The article analyses patterns and country-specific determinants of Visegrad Countries’ (VC) agri-food trade with the European Union. Literature focusing on the country-specific determinants of vertical and horizontal intra-industry trade is rather limited and those analysing agricultural (or agri-food) trade are extremely rare. Therefore, the paper seeks to contribute to the literature by cover...

Atmospheric particulate PAH concentrations were measured at two locations in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. Total PAH concentrations (seven compounds) at Saki Naka and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) were 38.8 and 24.5 ng m~3. Pyrene and benz(a)anthracene#chrysene were abundant at both sites while benzo(b)#uoranthene and benzo(k)#uoranthene were abundant, in addition, at the IIT site. Th...

ALEXANDER LESHANSKY, Department of Chemical Engineering, Technion-IIT, Haifa, Israel, ODED KENNETH, Physics Department, Technion-IIT, Haifa, Israel — We consider the potential mechanism of spirochete propulsion driven by twirling of the outer cell surface coupled to counte...

The paper aims to identify patterns and country-specific determinants of intra-industry trade (IIT) in agri-food products between Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH) other CEFTA 2006 parties the period 2008-2018. purpose is contribute filling gap empirical literature on IIT South East European countries, especially regard non-manufacturing sectors. To investigate intensity structure analysis employed Grub...

You have decided to develop a protocol for insulin therapy in your intensive care unit (ICU). You wonder about the merit of using intensive insulin therapy (IIT) to maintain tight blood glucose control in your patients.

INTRODUCTION Glycemic variability as a marker of endogenous and exogenous factors, and glucose complexity as a marker of endogenous glucose regulation are independent predictors of mortality in critically ill patients. We evaluated the impact of real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on glycemic variability in critically ill patients on intensive insulin therapy (IIT), and investigated g...

The ability to integrate information in the brain is considered to be an essential property for cognition and consciousness. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) hypothesizes that the amount of integrated information (Φ) in the brain is related to the level of consciousness. IIT proposes that to quantify information integration in a system as a whole, integrated information should bemeasured acr...

Following decisions taken by Pacific Islands Forum Leaders in August 2009, PACER Plus (Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations) negotiations have begun, aiming to deepen economic cooperation between the 14 developing Pacific island countries (PICs) and Australia and New Zealand through a comprehensive, reciprocal regional trade agreement. PACER Plus builds on previous agreements within t...

BACKGROUND Nutritional support has been recognized as an essential part of intensive care unit management. However, the appropriate caloric intake for critically ill patients remains ill defined. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of permissive underfeeding compared with that of target feeding and of intensive insulin therapy (IIT) compared with that of conventional insulin therapy (CIT) on the...
