INTERPRETING MOBILE AND HANDHELD AIR SENSOR READINGS IN RELATION TO AIR QUALITY STANDARDS AND HEALTH EFFECT REFERENCE VALUES: TACKLING THE CHALLENGES

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies face a number of challenges in interpreting and reconciling short-duration (seconds to minutes) readings from mobile and handheld air sensors with the longer duration averages (hours to days) associated with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the criteria po

Human abc material induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have emerged as a powerful platform for in vitro modelling of cardiac diseases, safety pharmacology and drug screening.All these applications require large quantities of well-characterised and standardised batches of hiPSC-CMs.Cryopreservation of hiPSC-CMs without a

We analyzed the polar membrane lipids of 13 strains of halo(alkali)philic euryarchaea from hypersaline lakes.Nine belong to the class Halobacteria, representing two functional groups: aerobic polysaccharide utilizers and sulfur-respiring anaerobes.The other four strains represent halo(alkali)philic methanogens from the class Methanomicrobia and a r

The study examines the personality profile of gifted vs.average-ability students from the perspective of the FFM.The issue was approached by (1) reviewing the literature for well-established personality characteristics of the gifted, (2) establishing correspondences between these traits leopard drum throne and FFM domains/facets, and (3) formulatin

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the requisite precursor to multiple myeloma abc material (MM), a malignancy of antibody-producing plasma B-cells.The genetic basis of MGUS and its progression to MM remains poorly understood.C57BL/KaLwRij (KaLwRij) is a spontaneously-derived inbred mouse strain with a high frequency of be
