Abstract: The goals of this study were to evaluate herbicide application rates at different timings for preharvest desiccation of wheat (Trial 1), as well as to evaluate the effect of the timing of herbicide desiccation at preharvest and harvest timing (Trial 2) on yield, germination, and herbicide residue in wheat seed. In Trial 1, treatments consisted of two application rates of glufosinate, glyphosate, paraquat, or paraquat+diuron and a control without application; application time periods were in the milk grain to early dough stage, soft dough to hard dough stage, and hard dough stage. In Trial 2, treatments consisted of different application time periods (milk grain to early dough stage, and soft dough to hard dough stage), different herbicides (glufosinate, 2,4-D+glyphosate, and untreated control), and different harvest times (5, 10 and 15 days after herbicide application). One thousand seeds weight, yield, first and final germination count, and herbicide residue on seeds were evaluated. Preharvest desiccation with paraquat, glufosinate, and 2,4-D+glyphosate at the milk grain to early dough stage reduces wheat yield. Regardless of the herbicide and application rate, application in the milk grain to early dough stage and soft dough to hard dough stage provides greater germination of wheat seeds, except at the lower dose of paraquat. Systemic herbicides accumulate more in wheat seeds.

BACKGROUNDFor alcohol-based hand rubs, the currently recommended application time of 30 seconds is longer than the actual time spent in clinical practice. We investigated whether a shorter application time of 15 seconds is microbiologically safe in neonatal intensive care and may positively influence compliance with the frequency of hand antisepsis actions.METHODSWe conducted in vitro experiments to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of hand rubs within 15 seconds, followed by clinical observations to assess the effect of a shortened hand antisepsis procedure under clinical conditions in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). An independent observer monitored the frequency of hand antisepsis actions during shifts.RESULTSAll tested hand rubs fulfilled the requirement of equal or even significantly higher efficacy within 15 seconds when compared to a reference alcohol propan-2-ol 60% (v/v) within 30 seconds. Microbiologically, reducing the application time to 15 seconds had a similar effect when compared to 30-second hand rubbing, but it resulted in significantly increased frequency of hand antisepsis actions (7.9±4.3 per hour vs 5.8±2.9 per hour; P=.05).CONCLUSIONTime pressure and workload are recognized barriers to compliance. Therefore, reducing the recommended time for hand antisepsis actions, using tested and well-evaluated hand rub formulations, may improve hand hygiene compliance in clinical practice.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:1430–1434

Abstract BACKGROUND: The excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis (ELANA) technique facilitates the construction of an end-to-side anastomosis between a donor vessel and a recipient artery without the need to temporarily occlude the recipient artery. OBJECTIVE: To test whether the surgically difficult ELANA technique can be simplified. METHODS: In 42 rabbits, with the aorta as the recipient artery and human saphenous veins as donor grafts, we made 30 conventional ELANAs with 8 microsutures, 90 ELANAs with 4 microsutures (ELANA-4s), 40 ELANAs with 2 microsutures (ELANA-2s), and 90 sutureless ELANAs (SELANAs). SELANA involved a new ring design with 2 pins. ELANA-4, ELANA-2, and SELANA were each combined with 3 different sealants (Bioglue , Tachoseal, and Tisseel ) and compared regarding application time, complications, and burst pressure. RESULTS: The conventional ELANA was constructed in a mean of 14.8 ± 2.6 minutes. All experimental anastomoses were constructed significantly faster; the ELANA-4 in a mean of 10.9 ± 1.3 minutes, the ELANA-2 in a mean of 5.4 ± 1.7 minutes, and the SELANA in a mean of 2.5 ± 1.8 minutes. All ELANA and ELANA-4 anastomoses were sufficiently strong with a burst pressure > 200 mm Hg, except for 1 insufficiently sealed ELANA-4 anastomosis. ELANA-2 was sufficiently strong only with Bioglue, showing a burst pressure < 280 mm Hg. SELANA was sufficiently strong with Bioglue or TachoSil, showing a burst pressure < 260 mm Hg. CONCLUSION: The ELANA technique can be simplified by reducing or even abandoning microsutures. Of the experimental anastomoses tested, we consider the SELANA technique combined with TachoSil of most potential benefit. Long-term survival studies will be performed in animals before we consider using any of these new techniques in patients.

A novel concurrent core test approach is proposed to reduce the test cost of SoC. Before test, a novel test set sharing strategy is proposed to obtain a minimum size of merged test set by merging the test sets corresponding to cores under test (CUT).Moreover, it can be used in conjunction with general compression/decompression techniques to further reduce test data volume (TDV). During test, the proposed vector separating device which is composed of a set of simple combinational logical circuit (CLC) is designed for separating the vector from the merged test set to the correspondent test core. This approach does not add any test vector for each core and can test synchronously to reduce test application time (TAT). Experimental results for ISCAS’ 89 benchmarks have been rproven the efficiency of the proposed approach.
