Assessing the effect of machine automation on operator heart and breathing rate during mechanical harvesting of wild blueberries

Smart Agricultural Technology, 2023
Wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) are among eastern Canada's most economically important crops. Despite this, the industry faces significant labor shortages required to harvest the over 69 000 ha of wild blueberry land each year. Automation

A fruit recognition method for automatic harvesting

2007 14th International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice, 2007
This paper presents a method to detect and recognize mature tomato fruit clusters on a complex-structured tomato plant containing clutter and occlusion in a tomato greenhouse for automatic harvesting purpose. A color stereo vision camera (PGR BumbleBee2) is applied as the vision sensor.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.
