Integration of Routine Parameters of Glycemic Variability in a Simple Screening Method for Partial Remission in Children with Type 1 Diabetes by Nina Nielens, Olivier Pollé, Annie Robert, Philippe A. Lysy

“…With a threshold of 4.5, this alternative formula predicted partial remission with a sensitivity and a specificity of 72.3% and 92%, respectively, and yielded strong correlation with IDAA1C levels and BETA-2 score, which is a correlate of β-cell function after islet transplantation. We propose GTAA1C, based on routine and objective markers of glycemic variability, as a valid alternative for definition of partial remission in type 1 diabetes.…”

Developing an ISO11783-compliant prescription map for variable rate spraying in vineyards based on 3D canopy reconstruction by Björn Poss, Nikos Tsoulias, Galibjon M. Sharipov, Andreas Heiß, Dimitrios S. Paraforos

“…This correlation's linear regression was used to calculate dose rates, leading to the successful development of a grid-based prescription map in ISO-XML format, compatible with ISOBUS Task Controller functionality. The resulting map enables variable dose rates per meter of the leaf wall, allowing independent adjustments for the left and right sides of the sprayer simultaneously.…”
