BACKGROUND Dow AgroSciences has been investigating a new family of functionalized 2,6-dihaloaryl 1,2,4-triazole insecticides featuring specifically targeted insecticidal activities coupled with low mammalian toxicity. With broad spectrum control of both chewing and sap-feeding pests in mind, this family of compounds has been under investigation for aphid, mite, and whitefly control in food crop...

Abstract Recent international empirical studies have demonstrated positive results when applying extended reality (XR) technologies such as augmented reality, virtual or mixed in teaching and learning. Thus, the preconditions challenges of use must be investigated from teachers’ perspectives prior to implementing these Saudi schools higher educational institutes. Therefore, this study examines ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction From the beginning, use X-ray (XR) has been a critical component in both guidance and development arrhythmia ablation procedures. Despite non-fluoroscopic navigators, single-shot techniques for atrial fibrillation procedures still rely almost exclusively on XR. Recently, Heliostar® irrigated radiofrequency balloon dev...

Objective: This network meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy and safety of 9 nonoperative regimens (placebo, pregabalin, GM-1 ganglioside, venlafaxine extended-release [venlafaxine XR], fampridine, conventional over-ground training [OT], body-weightsupported treadmill training [BWSTT], robotic-assisted gait training [RAGT]+OT and body-weight-supported over-ground training [BWSOT]) in trea...

BACKGROUND Comorbid anxiety symptoms,in patients with a primary anxiety disorder or a mood disorder, leads to poor patient outcomes and burdens the healthcare system. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of extended-release quetiapine fumarate (quetiapine XR) for the treatment of patients with either a primary anxiety disorder or a mood disorder with comorbid anxiety symptoms compared to ...

BACKGROUND Whether the non-inferior efficacy and safety results of switching virologically suppressed HIV-1-infected patients from nevirapine immediate-release (NVP-IR) to NVP extended-release (NVP-XR) demonstrated in the TRANxITION study conducted in Europe and North America are also applicable to virologically suppressed HIV-infected Taiwanese patients remains unknown. We evaluated the compar...

IMPORTANCE Depression is prevalent and associated with negative outcomes in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Antidepressants are used routinely to treat depression, yet no placebo-controlled trials have been published in this population to our knowledge. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy and tolerability of venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release (XR) for major depressive disor...

(4) v′ r(s) = c(xr(s), yr(s), vr(s)). Note that here the subscript r denotes a parameter, not a derivative! We may equally well write xr(s) = x(r, s), yr(s) = y(r, s), and we will do so; we adopted the subscript notation to emphasize that along each integral curve r is fixed, i.e. is a constant. Which parameterization should we use? We are normally also given initial conditions along a curve Γ ...
