How the sales of oral nicotine pouches correlate with prices and respond to taxes on cigarettes and e‐cigarettes [PDF]
Addiction, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims Oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) have seen a dramatic rise in sales since their introduction to the US market in 2016. We aimed to define the relationship between ONP prices and sales (e.g. price elasticity of demand) and determine how taxes on cigarettes and e‐cigarettes (ECs) impact ONP sales.

Prokaryotic taxonomy in the sequencing era and the role of MLSA in classification [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2011 The initial step in prokaryote species and genera descriptions is now largely based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach followed often by a very restricted additional phenotypic characterisation of the representatives of the potential novel taxa.
