Abstract Background Extremely preterm neonates often require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions derived from adult donors. These transfusions introduce adult hemoglobin into a neonatal hematopoietic system dominated by fetal hemoglobin (HbF), shifting the oxygen‐dissociation curve and increasing oxygen delivery to immature tissues.

δ13C and δ15N Values of Residues Provide Insights Into Identification of the Explosive Source
ABSTRACT Rationale Postblast analyses of military and terrorist events will benefit from the capacity to learn more about the explosive materials used in an event. Here stable isotope ratio analyses (δ13C, δ15N) can provide additional information to complement identification of the explosive components.

Revisiting acidulation for tall oil and lignin manufacturing
Abstract Tall oil is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process when softwood is used as raw material. As the production of softwood‐based pulp is in high demand, the optimization of the tall oil production process needs to be revisited to ensure the highest quality and quantity of tall oil manufacturing. In this work, the process for tall oil production
