We cannot report response rates as there was no way for us to verify whether all clinicians received the email invitation to participate. Convenience sampling was used to recruit policy makers (n = 3) and members of the FOCUS research team (n = 6). Procedure Concept mapping ...
Sweetpotato weevils (SPW) are the most important insect pests of sweetpotato and can be found in various regions globally (Okonya et al.2016; CABI2020). For most of the world the sweetpotato weevil speciesCylas formicariusis considered the most problematic, however in SSA two other species are...
Thermal measurements Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement was performed using the NETZSCH DSC 200 F3 with the heating/cooling rates of 5 K/min. Thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis was carried out on a Netzsch STA 449 C unit. Single-crystal X-ray...
In addition to the remarkable efficiency rates, gH625 is essentially internalized by a non-endocytic pathway avoiding endosomal entrapment10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 and is able to penetrate the Blood Brain Barrier both in vitro and in vivo 11, 20,21,22. gH625 is therefore a ...
observed until harvest, and the effect it has on the sweetpotato root quality significantly reduces marketability (Fite et al.2014; Okonya et al.2016; vanVugt and Franke2018). In some areas, if SPW populations are left uncontrolled, growers have reported up to 100% infestation rates and ...
(i.e., CO2 + H2→ CO + H2O) led to CO being the sole product detected. The CO production rates revealed that 1.0% BixIn2–xO3was more active than In2O3by approximately three orders of magnitude (Fig.2a), with an impressive peak rate of 8000 μmol g−1 h−1...
Disparities in rates of cognitive disorders between men and women have led to focus on the role of estrogen in neuroprotection. This is supported by evidence from observational studies that treatment with HT during perimenopause decreases later risk for dementia [118–121]. There is likely a critic...
microparticles. A more crystalline substance typically has lower solubility and slower dissolution rates, potentially leading to a slower drug release profile and enhanced stability. Thus, the choice of COM as a lipid carrier in the spray-congealing process influences not only the crystallinity of the...
Intuitively, this utility function is a sliding scale between S and 𝑄𝑢, and a patient’s preference would dictate where he/she would fall. Let the overall outcome of interest that we would like to optimize be 𝑅𝑖1+𝑅𝑖2, where 𝑅𝑖𝑗=𝑄𝑢𝑖𝑗+{1−Φ(ℎ𝑖...
as in a previously discussed study, the higher conversion rates of MAG (1.33 times) and TAG (1.25 times) were reached when the glycerol:fat ratio was increased from 1:1 to 1.5:1, whereas an increase of the 2:1 glycerol:fat ratio did not affect the MAG, DAG, or TAG conversion rates...
