The efficient operation of the surgical pathology gross room [PDF]
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2008 The gross room is the area where pathology specimens from operating rooms are transferred for pathology review and analysis, serving as the bridge between the treating physician and diagnostic surgical pathologist. Reaching the correct diagnosis for a specimen depends on the proper handling and processing of tissue transferred to this very busy area ...

Metabolic Flexibility and Mechanical Efficiency in Women Over-60
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Purpose: Aging deteriorates metabolic flexibility (MF). Moreover, recent studies show that glycolysis is barely increased despite impoverished lipid metabolism, in addition to increased relevance of muscle power in older adults.

Contagion and Efficiency in Gross and Net Interbank Payment Systems [PDF]
Journal of Financial Intermediation, 1998 Abstract The impressive growth in the value of daily interbank payments1 has raised concerns about the potential systemic risk induced by contagion. This effect, also known as the domino effect, occurs if the failure of a large financial institution to settle payment obligations triggers a chain reaction that threatens the stability ...

The effect of ambient temperature on gross-efficiency in cycling
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2007 Time-trial performance deteriorates in the heat. This might potentially be the result of a temperature-induced decrease in gross-efficiency (GE). The effect of high ambient temperature on GE during cycling will be studied, with the intent of determining if a heat-induced change in GE could account for the performance decrements in time trial exercise ...
