Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Optimal design of photovoltaic shading systems for multi-story buildings

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
This study provides new insights into the comprehensive energy and economic performances of Photovoltaic Shading Systems (PVSS) in multi-story buildings. A numerical shading model was developed to evaluate the shading effect from an upper PVSS row on its

Biomarker Potential of Interleukin-6 in Differentiating Necrotizing Enterocolitis from Late-Onset Sepsis in Neonates Born Preterm

Journal of Pediatrics: Clinical Practice
Objective: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an early biomarker for sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We assessed IL-6's ability to differentiate between late-onset sepsis (LOS) and NEC and between medical and surgical NEC.

Liquid organic hydrogen carriers: Process design and economic analysis for manufacturing N‐ethylcarbazole

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing
This paper revisits the economics of manufacturing N‐ethylcarbazole (NEC), a strong candidate for large‐scale liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) supply chains, because of its high H2 storage capacity (6 wt%), selective hydrogenation and ...

Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.

Metabolomic signatures distinguish the impact of formula carbohydrates on disease outcome in a preterm piglet model of NEC

Microbiome, 2018
Background Major risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) include premature birth and formula feeding in the context of microbial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract. We previously showed that feeding formula composed of lactose vs.

Design and Validation of Blast Non-propagation Wall for Multi-Compartmented Explosive Storage Structure of Capacity 5T NEC per Compartment

Defence Science Journal, 2018
Conventional magazines for hazard division 1.1 are constructed using bricks and reinforced cement concrete (RCC) for which storage inside quantity distance (SIQD) is 2.4 W1/3 m, where W is Net Explosive Content in kg. New composite called laced reinforced concrete (LRC) has been developed recently, for which SIQD has been reduced up to 0.5 W1/3 m.

The interplay between molecular architecture, pharmacology, and suspected adverse drug reactions associated with nonsteroidal androgen antagonists in the United Kingdom

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This work aimed to correlate potential links between the suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) profile of licensed nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonists (NSARA) with their unique chemical properties and known off‐target polypharmacology. Methods Physicochemical and polypharmacology data were curated from the Electronic Medicines Compendium ...

Elevated DUOX2 levels correlate with necrotizing enterocolitis development

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundNeonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening intestinal disease primarily affecting preterm infants. Although the exact pathophysiology remains unclear, immune responses and redox reactions play crucial roles in its ...
