
Image-Pro Plus, image processing software, provides in-depth and precise measurement analysis of the spread droplet. This eliminates human error and maintains the highest qualtiy standard possible. The system is able to determine:
Spread droplet size and number in unit area Spread factor - spreading of droplet on paper due to the characteristics of paper and liquid mixture Actual droplet size and number Droplet density - number of droplet per unit are Volume of a droplet Reports can be saved in text format using text (*.txt) files and can be used in any Windows application. The application provides graphs for NMD and VMD. This graphical information is easy to understand and analyze and printouts of the graphs can be generated and saved.
To analyze the spray droplet spectrum produced by a particular nozzle or sprayer, the sprayer is operated at fixed parameters. The water and color dye mixture is sprayed keeping kromocote paper on target, i.e. leaves of a plant. The spray droplets are deposited on papers after settlement and after drying, these papers are removed from the target. The images of these papers are grabbed using a microscope and camera. The images are analyzed in seconds by Image-Pro Plus, providing the spread droplet size and number of droples in the unit area.
Next, the actual droplet size is calculated by dividing spread droplet size by spread factor. For analysis purposes, these droplets are arranged into different ranges, e.g. 0-5 micron. The droplets are sized so that the number of droplets within a given diameter range can be expressed as percentage volume of droplets multiplied by number of droplets. The percentage of the spray volume in each range and its cumulative percentage are then calculated.

Now, If I could just learn to research like you and backhoe.
So was/is Bin Laden!
If ya google Mahfouz+BCCI+Bin Laden+Bush, you get a whole lot of hits!
Since you bring BCCI up,now dont go nuts freepers,how is Bush going to respond to a Helen Thomas when she asks "When will you tell the American people about your relationship to Bin Laden and Mafouz?"
Please dont let this Bush connection detract from the seriousness of this HYBRIDON mess!
As you search to find the terrorists, document with an open mind!
Who would have believed three weeks ago that World War 3 was coming?
wonder who gets control of the afgani poppy field concession?
