BACKGROUND Rapid review (RR) products are inherently appealing as they are intended to be less time-consuming and resource-intensive than traditional systematic reviews (SRs); however, there is concern about the rigor of methods and reliability of results. In 2013 to 2014, a workgroup comprising representatives from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Evidence-based Practice Center...

Romantic relationship satisfaction (RRS) is important for mental/physical health but varies greatly across individuals. To date, we have known little about the biological (genetic and neural) correlates of RRS. We tested the hypothesis that the serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), the promoter region of the gene SLC6A4 that codes for the serotonin transporter protein, is asso...

An index of airway caliber can be tracked in near-real time by measuring airway resistance (Raw) as indicated by lung resistance at 8 Hz. These measurements require the placing of an esophageal balloon. The objective of this study was to establish whether total respiratory system resistance (Rrs) could be used rather than Raw to track airway caliber, thereby not requiring an esophageal balloon....

We report on the study of the low temperature resonant Raman scattering (RRS) in G ~ A S / A ~ , ~ ~ G Q . ~ ~ A S Bragg confining structures (BCS). The LO-phonon RRS is observed in the spectral range of the (eB : hhB) and ( e ~ : l h ~ ) Bragg confined excitons. The RRS profiles show an outgoing beam resonance that is much stronger than the incoming beam resonance. These profiles are analyzed ...

this study presents an empirical relationship of suspended sediment concentrations (sscs) inthe coastal waters, which is derived from the conventional methods, to radiometer remote sensing reflectance values (rrs) and satellite data in coastal waters of kerala. an algorithm is then developed to utilize both in situ sscs measured from conventional methods and rrs values. this algorithm is valida...

Introduction Our hospital is a tertiary 1000-bed hospital. In 2011, rapid response system (RRS) was introduced in the hospital. Our rapid response team (RRT) includes critical care physicians, critical care nurses and physical therapists. Usually, team members are working at ICU. They also provides respiratory care or critical care interventions to the patients in the wards, after discharged fr...

Ribonucleotide reductases (RRs or RNRs) catalyze the reduction of OH group on 2nd carbon ribose, reducing four ribonucleotides (NTPs) to corresponding deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) promote DNA synthesis. Large viruses, such as herpesviruses and poxviruses, could benefit their replication through increasing dNTPs via expression viral RRs. Little is known regarding relationship between cellular RR...

This study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of chromophoric-dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in Mediterranean Sea. The analysis is carried out using a state-of-the-art 3D biogeochemical model. model describes plankton dynamics, cycles most important limiting nutrients, particulate dissolved pools carbon. source CDOM directly correlated to dynamics carbon (DOC) by fixed productio...

Seventy-four streptomycin (SM)-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates were subjected to cross-resistance drug testing against two major aminoglycosides, kanamycin (KM) and amikacin (AMK). Among them, 15 clinical isolates (20.3%) were resistant to both KM and AMK. Fifteen (80%) of 19 KM-resistant isolates were AMK-resistant. Fifteen SM, KM, and AMK resistant isolates harbored rrs mutation, ...

We examine the dissipative dynamics of N00N states with an arbitrary photon number N in two architectures fiber-coupled optical ring resonators (RRs) interacting two-level quantum emitters. One architecture consists a two-way cascaded array emitter-cavity systems, while other we consider RRs each coupled to multiple dipole-dipole (DDI) emitters (QEs). Our focus this paper is study how am initia...
