All animals flee from potential predators, and the distance at which this happens is optimized so the benefits from staying are balanced against the costs of flight. Because predator diversity and abundance decreases with increasing latitude, and differs between rural and urban areas, we should expect escape distance when a predator approached the individual to decrease with latitude and depend...

Anaesthetic pollution is of interest to people subject to low concentrations of all types of gases and volatile anaesthetic during occupational activities. The decrease in recent years in the number of relevant publications does not necessarily mean that pollution has gone away or that the problem has been solved. A number of coincidental factors have brought the matter back into consideration....

Recent years have seen Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) become a dominant resource for firms from emerging markets to enhance their innovation capability and achieve sustainable development.

Residual solvents in pharmaceutical excipients, active ingredients (APIs), and finished products are usually analyzed using gas chromatography (GC)-based techniques according to a pharmacopeial monograph, such as the United States Pharmacopeia’s (USP) chapter <467>. GC analyses often slow, which limits sample throughput. Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) removes rate-limi...
