Demographers have much to contribute to climate change science. This paper describes a new framework being developed by the climate research community that holds potential as an organizing tool for population-climate scholarship, as well as being useful for identifying demographic research gaps within the climate change field. The shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) represent plausible altern...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Adherence to the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep practice (SSP) recommendations among hospitalized infants is unknown, but is assumed to be low. This quality improvement study aimed to increase adherence to SSPs for infants admitted to a children's hospital general care unit between October 2013 and December 2014.

Furthermore, spiritual care is an essential component in the nursing context, as nurses h...

Two new antimony telluride single source precursors (SSPs), Ph2SbTeR (R = Et, Ph), have been used to synthesise pure and defect free hexagonal Sb2Te3 nanoplates by thermal decomposition in an organic solvent. The chemical composition of the SSPs plays an important role in the formation of antimony telluride nanocrystals.

in the present study, seven isolates of haemophilus influenzae type b were cultured in four different media to compare growth rate and capsule production. four liquid media namely brain heart infusion broth (bhi), trypticase soy broth (tsb), mueller hinton broth (mhb) and gonococci broth (gc) with added supplements (1% hemoglobin, 1% isovitalex) were used. the growth was measured by colony coun...
