Abstract Study question Do gut microbial composition and functionality differ between women with without endometriosis? Summary answer Gut microbiome diversity (species pathways) were not significantly different endometriosis. What is known already Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside uterus, one most common female reproductive disorders. Although theories p...

The role that investment-specific technological change played in generating postwar U.S. growth is investigated here. The premise is that the introduction of new, more efficient capital goods is an important source of productivity change, and an attempt is made to disentangle its effects from the more traditional Hicksneutral form of technological progress. The balanced growth path for the mode...

Flight Mass Spectrometers (ATOFMS) in the 3800 series of instruments with built-in Aerodynamic Focusing Lens technology. Without a focusing lens, the ATOFMS samples particles from a variety of sources through a nozzle. Typically, particles from about 100 to 3000 nanometers are sampled with sharply decreasing efficiency for smaller sizes. To overcome this size bias, to sample smaller particles e...

By analyzing time-activity curves over selected brain regions, following intravenous administration of a non-diffusible radionuclide, it is possible to assess regional arm-brain mean transit time (rABmtT). By evaluating this parameter in normal subjects a relatively small range of differences between symmetrical regions can be found (030 ± 0.14 sec, mean ± SD). An increase of this difference ab...
