Static floating chambers (FCs) are the conventional method to measure CH4 fluxes across water-air interface in ponds, while thin boundary layer (TBL) modelling is increasingly used estimate fluxes. In this study, both FCs measurements and TBL models of gas transfer velocity were determine evasion from aquaculture ponds southeastern China. The surface water concentrations ranged 0.4 9.1 ?mol L-1...

BACKGROUND Missing data is a common problem in epidemiological studies, and is particularly prominent in longitudinal data, which involve multiple waves of data collection. Traditional multiple imputation (MI) methods (fully conditional specification (FCS) and multivariate normal imputation (MVNI)) treat repeated measurements of the same time-dependent variable as just another 'distinct' variab...

BACKGROUND The majority of cancer treatment is provided in outpatient settings. Family caregivers' (FCs') knowledge and beliefs about pain and its management are critical components of effective care. OBJECTIVE This study's aim was to evaluate the efficacy of a psychoeducational intervention, compared with control, to increase FCs' knowledge of cancer pain management. INTERVENTION/METHODS F...

Production of flavors from natural substrates by microbial transformation has become a growing and expanding field of study over the past decades. Vanillin, a major component of vanilla flavor, is a principal flavoring compound used worldwide. Streptomyces sp. strain V-1 is known to be one of the most promising microbial producers of natural vanillin from ferulic acid. Although identification o...

Dipteran ovaries consist of structural-functional units termed egg chambers. Each egg chamber is composed of a cluster of germ cells enveloped by a simple somatic follicular epithelium. With the progress of oogenesis, initially an almost uniform population of follicular cells (FCs) becomes diversified into a few subgroups, which significantly differ in their function and behaviour. From the ext...

PURPOSE To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects and tolerability of the 3 prostaglandin-timolol fixed combinations (PG-timolol FCs). METHODS Clinical trials comparing directly the PG-timolol FCs or comparing the PG-timolol FCs to their individual components were thoroughly searched. The main outcome measures were efficacy assessed by IOP (taken at 9 am, noon, 4 pm, and ove...

This note provides operational advice and information to help staff implement the IMF Strategy for Fragile Conflict-Affected States (FCS) approved by Executive Board on March 9, 2022. Topics covered include (i) new FCS classification methodology, which is aligned with that of World Bank; (ii) preparation Country Engagement Strategies (CES) will be rolled out across ensure Fund engagement approp...

In this study, the concentration and brightness measured by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) in samples containing multiple species with different levels was demonstrated. FCS measurements of such are generally difficult. However, calculation we introduced here can provide measurement results FCS. The effectiveness investigated based on simulations experiments case a mixture fluoresc...

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play an important regulatory role in gene expression. These proteins are crucial in stem cell regulation and normal development in all organisms. The FCS domain is part of a multimeric polycomb protein complex called Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). Based on previous studies, the domain has been hypothesized as a link binding PRC1 to polylinker DNA. This prote...

Diverse groups of chemicals in culture media are needed for successful bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development during which dramatic cytoplasmic and nuclear reprogramming events take place. In vitro embryo production (IVP) procedures frequently include supplements such as serum and/or co-culture with various types of somatic cells. However, the presence of undefined serum in culture med...
