Participation of local communities in the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of forest changes has been promoted as a strategy that lowers the cost of MRV and increases their engagement with REDD+. This systematic review of literature assessed the claims of participatory MRV (PMRV) in achieving REDD+ outcomes. We identified 29 PMRV publications that consisted of 20 peer-reviewed and ...

Mammalian reovirus (MRV) causes respiratory and intestinal disease in mammals. Although MRV isolates have been reported to circulate several animals, there are no reports on Korean from wildlife. We investigated the biological molecular characteristics of based nucleotide sequence segment 1 gene. In total, 144 swabs wild animals were prepared for virus isolation. Based isolation with specific c...

O motor a relutância variável (MRV) tem sido considerado uma alternativa viável para substituir os motores elétricos clássicos em aplicações que demandam acionamentos com velocidades variáveis. Este é robusto, dispõe de construção simples e vantagem possuir um rotor não necessita enrolamentos ou ímãs permanentes operar. Neste trabalho, MRV 8/6 tetrafásico projetado fim indução trifásico (MIT), ...

Background: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) can decrease vascular contraction to NE. We tested the hypothesis that metabolism and/or uptake of vasoactive amines by mesenteric PVAT (MPVAT) could affect NE-induced contraction of the mesenteric resistance arteries. Methods: Mesenteric resistance vessels (MRV) and MPVAT from male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. RT-PCR and Western blots were perfo...

BACKGROUND REDD+ implementation requires establishment of a system for measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) of forest carbon changes. A challenge for MRV is the lack of satellite based methods that can track not only deforestation, but also degradation and forest growth, as well as a lack of historical data that can serve as a basis for a reference emission level. Working in a miombo woo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There are few data on the rate and characterization of medication-related visits (MRVs) to the emergency department (ED) in pediatric patients. We sought to evaluate the frequency, severity, preventability, and classification of MRVs to the ED in pediatric patients. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study of pediatric patients presenting to the ED over ...

The studies in this PLOS ONE collection investigated the feasibility of community participation in Measuring, Reporting and Verifying (Participatory MRV-PMRV) initiatives in the context of national programs to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). While such participation is desirable, its feasibility has been uncertain. This collection builds the empirical foundat...

Sungai Muar or River is special. Passing through three states of Peninsular Malaysia, it originates in Negeri Sembilan, passes briefly Malacca, into Johor and ends the Straits Malacca. Though laden with history presently undergoing much socio-economic development, importance this river remains inconspicuous, as simply known Muar. This paper proposes that a geographical official entity be recogn...

BACKGROUND The reliable monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon emissions and removals from the forest sector is an important part of the efforts on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Forest-dependent local communities are engaged to contribute to MRV through community-based monitoring systems. The efficiency of such monitoring systems could be ...
