Abstract Introduction We sought to quantify percentages of microcytes and macrocytes in archived automated hematology analyzer (AHA) red blood cell (RBC) volume histogram images. Methods In preliminary studies, we demonstrated that an on‐line application Gauss' area formula (SketchAndCalc™) measured percentage areas 20 segments under a computer‐generated normal distribution curve (−3.0 standard deviations [SD] +3.0 SD) with accuracy precision (Pearson's correlation corresponding theoretical r [20] = 0.9962 [ p < 0.0001]). Thus, used SketchAndCalc™ (50–80 fL) (110–200 AHA images women previously untreated iron‐deficiency anemia (IDA) hemochromatosis.

Coral carbonate production is fundamental to reef accretion and, consequently, the preservation of essential ecosystem services, such as wave attenuation and sustained biodiversity. However, unprecedented loss coral reefs from anthropogenic impacts has put these valuable services at risk. To counteract this loss, active rehabilitation degraded sites accelerated globally. A variety restoration practices exist, tailored local site needs types. For where there a significant unconsolidated substrate, Mars Assisted Reef Restoration System (MARRS, or “Reef Stars”) been utilised contribute toward rubble stabilisation accretion. effect Stars on budgets structural complexity not assessed. that purpose, we assess cover through census-based approach identify contribution producers eroders alongside studying skeletal properties estimate current rehabilitated compared natural unrehabilitated patches mid-Great Barrier Reef. Our research identified positive ecological processes functions increased budget, restored non-intervened patches. In general, no rigour relative were found for two key species Acropora most traits.

Overall, our data demonstrate consideration important measuring success initiatives can relevant tool recover lost budgets.
