...Diana Panke; Franziska Hohlstein; Gurur Polat Résumé: L'analyse des performances des Organisations internationales (OI) d'une manière comparative est d'une grande importance. Cependant, les OI diffèrent remarquablement, ce qui rend les comparaisons difficiles. Cet article examine la productivité...

... foraging life stages). We discuss the implications of such drivers of the development rate for implementing and applying phenological models that may benefit from including factors other than temperature. While performance curves such as development rate curves obtained from laboratory experiments...

Their fermentation performances (fermentation kinetics and aroma production) compared...

... 22 12 2017 ABSTRACT   Falls are common among older inpatients and remain a great challenge for hospitals. Despite the relevance of physical impairments to falls, the prognostic value of performance‐based functional measures for in‐hospital falls and injurious falls remains unknown. This study...

On each foliage renewal, larval mortality was recorded, and head capsules were collected and stored in gelatin capsules. For each insect, head capsule width was measured using...

... measured 60 min after the start of dialysis by simultaneously drawing an arterial and a venous blood sample, and an effluent dialysate sample, at zero ultrafiltration rate. Urea and creatinine kinetic modelling (UKM and CKM, respectively) was performed over a complete dialysis cycle (pre‐session 1 to pre...

... Introduction. During real-time monitoring of the ultrafiltration coefficient (Kuf) in haemodiafiltration (HDF), it was noticed that the ultrafiltration performance of polysulphone membrane dialysers increased when hypertonic glucose (D50%) was administered through the venous blood return.
