A Waste Supply-Use Analysis of Australian Waste Flows
Abstract In this paper we apply the Lenzen and Reynolds (2014) Waste Supply Use Table extension of Nakamura and Kondo’s (2002a) Waste Input–Output (WIO) framework to the 2008... -
North American experience with Low protein diet for Non-dialysis-dependent ch...
Abstract Whereas in many parts of the world a low protein diet (LPD, 0.6-0.8 g/kg/day) is routinely prescribed for the management of patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic... -
Performance of cytokine models in predicting SLE activity
Abstract Background Identification of universal biomarkers to predict systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares is challenging due to the heterogeneity of the disease. Several... -
Molecular mechanism of the priming by jasmonic acid of specific dehydration s...
Abstract Background Plant genes that provide a different response to a similar dehydration stress illustrate the concept of transcriptional ‘dehydration stress memory’.... -
"Navigation to prioritizing the patient" – first-line nurse managers’ experie...
Abstract Background First-line nurse managers are central to quality improvement work when changing work practices into better patient outcomes. Quality improvement... -
Modern treatment outcomes for early T-stage oropharyngeal cancer treated with...
Abstract Background Transoral surgery (TOS), particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has become the preferred modality in the United States for the treatment of early... -
Accuracy of genomic selection for grain yield and agronomic traits in soft re...
Abstract Background Genomic selection has the potential to increase genetic gains by using molecular markers as predictors of breeding values of individuals. This study... -
Millstone: software for multiplex microbial genome analysis and engineering
Abstract Inexpensive DNA sequencing and advances in genome editing have made computational analysis a major rate-limiting step in adaptive laboratory evolution and microbial... -
