Legumes are commonly grown in the tropics under reduced solar radiation due to dense cloud cover and shading from plantation or tall intercrops. This paper examines the growth and N2 fixation of several grain legumes common to the tropics on an Oxic Haplustoll in Hawaii. Plantings were made in April (warm season) and November (cool season) of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) ‘Kahala’; Cowpea (Vig...

Screening of colorectal cancer is crucial for early stage diagnosis and treatment. Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the metabolome present in exhaled breath is a promising approach to screen colorectal cancer (CRC). Various forms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that show the definitive signature for the different diseases including cancers are present in exhale breathe. Am...

Methods The unit analysis was a person-regimen of 2 NRTI (NNRTI, PI/r) lasting ]90 days. Adherence was measured by the proportion of days covered using pharmacy refill data. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare CNA, PNA and total non-adherence (TNA) in the following groups: STR vs its components (EFV TDF/FTC) and non-FDC vs FDC vs STR. The level of adherence per group and the impact o...

Abstract Social Enterprises (SEs) have become the focus of increased policy attention internationally and at EU level in recent years. Not as much attention, however, has been given to identifying eliminating their skills gaps training needs. Following principles Training Needs Analysis (TNA) methodology collecting data from different stakeholders on social entrepreneurship sector four countrie...

Distantasca Dworakowska originally established as a genus but more recently has been treated as a subgenus of Empoasca Walsh. Here we reinstate Distantasca as a valid genus and provide a revised diagnosis. New combinations created are Distantasca atika (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca barawa (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca bulbosa (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca latava (Dworakowsk...

Polymerases that synthesize artificial genetic polymers hold great promise for advancing future applications in synthetic biology. However, engineering natural polymerases to replicate unnatural genetic polymers is a challenging problem. Here we present droplet-based optical polymerase sorting (DrOPS) as a general strategy for expanding polymerase function that employs an optical sensor to moni...
