While China has transformed its economy over recent decades, challenges such as climate change and land degradation have continued to impact agriculture. These effects along with changes in diets growing food imports will force look for alternative cropping options. Despite the broad potential of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) a resilient nutritious underutilized crop, less is k...

While some work has discussed hiring system administrators, and other work has focused on the technical and mechanical requirements for terminating a system administrator, there has been very little published regarding how to review or evaluate a system administrator. This paper presents one approach to doing such a review, followed by scenarios that explore the approach. The system developed i...

Unprecedented Ullmann couplings of murrayafoline-A with either 6-bromo- or 4-bromocarbazole derivatives provide highly efficient synthetic routes to the biscarbazole alkaloids murrastifoline-A (6 steps, 66% overall yield) and bismurrayafoline-A (6 steps, 28% overall yield).

This study was carried out to define different drip irrigation approaches on fruit yield and quality parameters of orange (Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia Late) trees during 2014-2016 at the private farm in Güzelyurt, Northern Cyprus. The amount water applied based total evaporation obtained from Class A pan (Kcp1:1.25, Kcp2:1.00, Kcp3:0.75 Kcp4:0.50) experimental plots were irrigated when about 3...

The combination of either boceprevir or telaprevir with ribavirin and interferon (triple therapy) has been shown to be more effective than ribavirin+interferon (dual therapy) for the treatment of genotype 1 hepatitis C. Since the benefit of these treatments takes place after years, simulation models are needed to predict long-term outcomes. In simulation models, the choice of different values o...

BACKGROUND The National Cervical Screening Program in Australia currently recommends that sexually active women between the ages of 18-70 years attend routine screening every 2 years. The publically funded National HPV Vaccination Program commenced in 2007, with catch-up in females aged 12-26 years conducted until 2009; and this may prompt consideration of whether the screening interval and oth...

BACKGROUND Incidental durotomy is a familiar encounter during surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. The impact of durotomy on long-term outcomes remains a matter of debate. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of durotomy on the long-term outcomes of patients in the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT). METHODS The SPORT cohort participants with a confirmed diagnosis of spinal stenosis,...
