Abstract Background and Aims It is common practice to order serological tests at time of renal biopsy, but the diagnostic value in different clinical settings largely unknown. We utilized data from national Swedish Renal Biopsy Registry analyze positive negative post-test likelihood four diagnoses depending on results frequently used tests. Method Data all biopsies performed during period 2015-...

We measured egg components and pre-ovulatory parental investment in kinosternid turtles (Kinosternon baurii, Kinosternon subrubrum, Sternotherus minor, and Sternotherus odoratus) from the southeastern USA. Allocation patterns were determined by comparing lipid content of eggs and hatchlings, to determine whether females of species with hatchlings that exhibit a delayed nest-emergence strategy: ...

This paper studies the estimation of dynamic discrete games of incomplete information. Two main econometric issues appear in the estimation of these models: the indeterminacy problem associated with the existence of multiple equilibria and the computational burden in the solution of the game. We propose a class of pseudo maximum likelihood (PML) estimators that deals with these problems, and we...

Managing liquidity at a bank as an intermediary institution, is very important. Liquidity itself considered reflection of the trust customers or investors to bank.

Enzymatic saccharification is a key step in the green conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels and other products. A key deficiency in common biocatalytic systems, such as Trichoderma reesei, is the insufficient presence of β-glucosidase (BGL). This study intended to develop an efficient process of BGL production as an enhancement to the T. reesei system. The authors investigated the process op...

Over the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in dairy farming in New Zealand. Nitrate leaching from intensive agricultural systems, e.g. dairy farms, is suspected to cause increased nitrate concentrations in ground and surface waters. The objective of this research programme was to determine nitrate leaching losses on dairy pasture systems as affected by the application of dairy shed e...

Atrazine has been identified in at least 20 of the 1,636 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (HazDat 2003). However, the number of sites evaluated for atrazine is not known. The frequency for these sites within the United States can be seen in Figure 6-1. Of these sites, all 20 are located within the United States and none are lo...
