In order to evaluate latitudinal differences in the relationship of phytoplankton biomass and diversity with environmental conditions in shallow lakes, we sampled 98 shallow lakes from three European regions: Denmark (DK), Belgium/The Netherlands (BNL) and southern Spain (SP). Phytoplankton biomass increased with total phosphorus (TP) concentrations and decreased with submerged macrophyte cover across the three regions. Generic richness was ...

Three forest and four botanical garden top soil isolates with unique MALDI-TOF mass spectra were identified as Paraburkholderia strains closely related to Paraburkholderia sartisoli through recA gene sequence analysis. OrthoANIu, digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyses and phylogenomic analyses demonstrated that the five strains represented two new Paraburkholderia species closely related to P. sartisoli. The genome of strain LMG 31841(T) had a ...

BACKGROUND The prognostic implications of discordant grading in severe aortic stenosis (AS) are well known. However, the prevalence of different flow-gradient patterns and their prognostic implications in moderate AS are unknown. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence and prognostic implications of different flow-gradient patterns in patients with moderate AS. METHODS Patients with moderate AS (aortic valve area ...

Clinical and radiographic examination of the cervical spine has been of increasing interest in the prepurchase examination and clinical work‐up conducted for horses. The objective of this study was to describe a grading system useful for evaluating all the cervical articular process joints (cAPJs). Additionally, the findings of the cervical radiographs (occiput, cAPJ and intercentral joint space grading, intra‐ and intervertebral sagittal ...

The selection of pharmacotherapy for patients with allergic rhinitis aims to control the disease and depends on many factors. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines have considerably improved the treatment of allergic rhinitis. However, there is an increasing trend toward use of real-world evidence to inform clinical practice, especially because randomized controlled trials are often limited with ...

The optimal treatment strategy of newly diagnosed glioma is strongly influenced by tumour malignancy. Manual non-invasive grading based on MRI is not always accurate and biopsies to verify diagnosis negatively impact overall survival. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic 3D computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to non-invasively differentiate high-grade glioblastoma from lower-grade glioma. The approach consists of an automatic ...

The Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2-material system (CIGSSe) has an adjustable band gap which allows to make structures with a varying band gap throughout the film thickness. Because the performance of solar cells with a uniform composition is dependent on the band gap, it is necessary to compare the efficiency of a solar cell having such a graded band gap absorber with the efficiency of an adequate uniform reference sample. Several references are compared and ...
