Comprehensive Molecular Testing for Respiratory Pathogens in Community-Acquired Pneumonia
BACKGROUND The frequent lack of a microbiological diagnosis in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) impairs pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy. This study assessed the use of comprehensive multibacterial, multiviral molecular testing, including quantification, in adults hospitalized with CAP. METHODS Clinical and laboratory data were collected for 323 adults with radiologically-confirmed C...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Diminishing Returns for Searching Deeper 75 FACTORS AFFECTING DIMINISHING RETURNS FOR SEARCHING DEEPER
The phenomenon of diminishing returns for additional search effort has been observed by several researchers. We study experimentally additional factors which influence the behaviour of diminishing returns that manifest themselves in go-deep experiments. The results obtained on a large set of more than 40,000 positions from chess grandmaster games using the programs CRAFTY, RYBKA, and SHREDDER s...

متن کاملDiminishing Returns on Intragenic Repeat Number Expansion in the Production of Signaling Peptides
Signaling peptides enable communication between cells, both within and between individuals, and are therefore key to the control of complex physiological and behavioral responses. Since their small sizes prevent direct transmission to secretory pathways, these peptides are often produced as part of a larger polyprotein comprising precursors for multiple related or identical peptides; the physio...
متن کاملThe Law Op Diminishing Returns in Agriculture
A correct understanding of the law of diminishing returns both as to its application, as well as to its statement as a principle, is fundamental in any study designed to measure the effect of increasing units of an input factor upon the output whether this output be in the form of plant growth or animal production. Immediately following Von Liebig's emphasis of the need by plants of various min...
