aside from mechanization , digital imaging has emerged as a cornerstone to capturing quantitative phenotypic information under most automated or semi - automated approaches . imaging has allowed many aspects of plant development , function , and health to be monitored , measured and tracked in ways previously unattainable using conventional metrics . large image data sets , however , require novel software solutions in order to process and extract meaningful estimates of phenotypic variation . most image analysis tools for plant phenotyping incorporate predefined processing and analysis procedures into semi - automatic or automatic routines in order to quantify multiple phenotypes from single images or groups of images .

recently , it has been argued that automated , high - throughput , field - based organismal phenotyping techniques involving remote sensing ( such as near - infrared spectroscopy mounted on agricultural harvesters to measure spectral canopy reflectance with the aid of global positioning system ( gps ) - guided tractors ) will enhance the precision and accuracy of phenotyping without extracting plants from the production environment ( cabrera - bosquet et al . 2012 ; houle et al . 2010 ; montes et al . 2007 ; tuberosa 2012 ; white et al . 2012 ) . while these efforts can certainly facilitate selection for enhanced performance in a target zone of adaptation , one of the biggest challenges associated with these automated , field - based technologies is the variable nature of most natural environments .

since that time , there has been an increased interest in legislation that would mandate that school curricula include training in cpr or cpr and automated external defibrillation . laws or curriculum content standards in 36 states ( as of the 2009–2010 school year ) now encourage the inclusion of cpr training programs in school curricula . the language in those laws and standards varies greatly , ranging from a suggestion that students “recognize” the steps of cpr to a requirement for certification in cpr . not surprisingly , then , implementation is not uniform among states , even those whose laws or standards encourage cpr training in schools in the strongest language . this statement recommends that training in cpr and familiarization with automated external defibrillators ( aeds ) should be required elements of secondary school curricula and provides the rationale for implementation of cpr training , as well as guidance in overcoming barriers to implementation .

we have discussed the role of phenotyping in gene discovery and crop improvement through both gwas and gs , and we have attempted to understand the complexities incumbent on the association of genotype with phenotype under variable environmental conditions . we considered strategies that permit the collection of phenotypic data in quantitative ways as well as the development of modular technologies to accommodate the changing needs and opportunities of phenotyping in the future . we have pondered on the best practices for storing , cataloging , managing , and disseminating this information within a community , and suggested how this data might be combined with cutting edge statistical analysis to leverage increased computing capacity ( fig .

approaching many of these questions will require more refined strategies of collecting and managing phenotype data . many of the considerations that need to be addressed before making decisions about defining a phenotyping approach include : how easy is it to evaluate the phenotype ? how quantitative is that measurement ? can the process be automated ? if so , does it make economic sense to do so ? what value would automation bring ? what indirect factors will influence the phenotypic measurement ? can they be quantified ? how much storage capacity do i need to maintain the raw or processed phenotypic data ? how will the data be organized so that it is both query - able and understandable ? what data processing needs must be considered before the phenotype is biologically meaningful ? do i have the skills in - house or appropriate collaborators in place to realize a sophisticated analysis of the data ? answers to these questions will depend entirely on the purpose and intention of collecting phenotypic data to start with , and of course the nature of the phenotype itself .

typically , common susceptibility loci captured via case : control association studies exert subtle molecular and cellular alterations with remote effects on gene transcription , protein structure , or protein function ( mccarthy and hirschhorn , 2008 ) . a complex clinical phenotype , such as seizure type or epilepsy syndrome , therefore tends to be indirectly predicted by any associated genotype . although large - scale multisite meta - analyses may boost power to detect subtle biological effects , several creative alternatives may help to sidestep the complicated phenotype integrity of common epilepsy syndromes ( pal and strug , 2014 ) . one widely investigated alternative is the use of intermediate quantitative traits ( qts ) that may be closer to the underlying biology of the disease than the clinical phenotype . these intermediate qts are commonly referred to as endophenotypes .

whole - brain , voxel - wise comparisons of brain diffusion tensor imaging ( dti ) measures , including fractional anisotropy ( fa ) and mean diffusivity ( md ) , in a group of patients with mri - negative mesial temporal lobe epilepsy ( mtle ) , their asymptomatic siblings and healthy controls are shown ( whelan et al . , 2015a ) . patients with mtle demonstrated patterns of reduced fa ( illustrated in red ) in voxel clusters encompassing the corpus callosum , ipsilateral anterior thalamic radiation , ipsilateral corticospinal tract ( cst ) , bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculi ( slf ) , and bilateral inferior longitudinal fasciculi ( ilf ) compared to healthy controls . the asymptomatic siblings did not show significant fa compromise when compared to the same controls . compared to controls , mtle patients exhibited patterns of increased md across the slf bilaterally and the cst ipsilaterally ( illustrated in blue ) . similar patterns of increased md along the ipsilateral slf and ipsilateral cst ( illustrated in yellow ) were noted in the asymptomatic siblings .

additionally , more genetically structured resources such as chromosome segment substitution lines ( ali et al . 2010 ; lu et al . 2011 ; wang et al . 2012 ; fukuoka et al . 2010 ; xu et al . 2010 ; zhang et al . 2011 ) , multi - parent advanced generation inter - cross ( magic ) populations ( huang et al . 2011 , 2012 ; rakshit et al . 2012 ) , and nested association mapping ( nam ) populations ( yu et al . 2008 ) will permit the interrogation of natural variation in elite genetic backgrounds that may be intractable otherwise . these genetically structured populations partition the variation in ways that facilitate the identification of exotic alleles that may have a significant impact on a phenotype of interest , but only when introgressed into the elite background . they also expedite the subsequent use of these resources as parents in a breeding program , helping expand the range of genetic variation available in an elite gene pool and opening up new opportunities to utilize natural variation to drive crop improvement .
the purchase and maintenance of cpr training manikins and aed simulators are a significant part of training costs and have been identified as a significant barrier to implementing cpr training in high schools . 100 beyond the initial purchase , storage and maintenance ( dismantling , disinfection , and reassembly ) of manikins between courses consumes measurable resources . it is possible to mitigate this cost by having volunteers such as students or parent - teacher association members perform these tasks . since the reder and quan survey was conducted , many new manikin designs are available , some at significantly lower cost than those available in 1999 . schools should consider 4 important factors when choosing manikins : durability , maintenance ( cleaning , disinfection , and cost of replacement parts ) , cost of nonreusable elements if any ( such as face shields or lungs ) , and functional characteristics . manikins used for conventional cpr skills training ( rescue breathing and chest compressions ) should mimic the human airway in requiring the head tilt–chin lift maneuver to allow air to enter the lungs , the capacity of the human lungs , and characteristics of the human thorax in providing surface landmarks to teach correct hand placement and appropriate chest compliance to teach proper chest compressions .
