Continental Mapping is paying close attention to the developments to come from the FAA's six selected test sites. What comes from the sites will undoubtedly effect many aspects of the public and private sector.
Drones in U.S. Airspace - 6 uas (drone research) sites in USA.Brent Liebel
The FAA has picked six state locations to determine how a UAS (drone) will be used in U.S. airspace. Here are the six sites and their areas of responsibility.
This is the synopsis presentation that we have present on behalf of the academic staff members of the University of Moratuwa to present our final year project idea, Computational and Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamics of Flapping Airfoils. This basically consists of problem definition, aim, objectives and methodology,

High Throughput Plant Phenotyping in Crop ImprovementKhushbu
Plant phenomics is a high-throughput path-breaking area that meets all the requirements for the collection of accurate, rapid and multi-faceted phenotypic data. Traditional phenotyping tools are generally low-throughput, labor-intensive, which limits high efficiency and are prone to human error (Atefi et al. 2021). High throughput phenomics (HTP) technologies are essential to avoid human error and to reduce time consumption while phenotyping large germplasm populations (Pasala and Pandey, 2020). HTP is an emerging area with numerous applications that combines plant biology, sensing technology and robotics aiding crop improvement programs. Plant phenomics is the study of plant growth, performance and composition. (Atefi et al. 2021)
Forward phenomics uses phenotyping tools to discriminate the useful germplasm having desirable traits among a collection of germplasm. This leads to identification of the ‘best of the best’ germplasm. Thus in reverse phenomics, we discover mechanisms which make ‘best’ varieties the best (Jitender et al. 2015).
High Throughput Plant Phenotyping under three scenarios: greenhouses and growth chambers under strictly controlled conditions; ground-based proximal phenotyping in the field and aerial based platforms (Araus et al 2018). Root system architecture (RSA) phenotyping in situ is challenging, RADIX (a rhizoslide platform used to screen the shoots and roots).
Application of plant phenotyping methods as a part of breeding programs has developed into an important research tool that facilitates breeders to develop cultivars with higher adaptability under different environmental conditions. Remote sensing with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs ) has emerged as highly efficient and accurate used to determine crop performance and biomass estimation. Current advanced techniques include thermal, near-infrared sensing, fluorescence imaging, 3D scanning, RGB imaging, multispectral and hyperspectral sensing are lucratively used for plant growth and development identifcation, quantification and monitoring; disease monitoring and abiotic stress tolerance. The integration of crop functional structure with remote sensing, geography information systems, GPS technologies, cloud computing, decision support systems will promote the development of digital agriculture and provide technical support for modern agriculture (Song et al. 2021). The robust and user-friendly post-processing and analysis tools for processing and interpreting raw data are urgently needed and should be improved (Yang et al. 2020).
This 3-day, classroom and practical instructional program provides individuals or teams entering the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) market with the need to 'hit the ground running'. Delegates will gain a working knowledge of UAS system classification, payloads, sensors, communications and data links. You will learn the UAS weapon design process and UAS system design components. The principles of mission planning systems and human factors design considerations are described. The critical issue of integrating UAS in the NAS is addressed in detail along with major considerations. Multiple roadmaps from all services are used to explain UAS future missions.
Continental Mapping provided mapping to support the realignment of Wood Road in Northeastern Minnesota. The Area of Interest (AOI) centered around a dangerous rural railroad crossing.

ANAMOLOUS SECONDARY GROWTH IN DICOT ROOTS.pptxRASHMI M G
Abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

By providing farmers with a valuable resource derived from waste, Travis Hills helps enhance farm profitability while promoting environmental stewardship. Travis Hills' sustainable practices lead to cost savings and increased revenue for farmers by improving resource efficiency and reducing waste.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
