In relation to the 8th European Antibiotic Awareness Day on 18 November, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published the annual report of the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) [1]. On the same occasion, an update with 2014 data of the EARS-Net interactive database on antimicrobial resistance [2] and the European Surveillance of Ant...

 Net photosynthesis rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E) of anise hyssop were measured during the four cloudless days, in reference to diurnal fluctuations of leaf temperature (Tleaf), leaf vapor pressure deficit (VPD leaf) and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in well watered (WW), stressed (S) and recovered (R) plants. An analysis of measured data showed tha...

Abstract: This paper investigates whether various components of wealth affect real consumption asymmetrically through a threshold adjustment model. The empirical findings for the U.S. show that only stock market assets, financial assets including stock market assets, and household net assets exert a practical wealth effect on consumption expenditure. By contrast, financial assets excluding stoc...

Previous studies have demonstrated that varying these cues can affect how user's rate online health information [4], [5]. To date however there has only been one study that investigated whether the presence/absence of these cues affected the persuasiveness of a health website [6]. The outcome measure of this study (N=85) was self reported alcohol consumption; the cues investigated included adve...

&IL, FREDKIK, KNUT AUKLAND, AND HARALD E. REFSUM. Renal sodium transfwrt and oxygen consumption. Am. J. Physiol. 201(3): 511-516. I g6 I .-Glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow were increased in dogs by infusion of 270 glycine and hypertonic NaCl at rates of 8 ml/min. This procedure resulted both in an increased rate of sodium reabsorption and in increased oxygen consumption. Approxim...

Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) transport in human subjects has been studied during the course of prolonged ingestion of different amounts of glucose. Compared with the fasting state, hypocaloric glucose intake resulted in marked suppression of net transport of FFA with no change in (fractional) turnover rate. There was no further suppression of net transport of FFA when the intake was increased t...

We have evaluated the effects of short-term changes in incident irradiance and temperature on oxygenic photosynthesis and oxygen consumption in a hypersaline cyanobacterial mat from the Ebro Delta, Spain, in which Microcoleus chthonoplastes was the dominant phototrophic organism. The mat was incubated in the laboratory at 15, 20, 25 and 30 degrees C at incident irradiances ranging from 0 to 1,0...
