The majority of survival analyses focus on temporal scales. Consequently, there is a limited understanding of how species survival varies over space and, ultimately, how spatial variability in the environment affects the temporal dynamics of species abundance. Using data from the Barents Sea, we study the spatiotemporal variability of the juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) survival. We develo...

BACKGROUND The Dande Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) located in Bengo Province, Angola, covers nearly 65,500 residents living in approximately 19,800 households. This study aims to describe the main causes of deaths (CoD) occurred within the HDSS, from 2009 to 2012, and to explore associations between demographic or socioeconomic factors and broad mortality groups (Group I-Com...

To date, research on microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has. focused the production of cost-effective, high-performance electrodes and catalysts. The present study focuses synthesis silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by Pseudomonas sp. evaluates their role as an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst in MFC. Biogenic AgNPs were synthesized from aeruginosa via facile hydrothermal synthesis. physiochemical ...

Accurate assessment of cause of death (COD) is important for determining cause-specific survival in cancer research. It is possible to reliably ascertain COD by meticulous review of inpatient and outpatient medical records with the use of predetermined clinical algorithms (1). Unfortunately, this method, although useful for small retrospective studies, is impractical for large datasets and nati...

Background: The application of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) renal calculi gives excellent fragmentation results. Nevertheless, the retention of postESWL fragments within the kidney is still an important trouble. The aim of this paper is to study the regrowth of COD real spontaneously passed post-ESWL calculi fragments as a function of urinary c...

A number of experiments (1, 2, 3, 4) have shown that cod liver oil is an effective therapeutic agent for the prevention and cure of rickets (leg weakness) in young chickens. We have recently attempted to determine: (1) the minimal amount, of cod liver oil necessary for the prevention of rickets in chickens, (2) the effect of one method of storage on the titirachitic potency of cod liver oil, an...

The carbohydrate moiety of cod serum IgM was analysed using oligosaccharide sequencing techniques. The carbohydrate moiety constituted about 10% of the molecular weight of cod IgM, was associated with the constant region of the heavy chains (Fc), and was composed of N-linked complex type oligosaccharides. Considerable heterogeneity was observed. Sixteen different glycan structures were identifi...
