treatment temperature increased, especially at temperatures in excess of 450~ However, the strength decreases were small (less than 15%), and the concrete strength was still within typical values for structural concrete. The leachability tests showed that as treatment temperature was increased, levels of PAHs in the soil significantly decreased. From the leachability tests performed on samples ...

high‐throughput chemical genetic screen of chemical compounds from several commercial libraries has revealed that lithocholic bile acid (LCA), and some other bile acids, can slow yeast chronological aging [1]. The robust geroprotective effect of exogenously added LCA is due to its ability to enter chronologically aging yeast cells, be sorted to both mitochondrial membranes and alter mitochondri...

In the study we conducted a meta-analysis of 24 results drawn from 18 papers in the Voluntary Contribution Mechanism public goods game held in two culturally distant regions, namely US and East Asia. We compared the last round contribution rate from the two regions for both 0.5-MPCR and 0.75-MPCR levels as well as the trend and each round’s contribution rate specifically for the 0.75-MPCR level...

BACKGROUND Patients with hospitalized acute kidney injury (AKI) are at increased risk for accelerated loss of kidney function, morbidity, and mortality. We sought to inform efforts at improving post-AKI outcomes by describing the receipt of renal-specific laboratory test surveillance among a large high-risk cohort. METHODS We acquired clinical data from the Electronic health record (EHR) of 5...

Where you can find the drug effects on laboratory test results easily? Is it in the book store? On-line book store? are you sure? Keep in mind that you will find the book in this site. This book is very referred for you because it gives not only the experience but also lesson. The lessons are very valuable to serve for you, that's not about who are reading this drug effects on laboratory test r...

Efficiently managing laboratory test utilization requires both ensuring adequate utilization of needed tests in some patients and discouraging superfluous tests in other patients. After the difficult clinical decision is made to define the patients that do and do not need a test, a wealth of interventions are available to the clinician and laboratorian to help guide appropriate utilization. The...

In street canyons, with increasing absorption and diffusion of street boundaries and furniture, the sound attenuation along the length could be increased. Well designed and placed vegetation could have similar effects. Therefore, knowledge of such acoustic properties of vegetation is required to accurately predict sound propagation and optimise the use of green surfaces for reducing the noise i...

Laboratories may use different analytical methods that may not be harmonized, possibly with different units of reporting. We should not assume that the differing numbers can be directly compared especially if the transfer of results from the laboratory to the report recipient does not highlight differences in units of reporting or in assay methods in use. To Corresponding author: Jillian R. Tat...

With the advent of modern medical technology, the availability of hematological and serum biochemical data to the veterinary practitioner has become commonplace. One unfortunate side effect of this convenience is that some clinicians might tend to focus their attention on one or two abnormal laboratory abnormalities and forget to interpret the test results within the entire clinical context of ...
