Abstract: A system and method is provided for analyzing image data acquired from a patient. The method includes receiving image data associated with a patient, determining image frames with predetermined anatomical information from the cardiac image data, providing the image frames with the predetermined anatomical information to a trained model, and determining at least one of dimensional, volume, area, or physiological measurements using the trained model.

Abstract: A freeze protection compound is provided for application to an agricultural crop. The compound is preferably performed by conventional sprayer techniques. The freeze protection compound includes a fermented biomass material as an active ingredient for the purpose of protecting the agricultural crop from freezing. The fermented biomass is mixed to form the freeze protection compound in a liquid solution The fermented biomass can specifically be a fermented corn product. The fermented corn product is preferably rendered substantially free of ethanol. The freeze protection compound can be applied to the blooms and foliage of the agricultural crop, such as a tree cultivar. Most preferably such a tree cultivar conventionally includes all varieties of orchard and grove cultivated products. An effective amount of the freeze protection compound is applied to the living and growing foliage and can also as preferred be applied to blossoms or bloom sets.

Abstract: A process and composition for thinning fruit blossoms with a calcium chloride solution is provided. The calcium chloride is a common salt, often referred to as CaCl, but having the chemical formula CaCl2 and is preferably applied to the blooms in a solution or brine. The calcium chloride brine is a natural material that is classified as a “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS) compound. The calcium chloride solution in water apparently interrupts the pollination of blooms through the dessication of the pistils, when it is applied during the blooming period. The CaCl2 blossom or bloom thinning agent solution is effective on many varieties of fruit trees, especially apples. The calcium chloride is preferably applied in a substantially aqueous solution at a rate of between 5 and 40 pounds of calcium chloride per acre. The CaCl2 solution is not an artificial or derived substance and carries none of the environmental and health concerns raised by other hormonal or caustic chemical thinning agents.
