title: Costs and risks associated with surveying the extent of herbicide resistance in New Zealand

description: Herbicide resistance has repeatedly developed under intensive herbicidal weed management regimes globally with 255 species having resistant biotypes. In New Zealand, since 1979, resistance was found in 13 taxa, with &gt;25 herbicides in 8 chemical classes showing reduced effectiveness (i.e. HRAC groups A, B, C, D, F, G, H, N and O). Cases included weeds in turf, pastures, orchards, vineyards, forage and arable crops. Surprisingly little is known about the spatial extent or frequency of this problem in New Zealand. We estimate that 14,000 farms have land-use histories like those favouring herbicide resistance historically. Sampling simulations of ≥10% farms provided good estimates of resistance prevalence for most regions and crop types. Acceptable sampling rates varied with target population size, actual resistance prevalence, and detection certainty. Our simulations provide a sobering caution regarding our ability to delimit the problem cheaply or accurately. Detection rates lower than 75% always give imprecise prevalence estimates. Sampling and screening involved 7.4 h labour and 27 km of travel costing $759 NZD per farm. Sampling 10% of farms would cost &gt;$1 million NZD if lower risk farms were excluded, or &gt;$3 million in exhaustive surveys. Regional farm and industry breakdowns could guide cost-sharing arrangements for surveys.

title: Experience of Chicagoland acute care hospitals in preparing for Ebola virus disease, 2014–2015

description: During the 2014–2015 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, hospitals in the United States selected personal protective equipment (PPE) and trained healthcare personnel (HCP) in anticipation of receiving EVD patients. To improve future preparations for high-consequence infectious diseases, it was important to understand factors that affected PPE selection and training in the context of the EVD outbreak. Semistructured interviews were conducted with HCP involved with decision-making during EVD preparations at acute care hospitals in the Chicago, IL area to gather information about the PPE selection and training process. HCP who received training were surveyed about elements of training and their perceived impact and overall experience by email invitation. A total of 28 HCP from 15 hospitals were interviewed, and 55 HCP completed the survey. Factors affecting PPE selection included: changing guidance, vendor supply, performance evaluations, and perceived risk and comfort for HCP. Cost did not affect selection. PPE acquisition challenges were mitigated by: sharing within hospital networks, reusing PPE during training, and improvising with existing PPE stock. Selected PPE ensembles were similar across sites. Training included hands-on activities with trained observers, instructional videos, and simulations/drills, which were felt to increase HCP confidence. Many felt refresher training would be helpful. Hands-on training was perceived to be effective, but there is a need to establish the appropriate frequency of refresher training frequency to maintain competence. Lacking confidence in the CDC guidance, interviewed trainers described turning to other sources of information and developing independent PPE evaluation and selection. Response to emerging and/or high consequence infectious diseases would be enhanced by transparent, risk-based guidance for PPE selection and training that addresses protection level, ease of use, ensembles, and availability.

title: Data for: Measurement of ocular transmittance in living human eyes with a double-pass system

description: As pointed out by several authors, the double-pass (DP) image contains the effects of both aberrations and scattering. When the lower-order aberrations are corrected, the DP PSF in a normal eye is affected predominately by higher-order aberrations and light scatter. While the aberrations influence the light distribution at the central region of the DP image, the intraocular scattering causes an increment of the intensity further away from the central maximum of the image. Therefore, this study chose to analyze a peripheral portion of the DP PSF. The region of interest (ROI) chosen for the analysis was a ring between 25 to 35 minutes of arc, whose center was in the centroid of the spot of the cropped DP image (256x256 pixels).To determine the transmittance of the ocular media, a series of DP images were recorded, each one was taken at a different intensity of the laser diode, which was controlled by a supply voltage from 0 mV to 4000 mV. The gray level in the ROI increased as the intensity of the laser increased. The average of the scattering determined as a mean gray level intensity (which we will call hereafter double-pass scattering (DPS)) varies linearly with laser voltage. We have used the slope of the DPS/Laser Voltage line to derive an Ocular Transmittance Index (OTI). As the light had to cross the ocular media twice to reach the CCD sensor, it was expected that the OTI slope has a functional relationship with the transmittance (T), as follows: OTI ∝ T^2.The data set corresponds to the profiles of the double-pass images measured in different conditions: artificial eye with and without filters, artificial eye with induced defocus, subjects of Group A and subjects of Group B.The first column shows the angular distance in arc minutes, while the following columns show the radial profiles corresponding to each laser voltage.<br>
