Bouquet ears in maize inbred lines as affected by agronomic factors

ABSTRACT “Bouquet ears” is known to reduce grain yield in maize (Zea mays L.). The impact of agronomic factors on the bouquet occurrence rate (BOR) needs to be investigated. Two separate trials were conducted to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilizer, planting density, herbicide application, and planting date on the BOR in maize inbred lines (Mo17, K615/1, and KE72012/12) across two locations and 2 years (2018 and 2019). In Trial 1, the effects of nitrogen rate (200, 450, and 700 kg ha−1) and planting density (55,000, 70,000, and 85,000 plants ha−1) and in Trial 2, the effects of herbicide application (no-2,4-D application and 2,4-D at V5 and V7 stages) and planting date (May 25, June 4, and June 14) were evaluated. Planting density had no significant impact on the BOR in the inbred lines Mo17 and KE72012/12. In the inbred line K615/1, the BOR was inversely affected by planting density; BOR was 14% at 55,000 plants ha−1, 10% at 70,000 plants ha−1, and 8% at 85,000 plants ha−1. Delaying the planting date (PD) from May 25 till June 4 did not affect BOR; however, delaying PD to June 14 drastically increased BOR; KE72012/12 showed 3.56% BOR for June 14 PD, which was 215% higher than that for June 4 PD. Overall, the BOR could be significantly decreased in maize, provided proper genotypes are planted at suitable times (May 25 to June 4) at densities higher than 55,000 plants ha−1.

Foliar application of gibberellic acid improves yield and head phenolic compounds in globe artichoke

Applications of gibberellic acid (GA3) during the vegetative stage is used routinely in artichoke production systems in semi-arid regions to induce vernalization and improve yield. The objective of this two-year field study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous GA3 (20 mg l−1) application date (4th and 8th leaf stages) and frequency (two and three times) on morphological and physiological traits, yield and head quality of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. cv. Green Globe Improved) under a warm and semi-arid environment. Foliar application of GA3 at the 4-leaf stage increased plant height across growing seasons. However, no significant differences between application dates were noticed in plant width, gas exchange and leaf area index when measured at the harvesting period. GA3 application frequency (two or three) did not affect yield and head quality. Interestingly, foliar application of GA3 at 8-leaf stage increased yield by 13%, chlorogenic acid by 19%, cynarin by 30% and total N by 20% compared to the application at 4-leaf stage. In both years, GA3 applied at 8-leaf stage delayed the harvesting by 10 days when compared to plants that received GA3 application at 4-leaf stage. Considering the increase in yield and head quality without negative effects in canopy morphology or leaf physiology two applications of GA3 at the 8-leaf stage appears an effective crop management strategy for globe artichoke grown under warm climates.

Current Medical Care Situation of Patients in Germany Undergoing Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC).

Simple SummaryThe treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies has evolved differently from other fields in surgical oncology in the past decades and modern approaches were introduced into daily-routine. Curative as well as palliative surgical treatment options redefined the fate of patients with this aggressive disease. Nowadays, patients with a limited peritoneal tumor spread of colonic origin have comparable survival rates compared with colorectal liver and pulmonary metastases. After the failure of systemic chemotherapy, the application of PIPAC revolutionized the palliative treatment for these patients and recent results show a high histological response rates, an improvement in quality-of-life and, furthermore, a cost-reduction compared to systemic chemotherapy. The application of PIPAC in other disease-settings (neoadjuvant/adjuvant) needs to be defined in further clinical trials.Objective: Tailored approaches in gastrointestinal oncology have been more frequently introduced in past years and for patients with peritoneal metastases. This article attempts to overview the current strategies in surgical gastrointestinal oncology, with a focus on gastrointestinal peritoneal metastases. Methods: In 2019, all patients undergoing PIPAC therapy in Germany were retrospectively analyzed regarding morbidity and in-hospital mortality rates. Furthermore, patients with chemotherapy-refractory peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer undergoing PIPAC-therapy at our institution were analyzed. Results: In 2019, 534 patients received PIPAC treatment in german hospitals. The in-hospital mortality rate was 0%. In total, 36 patients suffered from postoperative complications (8%). From April 2016 to September 2021, a total of 44 patients underwent 93 PIPAC applications at our institution. The non-access-rate was 0%. The median PRGS was two (range, 1–4). Eleven patients (44%) showed histologically stable disease, whereas six patients (24%) showed histological regression. Median survival, calculated from the date of the first PIPAC application, was 181 days (range, 43–636 days). Conclusions: PIPAC is a safe and feasible procedure with a low in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, PIPAC in the palliative and chemorefractory setting and is an appealing approach for patient management in the future.

Use of different spray volumes and hydraulic nozzles in air-assisted electrostatic insecticide application technologies to control coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) populations

Chemical control is essential for efficient pest management in coffee crops. Application technologies should safely deliver insecticides to the target whilst protecting the environment, insecticide applicators, and consumers. To achieve these goals, application volumes, hydraulic nozzles, and application techniques should be evaluated. This study assessed the biological efficiency of different spray volumes and spray nozzles used to apply insecticides to control coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) populations. We applied insecticides using a hydropneumatic sprayer with and without an electrostatic spraying system. The experiment followed a randomized block factorial design (2 × 2 + 1) and included two types of spray nozzles [a hollow cone spray nozzle (JA1) and a hollow cone spray nozzle with air induction (TVI)], two spray volumes (200 and 400 L ha-1), one additional treatment (SPE2 nozzle with a 200 system 200 L ha-1), and six replicates. We assessed the control efficiency of the different application methods by evaluating the percentage of fruits damaged 20 and 40 days after the date of application. The spray volume did not affect the biological efficiency of pest control, and the lower spray volume (200 L ha-1) was effective in the control of coffee berry borers. Application of insecticides using coarse droplets was more efficient than the application using very fine and fine droplets. The TVI hydraulic spray nozzle effectively controlled coffee berry borers at 200 and 400 L ha-1. The electrostatic application system performed similarly to the conventional system in terms of the control of the coffee berry borers, and was less efficient than the conventional system under some operational conditions.

Reduced Potential for Consecutive Truck-Mounted Ultra-Low Volume Mosquito Adulticide Applications in Chicago Metropolitan Area Due to Weather Conditions.

To increase the effectiveness of adult mosquito control, more frequent ultra-low volume (ULV) applications have been suggested. In the Chicago area, weather may be a limiting factor to more frequent applications. To investigate this, ULV adulticidal application dates from the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District during June 2011 to September 2020 were compared to historical weather data-wind and rain patterns to determine optimum conditions for conducting ULV treatments. During the 85 applications performed during 2011-20, there would have been an opportunity, based on weather conditions, for an additional consecutive night for about half (48.2%) of the time. These opportunities diminished with each additional application. The most intensive response possible would have been a spray of 5 consecutive nights, which occurred once in 3 of the 10 years investigated.

Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilitate peripheral nerve recovery in upper extremity injuries? A prospective study of 74 patients.

Several experimental studies have investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on peripheral nerve regeneration. However, to the best of our knowledge, clinical studies to evaluate the effects of HBOT on peripheral nerve recovery are seldom performed. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy of HBOT following primary nerve repair in patients with upper extremity nerve injuries. Patients admitted to our hospital between 2015 and 2019 with ulnar and median nerve injuries were included in the study. Patients were randomized based on their application dates and divided into two different groups. Patients who received HBOT following standard epineural nerve repair were included in group 1, while patients who only underwent epineural nerve repair were included in group 2. All patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12months post-treatment and evaluated through electroneuromyography analysis of the traumatized nerve, injured nerve-related muscle strength, and two-point discrimination test. Impulse transmission of injured nerves to the end organ was faster in group 1. Further, ENMG parameters demonstrated that injured nerves of patients in group 1 recovered faster. Patients in group 1 also reached higher power score and had significantly more rapid motor recovery than patients in group 2. This prospective study of upper extremity injuries demonstrated the favorable effects of HBOT on nerve recovery both clinically and electrophysiologically following nerve repair. One HBOT session each day for 5days after surgical treatment can decrease morbidity and facilitate recovery.

Effects of Closing Cut Date and Nitrogen Fertilization on Seed Yield and Seed Quality in Two Novel Cultivars of Urochloa spp.

Two field trials were conducted in Thailand to determine an appropriate closing cut date (CCD) and rate of nitrogen application (N-rate) to maximize seed yield and seed quality of the two novel cultivars (cv.) of Urochloa spp. (Synonym Brachiaria spp.), cv. ‘OKI-1’ (an open-pollinated tetraploid Urochloa ruziziensis (R. Germ. and C.M. Evrard) Crins originated from cv. ‘Miyaokikoku-ichigou’) and cv. ‘Br-203’ (U. ruziziensis cv. ‘Miyaokikoku-ichigou’ × U. hybrid cv. ‘Mulato’). The following treatments were evaluated in this study: four CCDs (uncut, 15 June, 1 July, and 15 July) and four N-rates (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg/ha). The cv. ‘OKI-1’ showed somewhat differences in tiller number/m2 (TN), fertile tiller percentage (FTP), inflorescence number/tiller (IN/T) and spikelet number/raceme (SN/R) with the CCD, while the cv. ‘Br-203’ showed only in SN/R. However, TN and SN/R were highest for 15 June, and FTP and IN/T were highest for 1 July in cv. ‘OKI-1’. The cv. ‘OKI-1’ showed the highest total seed yield (TSY), pure seed yield (PSY), and pure germinated seed yield (PGSY) for 1 July, followed by 15 June, and the cv. ‘Br-203’ showed the highest TSY, PSY, and PGSY for 15 July, followed by 1 July. Nitrogen (N) fertilization showed a negative effect on TSY for both the cultivars due to the higher N content in the soil. Withholding N fertilizer, a CCD in late-June to early-July and early-July to mid-July is recommended for cv. ‘OKI-1’ and cv. ‘Br-203’, respectively.

Does Applying IFRS 15 Affect the Quality of Earnings of Cambodian-Listed Companies?

ABSTRACT In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a joint standard, which is international financial reporting standard no.15 (IFRS 15), entitled “Revenue from contracts with customers.” This research aims to identify the new standard, illustrate the new recognition model, and determine the impact of measuring revenues following IFRS 15 on the quality of earnings. A quantitative research approach is used, and the absolute value of discretionary accruals and earnings aggressiveness are utilized as proxies for the quality of earnings. The research sample includes three Cambodian-listed companies with 24 firm-year observations over eight years from 2014 to 2021. The study reveals a statistically significant negative effect of the application of IFRS 15 on the quality of earnings of Cambodian-listed companies. The research represents an extension of the previous studies concerned with studying and analyzing the impact of IFRS 15 on the quality of financial statements. It also adds to these studies as there is a lack of quantitative evidence of this new standard’s economic effects after its application date. This study aids professional bodies in determining the impact of adopting international accounting standards on the quality of financial reports of companies in such emerging economies as Cambodia. Keywords: IFRS 15; Quality of earnings; Absolute value of discretionary accruals; Earnings aggressiveness; Cambodia

Reflections of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dermatology Outpatient Clinics

Aim: We aimed to investigate the effects of stress on dermatological diseases that come into our lives with this new infection, which can have vital effects and limitations in social life during the covid 19 pandemic process.Material and Method: In this retrospective study, patients who were examined in the dermatology outpatient clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic (April - May 2020) and the same period last year (April - May 2019) were evaluated. The number of patients who applied, application dates, age and sex of patients, and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases-10th Revision) diagnosis codes were recorded by scanning the electronic database of the hospital. Results: The rate of referral to the dermatology outpatient clinic decreased by 6.3 times compared to the previous year. The average age of the patients who applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic period was significantly higher compared to that of the patients who applied during the same period in the previous year. It was observed that during the pandemic period, men applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic significantly more than in the previous year. COVID-19 infection was not detected in patients who applied to the Dermatology outpatient clinic during the early period of the pandemic.Conclusion: While there was a decrease in outpatient consultations for cosmetic reasons, a significant increase in consultations for stress-induced dermatoses was found. Stria rubra development in the young population for reasons such as a sedentary life and possible nutritional disorders as a result of the restrictions experienced during the pandemic period was one of the interesting findings of this period. We think that patients with the coronavirus infection and associated skin findings apply to other clinics instead of the dermatology clinic due to the presence of other accompanying systemic symptoms.

Effects of early spring N-fertilisation strategies on grass production and nitrogen recovery

Application rate and application date of fertiliser nitrogen (N) are important factors determining grass production response and N recovery by grassland in spring. This study was conducted at two sites with different soil types (sandy loam and clay loam) in Ireland in spring 2005 and 2006. In comparison with a non-fertilised (zero-N) control, urea N was applied at rates of 60 and 90 kg N/ha either as single or split applications on eight dates ranging between 11 January and 14 March. Grass was harvested on four occasions between 21 February and 25 April. Split fertiliser N applications provided the best outcome in relation to grass DM production, apparent recovery of fertiliser N (ARFN) and cost of additional grass produced compared with single applications. Likewise, in this study the optimum date to commence fertiliser N application was 21 January combined with a second application on 26 February in terms of the cost-effectiveness of the fertiliser N input to increase grass DM production.

Underwater Manipulator Control for Single Pilot ROV Control

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are the main driver in inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) of underwater structures. The commercial use of ROVs in industrial applications dates to the 1980s, however, the control and operation of work class ROVs for performing IMR interventions still carried out by the team of minimum two expert ROV pilots, despite the immense efforts to automate the operation of ROVs in the last decades. This paper provides a new approach to automation of ROV operation by considering the needs of the ROV pilots. To this end, a new controller is presented enabling the subsea IMR operations with a presence of a single pilot. The results are tested using a residential work class ROVs in Snorre B (SNB) oilfield by an expert Pilot.

Examination of applications for registration of the invention under EU regulations - Experience for Viet Nam

In this article, from the perspective of analyzing European Union law and Vietnamese law on patent registration as well as the practical examination of patent applications in the European Union and Vietnam in which proposes experience for Vietnam in the process of completing, amending, and supplementing legal regulations related to the process and methods of examining patent applications to save time on granting patents as well as protect industrial rights of the applicant. As a matter of practice, the long process of examining industrial property applications in general and patents, in particular, has caused difficulties for the rights holder in the process of intellectual property exploitation while the cycle of development of alternative technology or, in other words, the life cycle of technology is getting shorter and shorter. In this regard, the right holders only have a few years even a couple of months from the application date to start the process of commercial exploitation so that the right holders are unable to recover the expense of the investment for developing inventions. Besides, the number of patent applications is increasing along with economic development and national start-up campaigns. Therefore, in the context of shortening patent examination and other industrial property, in general, are now significantly necessary. Furthermore, within the scope of the article, the authors have compared the regulations of the European Patent Convention regarding the patent application examination, despite the similar steps of filing compared to Vietnam’s regulations, the European Patent Convention still has some significant regulations to shorten the examination. As the result, based on reference to EU regulations, the authors propose a number of solutions to overcome the situations leading to the prolongation of the patent granting time and effectively protecting the interests of the applicant in Vietnam.

Influence of Nitrogen Nutrition on Fatty Acids in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen nutrition on the content of fatty acids and selected qualitative parameters (nitrogenous substances, ash, crude fiber) in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The experiment was carried out at the Vígľaš—Pstruša Research and Breeding Station in 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 by complete block design with four repetitions. Nitrogen fertilization was applied at four levels, plus an untreated control (after agrochemical soil analysis) by DAN 27 (Dolomite Ammonium Nitrate): 100, 120, 140, and 160 kg/ha N. Application date was in BBCH scale phase 59–60. The fatty acid contents (MUFA—monosaturated fatty acids; PUFA—polyunsaturated fatty acids) were determined by gas chromatography in the extracted fat, which is determined by extraction method. Within the result evaluation, statistically significant increases in the contents of linoleic and linolenic acids were recorded in all variants treated by nitrogen fertilizer, which is positive in terms of the use of rapeseed oil for food and energy purposes. The statistically significant decrease of oleic acid after the application of nitrogen fertilizers is negative for industry use of rapeseed oil.

Macronutrient accumulation and cytological and morphological response of safflower affected by the foliar application and harvest date

The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the foliar application of growth stimulators and harvest date on plant growth and quality attributes of safflower at the Agricultural Research station of Urmia (Iran) during the 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 growing seasons.The experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and four replications. The first factor was the foliar application of (i) nano-Fe 2 mg L−1, (ii) humic acid 2.5 mL L−1, (iii) magnetic water at 2 L m−2, (iv) ascorbic acid 30 mg L−1, and (v) control (distilled water), and the second factor was two harvest dates including of 121 and 136 days after sowing. The highest total unsaturated fatty acid content was obtained from the foliar application of nano-Fe. This treatment also resulted in a 12% increase in the total unsaturated fatty acid. The foliar application of humic acid and nano-Fe significantly promoted the growth of the safflowers via improving photosynthetic characteristics, such as chlorophyll index. The highest total N (3.65 ppm), available P (0.362 ppm), and K (1.32 ppm) contents of the seeds were obtained from the second harvest date. As well, the total unsaturated and saturated fatty acid percentage and harvest index were significantly affected by the second harvest date. Percent of chromosome abnormality was also decreased on the second harvest date.

Comparing hospital-resource utilization by an enhanced pneumonia surveillance programme for COVID-19 with pre-pandemic pneumonia admissions - a Singaporean hospital's experience.

IntroductionDuring the early days of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Singapore, Tan Tock Seng Hospital implemented an enhanced pneumonia surveillance (EPS) programme enrolling all patients who were admitted from the Emergency Department (ED) with a diagnosis of pneumonia but not meeting the prevalent COVID-19 suspect case definition.Hypothesis/Gap statementThere is a paucity of data supporting the implementation of such a programme.AimsTo compare and contrast our hospital-resource utilization of an EPS programme for COVID-19 infection detection with a suitable comparison group.MethodologyWe enrolled all patients admitted under the EPS programme from TTSH’s ED from 7 February 2020 (date of EPS implementation) to 20 March 2020 (date of study ethics application) inclusive. We designated a comparison cohort over a similar duration the preceding year. Relevant demographic and clinical data were extracted from the electronic medical records.ResultsThere was a 3.2 times higher incidence of patients with an admitting diagnosis of pneumonia from the ED in the EPS cohort compared to the comparison cohort (P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the median length of stay of 7 days (P=0.160). Within the EPS cohort, stroke and fluid overload occur more frequently as alternative primary diagnoses.ConclusionsOur study successfully evaluated our hospital-resource utilization demanded by our EPS programme in relation to an appropriate comparison group. This helps to inform strategic use of hospital resources to meet the needs of both COVID-19 related services and essential ‘peace-time’ healthcare services concurrently.

Utility and Triggers in Uptake of Agricultural Weather and Climate Information Services in Senegal, West Africa

Weather and climate information services (WCIS) are gaining recognition among scientists and governments as an essential adaptation tool for agriculture, especially in the drylands of Africa. In Senegal, the widespread production and dissemination of WCIS was initiated in 2015 to cover the agricultural, pastoral and fishing sectors. This paper analyzes the types of decisions made by WCIS users, their preferences and level of satisfaction, and explores the triggers of agricultural WCIS adoption. We collected data during the onset and cessation of the rainy seasons to understand the utility and reliability of WCIS by farmers across all stages of the growing season. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A binary logistic regression was tested to understand the socio-economic triggers in uptake of WCIS. Results showed that rainfall forecast is the most preferred WCIS (49% of the respondents) followed by extreme wind forecast. At the beginning of the rainy season, nearly 80% of the respondents have chosen the sowing date and about 60% have chosen crop varieties based on disseminated WCIS. In the middle of the growing season, about 70% of the respondents used WCIS to decide on fertilizer application dates. Results also showed that age and level of education, being trained on WCIS use, membership to farmers’ organizations, owning a radio have a significant effect on WCIS-based decision-making. These factors are essential for triggering the uptake of WCIS, and therefore are required to improve the implementation of existing weather climate services in Africa.

Manure Application Timing and Tillage Influence on Nutrient Loss from Snowmelt Runoff

Winter manure application contributes substantial nutrient loss during snowmelt and influences water quality. The goal of this study is to develop best management practices (BMPs) for winter manure management. We compared nutrient concentrations in snowmelt runoff from three dates of feedlot solid beef manure application (November, January, and March) at 18 tons ha−1 on untilled and fall-tilled plots. The manure was applied at a single rate. Sixteen 4 m2 steel frames were installed in the fall to define individual plots. Treatments were randomly assigned so that each tillage area had two control plots, two that received manure during November, two in January, and two in March. Snowmelt runoff from each individual plot was collected in March and analyzed for runoff volume (RO), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), total suspended solids (TSS), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP), and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP). Snowmelt runoff concentrations and loads of NH4-N, TKN, TP, and TDP were significantly higher in runoff from manure application treatments compared to control. The concentration of NH4-N and loads of NH4-N and TDP were significantly (p = 0.05) greater (42%, 51%, and 47%, respectively) from untilled compared to fall-tilled plots. The November application significantly increased RO, NH4-N, and TDP concentrations and loads in the snowmelt runoff compared to January and March applications. Results showed that nutrient losses in snowmelt runoff were reduced from manure applications on snow compared to non-snow applications. The fall tillage before winter manure application decreased nutrient losses compared to untilled fields.

In loamy sandy soils to study the effect of dates application for Biohealth biological fertilizer in (growth stage, elongation stage and growth and elongation stage) + with (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) from the mineral fertilizer recommendation for some plant traits in Broad bean (Vicia Faba L.). The experiment was Indicated according to a split-plots system using a randomized complete block design by three replications. A results of the study showed significant superiority in adding biological fertilizer in growth and elongation stage with highest mean of the yield and its components, Amount to (plant pods number 15.45 pod plant-1 and the number of seeds per pods 5.02 seed pod-1 and 100 seed weights 119.17 g and green pods yield 14.29 t ha-1 and seed yield 4.45 t ha-1 and biological yield 11.00 t ha-1). It also significantly outpered the addition of biological fertilizer + with 75% of the recommendation for mineral fertilizer with highest mean of yield and its components, Amount to (plant pods number17.75 pod plant-1 and number of seeds per pods 5.71 seed pod-1 and 100 seed weights 122.72 g and green pods yield 16.21 t ha-1 and seed yield 4.72 t ha-1 and biological yield 11.57 t ha-1). The interactions showed a significant effect on yield characteristics and its studied components, as the interaction treatment exceeded date of adding biological fertilizer + with 75% of fertilizer recommendation at growth and elongation stage highest mean of studied characteristics.

Review of Remote Sensing for Land Administration: Origins, Debates, and Selected Cases

Conventionally, land administration—incorporating cadastres and land registration—uses ground-based survey methods. This approach can be traced over millennia. The application of photogrammetry and remote sensing is understood to be far more contemporary, only commencing deeper into the 20th century. This paper seeks to counter this view, contending that these methods are far from recent additions to land administration: successful application dates back much earlier, often complementing ground-based methods. Using now more accessible historical works, made available through archive digitisation, this paper presents an enriched and more complete synthesis of the developments of photogrammetric methods and remote sensing applied to the domain of land administration. Developments from early phototopography and aerial surveys, through to analytical photogrammetric methods, the emergence of satellite remote sensing, digital cameras, and latterly lidar surveys, UAVs, and feature extraction are covered. The synthesis illustrates how debates over the benefits of the technique are hardly new. Neither are well-meaning, although oft-flawed, comparative analyses on criteria relating to time, cost, coverage, and quality. Apart from providing this more holistic view and a timely reminder of previous work, this paper brings contemporary practical value in further demonstrating to land administration practitioners that remote sensing for data capture, and subsequent map production, are an entirely legitimate, if not essential, part of the domain. Contemporary arguments that the tools and approaches do not bring adequate accuracy for land administration purposes are easily countered by the weight of evidence. Indeed, these arguments may be considered to undermine the pragmatism inherent to the surveying discipline, traditionally an essential characteristic of the profession. That said, it is left to land administration practitioners to determine the relevance of these methods for any specific country context.
