Here, ...

each of which was a pooled sample of semen from five males from a single colony, with all colonies having been previously confirmed to be infected withNosema. Infection intensity is the number of spore-equivalents based on quantitative PCR (the number of parasite genes quantified in the...
Locomotion accounts for a significant proportion of the energy budget in birds, and selection is likely to act on its economy, particularly where energy co
Cost-effectiveness of greenhouse gases mitigation measures in the European agro-forestry sector: a literature survey Over the last 20 years, climate change has become an increasing concern for scientists, public opinions and policy makers.

We wouldn’t have guessed that the greatest part of the cost for us is data transfer out. So we set out to do something about this and see if we could save some money here. 1. Reduce HTTP headers Before these changes, a response from this system would look like this, for a total ...
The model estimated that, compared to No Vaccine against HZ, RZV would prevent 103,603 HZ cases, 11,197 postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) cases, and 14,455 other complications, at an incremental cost of $11,863 per quality-adjusted life-year saved from a societal perspective. Compared to ZVL, ...
In 2023, the final PAOLA-1 trial (NCT02477644) survival data were published documenting the benefits of therapy consisting of olaparib plus bevacizumab for patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) as a function of molecular status. In light of these new data, the present study was conducted ...
As can be seen, the load remained constant for the different parameters, leading to the conclusion that by employing a price-sensitive charging strategy, the average load during a specific period of time (herein 24 h) remains unaffected; the network received no additional load. Finally, Figure ...
