Collecting critically endangered cliff plants using a drone-based sampling manipulator.

Kaua'i, an island within the Hawai'i archipelago, is home of a unique flora that contains 250 single-island endemic plant species. Threats have led to a significant population decrease where 97% of these plant species are now listed as endangered, critically endangered, or extinct. Vertical cliff habitats on Kaua'i work as refugia to protect plants from their stressors.

Lessons learned from a comprehensive electronic patient record procurement process-implications for healthcare organisations.

Background: This study describes learning from procurement of a comprehensive electronic patient record (EPR/electronic health record (EHR)), system for a specialist clinical academic institution.

Method: Retrospective review of procurement process in addition to evaluation of peer-reviewed literature in the field.

Results: Main lessons learned include the importance of detailed preparation of organisational requirements/specifications and organisational 'readiness'.

What to expect from electronic patient record system implementation; lessons learned from published evidence.

Background:  Numerous studies have examined specific factors related to success, failure and implications of Electronic patient record (EPR) system implementations, but usually limited to specific aspects.  Objective: To review the published peer-reviewed literature and present findings regarding factors important in relation to successful EPR implementations and likely impact on subsequent clinical activity.

Method:  Literature reviewResults: 312 potential articles were identified on initial search of which 117 were relevant and included in the review.

Isolation and genetic mapping of a Coffea canephora phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene (CcPAL1) and its involvement in the accumulation of caffeoyl quinic acids.

Biosynthesis of caffeoylquinic acids occurs via the phenylpropanoid pathway in which the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) acts as a key-control enzyme. A full-length cDNA (pF6), corresponding to a PAL gene (CcPAL1), was isolated by screening a Coffea canephora fruit cDNA library and its corresponding genomic sequence was characterized. Amplification of total DNA from seven Coffea species revealed differences in intronic length.
