Issue For a variety of reasons, community forestry is not always well suited to existing forest certification schemes. Using the case of Nepal, this paper considers the extent to which promoting the trade in non‐ timber forest products can complement, or even provide an alternative to, forest certification for timber while promoting sustainable community forestry. The paper develops recent work...

Recent studies have shown that moir\'e flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can acquire nontrivial Berry curvatures when aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride substrate, which be manifested as correlated Chern insulator near the 3/4 filling. In this Letter, we show large lead to strong nonlinear Hall (NLH) effect strained TBG general filling factors. Under weak uniaxial strain $\ensure...

In order to investigate the relation of weight loss and intravenous hyperalimentation therapy to low T3 syndrome, serum T3, T4. rT3 and TBG were determined by radioimmunoassay in 105 cancer patients. The cancer patients were classified into 3 groups, Group I, II and III depending on the grade of weight loss, ranging up to a 5% change in weight loss from a healthy condition, from 5 to 9%, and mo...

Basal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormone levels were evaluated in 18 women with bulimia nervosa during a period of active binging and vomiting and again after 7 weeks of abstinence from these behaviors and compared to measures in 27 control women. In 10 of the patients and 11 of the controls, the TSH nocturnal surge was calculated from hourly TSH measurements obtained in the ...

Results T he weighted mean duration of clinical follow-up was 6 months. Aspiration thrombectomy vs. conventional primary PCI (18 trials, n1⁄43,936): Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (risk ratio [RR]: 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63 to 0.92; p 1⁄4 0.006) and all-cause mortality (RR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.51 to 0.99; p 1⁄4 0.049) were significantly reduced with aspiration thrombectomy. Bene...

Reverse triiodothyronine (rT3), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroxine binding globulin (TBG), and thyrotrophin (TSH) were measured in sera from placental cord blood in an unselected series of 272 deliveries. In this series the concentrations of rT3 (mean 3 *33 nmol/l, 95 % confidence limits 1 *67 .0 nmol/l), were log normally distributed and did not overlap the adult normal range (O ...

Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg), causing the sleeping sickness chronic form, completes its developmental cycle within the tsetse fly vector Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Gpg) before its transmission to humans. Within the framework of an anti-vector disease control strategy, a global gene expression profiling of trypanosome infected (susceptible), non-infected, and self-cured (refractory) tse...

Studies of the metabolism of thyroxine in 14 cases of cirrhosis revealed a variety of deviations from normal. In addition to radiothyroxine turnover studies, determinations were made of the free thyroxine fractions and free thyroxine iodine concentrations in serum (magnesium precipitation method) as well as the maximal binding capacities of thyroxine-binding alpha globulin (TBG) and thyroxine-b...
