A method and apparatus for evaluating soybean quality are disclosed. Automated or semi-automated image processing can be implemented with commercially available machine vision hardware. Post-harvest soybeans are separated, imaged, and analyzed to assess grain quality factors used in official grading. The system may be used prior to sale, purchase, further harvesting, or planting subsequent crops. The system reduces inspection errors, reduces variance in results, increases efficiency, enhances repeatability, and improves the standardization of soybean quality evaluation. Shape analysis, color analysis, and Haralick texture analysis are employed to determine when certain types of damage are present, to distinguish between types of damage, and to classify grains as smooth, cracked, or wrinkled. The system is sufficiently robust to allow successful deployment in rural, remote, and non-standard environments.

Ion-pairs known as GUMBOS (group of uniform materials based on organic salts) from antiseptics (chlorhexidine and octenidine) and the beta-lactam antibiotic, ceftriaxone. The antimicrobial efficacy of these GUMBOS and unreacted stoichiometric equivalent mixtures were compared to ceftriaxone and azithromycin alone. On a molar basis, GUMBOS were equivalent to ceftriaxone and 10× more effective in killing N. gonorrhoeae than azithromycin. They were more than 100× more effective than either antibiotic in killing CRE. A strategy involving the electrostatic interaction between a common antiseptic and a discontinued antibiotic (octenidine and carbenicillin) was also evaluated as a treatment for gonorrhoea. Octenidine/carbenicillin is a novel group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS) with inherent in vitro antibacterial activity that comes from its parent antiseptic and antibacterial ions, octenidine and carbenicillin, respectively.

A microRNA sensing platform is disclosed that is sensitive, accurate, easy to use, affordable, and that does not require expensive equipment on the part of the end-user. The sensing system can be used as a sensitive and accurate miRNA profiling platform to monitor the progression of diseases, or treatment regimen, or personalized diagnosis, or personalized prognosis. The entire RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which holds the mature miRNA, is preserved in the system. The RISC is allowed to perform its native functions. These native functions not only protect the miRNA from degradation during the isolation process, but can also help eliminate false targets. The system sensitively and selectively responds to the presence or absence of RISCs bearing the target miRNA.

System and methods for enabling a mobile robot for autonomous missions are described. Despite some mobile robots having the capability of safely traversing complex terrains, mobile robots still behave like a typical machine which can only respond to a human's commands via an interactive controller. For example, a human will drive the mobile robot to desired locations, position it, and activate actions as desired in order to complete a mission. As such, it is desirable to enable a mobile robot with the capability of executing and completing a mission without a human's involvement. The present disclosures includes innovative technology which enables an ordinary user to quickly define a complex mission in the form that a mobile robot can understand and automatically execute it accordingly.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for an adjustable neural network. Systems measure feature applicability for an octave of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) at a standard scale, resulting in (1) at least one drop-off point where the octave no longer resonates with pre-defined features; and (2) a common drop-off between the CNN and at least one other CNN trained on at least one other separate domain. The system can then measure octave resonance for a plurality of CNNs trained on large data sets with a distribution of octaves for features, and measure a pattern of octaves learned in the CNN, resulting in a measurement pattern. The system can then compare that measurement pattern to the pre-defined features, resulting in a level of adaptability of the CNN, and modify the CNN based on the level of adaptability of the CNN, resulting in a modified CNN.

A composition and method for killing feral hogs: a bait that is attractive to hogs is mixed with a lethal amount of sodium nitrite, along with sufficient base to inhibit decomposition of the sodium nitrite. At sufficiently high pH, encapsulation of the sodium nitrite is not required to inhibit decomposition. In the absence of substantial decomposition, the sodium nitrite itself is not aversive to the pigs, and may even enhance acceptance of the baits by the pigs. Optionally, an anti-emetic compound is added to the mixture to reduce the likelihood the bait will be vomited. Optionally, an additional toxicant such as luteolin is added to the mixture.

Abrégé
Methods for treatment for patients suffering from disease or condition are contemplated as including an administration of an intravenous infusion of a pharmaceutically effective amount of psilocybin or psilocin. The intravenous infusion of psilocybin or psilocin may include an additional compound such as a benzodiazepine, preferably lorazepam, administered via a continuous intra-venous infusion. Such methods may be seen to better alleviate the symptoms of psychological conditions, neurological injuries, pain, or inflammatory condition, and may result in reduced need for other medications.
