This study assessed how digestate and the liquid fraction (LF) of would perform as candidate RENURE fertilisers (recovered nitrogen from manure) in nitrate vulnerable zones under proposed criteria Joint Research Centre, namely, (i) a mineral to total ratio ≥ 90% (Nmin:TN 90%) or organic carbon TN ≤ 3 (TOC:TN 3); (ii) limits ≤300 copper (Cu) mg kg−1 ≤800 Zinc (Zn) kg−1. These were applied unpubl...

Consider the complete rooted binary tree T. We construct a sequence Tn, n = 1, 2, . . . of subtrees of T recursively as follows. T1 consists only of the root. Given Tn, we choose a leaf u uniformly at random from the set of all leaves of Tn and add its two children to the tree to create Tn+1. Thus Tn+1 consists of Tn and the children u1, u2 of u, and contains in total 2n+ 1 nodes, including n+ ...

Polynomials are defined recursively in various ways associated with reciprocation; e.g., Sn+1(x)/Tn+1(x) = Sn(x)/Tn(x) ± Tn(x)/Sn(x). Under certain conditions, the zeros of Sn interlace those of Tn. Identities for Sn, Tn, and related polynomials are derived, as well as recurrence relations and infinite sums involving roots of polynomials.

PURPOSE The receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells (RCAS1) is a novel tumor-associated antigen. Although evidence suggests that RCAS1 suppresses immunity by inducing tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) apoptosis, RCAS1 function in humans is controversial. RCAS1 overexpression leads to the generation of the Tn glycan antigen (N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, GalNAc) recognized by the 2...

This communication reports an analysis of Tn5yIS50 target site selection by using an extensive collection of Tn5 and IS50 insertions in two relatively small regions of DNA (less than 1 kb each). For both regions data were collected resulting from in vitro and in vivo transposition events. Since the data sets are consistent and transposase was the only protein present in vitro, this demonstrates...

OBJECTIVES Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a fatal tumor of increasing incidence related to asbestos exposure. Microscopic tumor necrosis (TN) is a poor prognostic factor in solid tumors, but it has not been characterized in MM. We wished to evaluate the incidence of TN in MM and its correlations with clinicopathologic factors, angiogenesis, and survival. METHODS TN was graded in 171 routine f...

A progressive increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) has been reported over the last few decades. This either reflects the increased number of newly discovered and accurately selected thyroid nodules with more sensitive technologies and a relative more potent carcinogenic effect of pathogenetic factors in malignant, but not benign nodules. This observational time-trend study addresses...

Let (Tn)n≥0 be the Tribonacci sequence defined by the recurrence Tn+2 = Tn+1 + Tn + Tn−1, with T0 = 0 and T1 = T2 = 1. In this short note, we prove that there are no integer solutions (u,m) to the Brocard-Ramanujan equation m! + 1 = u2 where u is a Tribonacci number.
