Algae organic matter (AOM), including intracellular organic matter (IOM) and extracellular organic matter (EOM), are major membrane foulants in the treatment of algae-polluted water. In this study, the effects of EOM and IOM (at dissolved organic concentrations of 8 mg/L) on the fouling of a poly(ether sulfone) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane were investigated using a dead-end down-flow UF unit. ...

BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are available in daily, weekly, and monthly dosing formulations to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. Some researchers suggested that adherence to monthly bisphosphonate might be different from that with weekly or daily bisphosphonate because of different dosing regimens. However, the actual persistency rates in regular practice settings are unknown. OBJECTIVES To c...

Background. Gestational weight gain (GWG) is an important factor of the well-being both mother and fetus. Latest recommendation by Institute Medicine (IOM) was issued in 2009 based on women population United States, classified World Health Organization (WHO) body mass index (BMI) cutoffs. Recommendation for Asian not currently available. This review aims to evidence application said guidelines ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective. OBJECTIVE The purpose was to categorize and evaluate intraoperative monitoring (IOM) failure to detect neurologic deficits occurring during spinal surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The efficacy of spinal cord/nerve root monitoring regarding undetected neurologic deficits is examined in a large, single institution series involving all levels of the spinal column...

CM2 chondrites experienced widespread aqueous and short term thermal alteration on their parent bodies. Whilst previous Raman spectroscopic investigations have investigated insoluble organic matter (IOM), they not taken into account the binary nature of IOM. Studies employing mass spectrometry indicated that IOM also known as macromolecular (MOM) is in fact composed two distinct fractions: labi...

We evaluated maternal weight gain in women with gestational diabetes, and assessed their compliance with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) weight gain targets. Only 28% of women achieved the IOM targets, with 40% gaining inadequate weight. Those who gained inadequate weight did not suffer any increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Introduction: Most of the organic carbon in Carbonaceous Chondrites (CC) is in the form of Insoluble Organic Matter (IOM). Isotopically, the IOM in CC appears to be highly un-equilibrated: discrete H and N isotopic anomalies-the so-called hotspots-with δ values up to +19400‰ and +1770‰, respectively, are embedded in the bulk IOM, which has average compositions that are lower by a maximum one or...

The coordinated regulation of cell fate and cell survival is crucial for normal pattern formation in developing organisms. In Drosophila compound eye development, crystalline arrays of hexagonal ommatidia are established by precise assembly of diverse cell types, including the photoreceptor cells, cone cells and interommatidial (IOM) pigment cells. The molecular basis for controlling the number...

In July 2014, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Governance and Financing of Graduate Medical Education released its report calling for a major overhaul of the financing of graduate medical education (GME). Several national organizations with an interest in GME faulted the report on the basis that the IOM Committee recommendations would worsen physician shortages. However, this co...
