Size of uniformity trials for estimating the optimum plot size for vegetables [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2015
The aim of this work was to determine the uniformity trial size for estimating the optimum plot size in order to evaluate the fruit mass of tomato, snap-beans and zucchini. The mass of fruits was evaluated in uniformity trials with tomato grown in plastic tunnel in spring-summer and autumn-winter seasons, with snap-beans in plastic greenhouse in autumn-

New Insights into Coating Uniformity and Base Sheet Structures

, 2009
Base sheet structures, such as surface roughness and mass density distribution (formation), have been known to affect coating uniformity. However, the literature is not necessarily consistent in determining which structure controls coating uniformity ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Need for Uniformity in Collection and Reporting of Data in Cancer Clinical Trials [PDF]

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1990
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has recently publicized the need for increasing accrual of patients to clinical trials. A recent editorial by NCI officials stated that currently only l%-3% of patients afflicted with the major forms of cancer are treated on NCI-supported trials (7).

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

The value of a uniformity trial in field experimentation with rubber

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1934
1. Sanders’ method of utilising previous crop records to correct experimental results by means of a linear regression is briefly described.2. The method is applied to yield figures from rubber trees in Sumatra, and the precision of a dummy experiment is thereby increased nearly fourfold when the “preliminary” and “experimental” years are consecutive ...
