Abstract The goal of the research described in the article was to develop the device for the automatic scarification of acorns and computer vision-based assessment of their viability. The color image of the intersection of the tissue of cotyledons was selected as a key feature for separating healthy seeds from the spoiled ones. Because the device is being designed for the diagnosis of high volume of seeds aiming at producing high-quality seedlings, several assessment criteria of the overall design of the automaton are being assessed. The basic one is the overall accuracy of viability recognition. The other refers to particular functions implemented in the model of the device being described.

Abstract Background and study aims Colonoscopy for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has reduced CRC incidence and mortality and improved prognosis. Optimal bowel preparation and high-quality endoscopic technique facilitate early CRC detection.This review provides a narrative on the clinical importance of bowel preparation for colonoscopy and highlights available bowel preparations. Methods A PubMed search was conducted through June 2019 to identify studies evaluating clinical outcomes, efficacy, safety, and tolerability associated with bowel preparation for CRC screening-related colonoscopy. Results Selecting the optimal bowel preparation regimen is based on considerations of efficacy, safety, and tolerability, in conjunction with individual patient characteristics and preferences. Available bowel preparations include high-volume (4 L) and low-volume (2 L and 1 L), polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions, sodium sulfate, sodium picosulfate/magnesium oxide plus anhydrous citric acid, sodium phosphate tablets, and the over-the-counter preparations magnesium citrate and PEG-3350. These preparations may be administered as a single dose on the same day or evening before, or as two doses administered the same day or evening before/morning of colonoscopy. Ingesting at least half the bowel preparation on the day of colonoscopy (split-dosing) is associated with higher adequate bowel preparation quality versus evening-before dosing (odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.9−3.4). Conclusions High-quality bowel preparation is integral for optimal CRC screening/surveillance by colonoscopy. Over the last 30 years, patients and providers have gained more options for bowel preparation, including low-volume agents with enhanced tolerability and cleansing quality that are equivalent to 4 L preparations. Split-dosing is preferred for achieving a high-quality preparation.

200 Background: The successful implementation of a tumor genomics program relies heavily upon the collection of high quality tumor tissue samples. Although there has been an evolution towards utilizing formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, many research centers continue to rely upon frozen fresh tissue for these types of analyses. A comprehensive effort is required to supply high-volume and high-quality tissue for research. Most community hospitals, even with superb pathology departments, are not well suited to deliver consistent tissue samples without a concerted programmatic effort. As part of the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), we undertook the development of such capability at our hospital. In addition, as a member of H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center’s Total Cancer Care program, we received grant funding to help support this comprehensive effort. Our patients and clinicians expressed a strong desire to participate in this type of translational research. This project has been funded in part with federal funds from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, under Contract No. HHSN261200800001E. Methods: We developed a comprehensive staffing model to implement this program, including a program coordinator, consenters, pathology assistant, lab aide, and data manager. We developed superb relationships with surgeons, interventional radiologists, pathologists and staffs to assure appropriate referrals and processes, and implemented quality checks as a standard. We developed relationships with Moffitt, The Cancer Genome Atlas, and other research efforts, which help provide funding. Results: We successfully implemented a program which resulted in high levels of patient and provider satisfaction, high numbers of fresh frozen and FFPE tissues (nearly 3,000 over 3 years), high quality pass rates, low ischemia time, and high satisfaction on the part of our research partners. We have incorporated best practices in our tissue handling protocols. Conclusions: We successfully implemented a comprehensive cancer genomics bio-specimen program utilizing dedicated staff, working with patients and clinicians closely, and assuring careful coordination of all efforts.

Field Production

A high tunnel environment was evaluated for production of leaf (`Two Star') and romaine (`Parris Island Cos') lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in a northern location (lat. 64°49'N). Ten plantings were made 1 week apart from May to August. Averaged over the season, the air temperature was 1.5 °C and the soil 0.8 °C higher in the high tunnel than the field. `Two Star' planted on 3 Aug. and harvested on 16 Sept. produced higher yield (P < 0.001) in the tunnel. Head weight was 195 ± 12 g in the tunnel and 99 ± 8 g in the field. For the 13 July-planted `Two Star' lettuce, the field produced significantly (P < 0.001) more at 202 ± 21 g/head than the 135 ± 29 g/head in the tunnel. The three consecutive field plantings of 1, 8, and 15 June resulted in higher `Parris Island Cos' yields than corresponding plantings in the high tunnel. Head weights for harvests on 11, 18, and 25 July were 457 ± 60, 476 ± 65, and 478 ± 25 g under field conditions and 354 ± 46, 331 ± 52, and 312 ± 14 g in the high tunnel. `Two Star' was observed less prone to bolting than `Parris Island Cos'. Although a high tunnel did not generally support increased productivity in this study, the added protection resulted in high quality lettuce with limited necessary preparation and marketing loss in comparison to the field-grown lettuce.

Safe Delivery

  The problem of delivering aviation fuel to military aircraft in the field includes not only ensuring the appropriate fuel quality, but also the safety of its transport. Delivering the appropriate amount of fuel to a specific place, irrespective of the terrain conditions, brings many difficulties. They are related to the availability of the appropriate transport equipment that would enable the safe delivery of high-quality aviation fuel to aircraft, regardless of the condition of access roads to airports and airfields. The article analyzes mobility capabilities of the available transport equipment, as well as its suitability and functionality under field conditions.
