To evaluate the effects of storage conditions on total protein (TP) and globulin fractions in fresh frozen bovine plasma units prepared and stored for transfusion, TP and globulin fractions were evaluated in fresh plasma and at 1 month and 6 and 12 months after blood collection in plasma stored at -20°C. Significant differences in concentrations were found in the median concentration of total p...

OBJECTIVE To explore the future career preferences of Commonwealth-supported place (CSP) and full-fee paying (FFP) medical students in Australia. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data from the Medical Schools Outcomes Database and Longitudinal Tracking (MSOD) Project exit questionnaire for CSP and FFP students who graduated between 2008 and 2011 were analysed using logistic regression. The in...

Background The paediatric flat foot is a frequent presentation in clinical practice, a common concern to parents and continues to be debated. As an entity, it is confused by varied classifications, the notion of well-intended prevention and unsubstantiated, if common, treatment [1]. The paediatric flat foot proforma (p-FFP) is a standardized framework from which to evaluate the paediatric flat ...

Using the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), I investigated the impact of family-friendly policies (FFPs) on job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the private sector of South Korea. Paid leave, childcare leave, and support for housing are positively related to both job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Sick leave is positively related to organizational commitment...

Ultrathin frozen sections of biological tissues for electron microscopy provide certain advantages in cytochemical studies in which the penetration of cells by large molecules is necessary and in morphological studies of cellular constituents which are dissolved by the reagents employed in routine plastic embedding . The recent introduction of several types of commercially available cryo-ultram...

This paper describes the replication of an empirical study that was designed to evaluate the adoption of RmFFP in practice. RmFFP is a measurement procedure designed to measure the functional size of objectoriented systems from requirements specifications obtained in the context of the OO-Method approach. This procedure has been designed in accordance with the COSMIC-FFP standard method. The ev...
