The nature of organic carbon in the < 2, 2–20, 20–53, 53–200, and 200–2000 mu m fractions four surface soils was determined using solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy with cross polarisation magic angle spinning (CP/MAS). Analyses were repeated after high energy ultraviolet photo-oxidation performed on three finest fractions. All soils, studied contained appreciable amounts physically protected while even higher charcoal. It not possible to measure charcoal...
To develop a survey to accurately assess parental vaccine hesitancy.The initial contained 17 items in four content domains: (1) immunization behavior; (2) beliefs about safety and efficacy; (3) attitudes mandates exemptions; (4) trust. Focus group data yielded an additional 10 items. Expert review of the resulted deletion nine 27 revisions 11 remaining 18 Parent pretesting one item, addition revision items, formatting changes enhance usability. The final contains original domains.An...
Acceptance of childhood vaccinations is waning, amplifying interest in developing and testing interventions that address parental barriers to immunization acceptance.To determine the predictive validity test-retest reliability Parent Attitudes About Childhood Vaccines survey (PACV), a recently developed measure vaccine hesitancy.Prospective cohort English-speaking parents children aged 2 months born from July 10 through December 10, 2010, who belonged an integrated health care delivery...
<h3>Importance</h3> Intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase improves reperfusion prior to endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke compared alteplase. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether 0.40 mg/kg of safely before vs 0.25 in patients large vessel occlusion stroke. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> Randomized clinical trial at 27 hospitals Australia 1 New Zealand using open-label treatment blinded assessment radiological outcomes. Patients were enrolled from December...
Five surface soils of differing chemical and mineralogical compositions were subjected to either a sequence dithionite/citrate extractions in which the soil: citrate ratio was varied or 1% 2% HF extractions. The treatment resulted removal highest Fe concentrations (79-95%) while less effective removing from same (18-75%). remaining after appeared be mostly associated with ilmenite crystals only slowly attacked by dilute acid. During treatments, some organic carbon lost (8-17%), but this loss...
Abstract A method for the semiquantitative estimation of charcoal (char) in soils is reported. The technique, performed on <53 μm fraction soils, utilizes highly aromatic nature char and its relative stability to two hours high energy ultraviolet photo‐oxidation compared other soil carbon fractions. proportion estimated as (C) content measured by solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using cross polarization magic angle spinning. Corrections are made underestimate aryl C...
BACKGROUND. Infant crying is an important precipitant for shaken-infant syndrome. OBJECTIVE. To determine if parent education materials (The Period of PURPLE Crying [PURPLE]) change maternal knowledge and behavior relevant to infant shaking. METHODS. This study was a randomized, controlled trial conducted in prenatal classes, maternity wards, pediatric practices. There were 1374 mothers newborns randomly assigned the intervention 1364 control group. Primary outcomes measured by telephone 2...
The delineation and management of homogenous classes within a field is an important step in the evolution from uniform to site‐specific management. adoption class or zone on‐farm has been slow due extension gap between researchers producers. To overcome this, protocol developed using freeware shareware programs freely available over Internet. This promotes cost‐effective approach at grower consultant level. Users begin with raw data stepwise process clean, interpolate, then cluster develop...
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening disorder with reported mortality rates of 25-60 percent in pediatric patients. The authors report on their experience managing six children using standardized treatment protocol the intensive care unit regional burn center. Areas sloughed skin were covered porcine xenograft (pig skin) until reepithelialization was complete. There one death series, and child had ophthalmologic complications. Treatment multidisciplinary center recommended for TEN.

To characterize discrepancies between transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements and total serum (TSB) levels among newborns receiving care at multiple nursery sites across the United States.Medical records were reviewed to obtain data on all TcB collected during two 2-week periods neonates admitted participating newborn nurseries. Data TSB obtained within 2 hours of a measurement also abstracted. TcB--TSB differences correlations values determined. demographic information for individual...
<h3>PURPOSE</h3> This study examined relationships between provider communication practices, antibiotic prescribing, and parent care ratings during pediatric visits for acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI). <h3>METHODS</h3> A cross-sectional was conducted of 1,285 motivated by ARTI symptoms. Children were seen 1 28 providers representing 10 practices in Seattle, Washington, December 2007 April 2009. Providers completed post-visit surveys reporting on children's presenting symptoms,...
BACKGROUND: The assessment of jaundice in outpatient neonates is problematic. Visual inaccurate, and more exact methodologies are cumbersome and/or expensive. Our goal this study was to assess the accuracy a technology based on analysis digital images newborns obtained using smartphone application called BiliCam. METHODS: Paired BiliCam total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels were diverse sample (&lt;7 days old) at 7 sites across United States. By specialized software, data color values...
Precision agriculture has the potential to deliver improved and more sustainable food production. Despite various Chinese policy initiatives strengthen national security, there is evidence that adoption of precision technologies in China been much lower when compared other developed agricultural economies. This study therefore aims explore factors determine farmers' cropping systems provide recommendations on technology promotion future. The current status by smallholder farmers within crop...
Abstract Precision agriculture (PA) technologies offer a potential solution to food security and environmental challenges but, will only be successful if adopted by farmers. Adoption in China lags behind that some developed agricultural economies despite scientifically proven benefits of PA for Chinese agriculture. is dependent on farmer attitudes perceptions towards technologies. An exploratory qualitative study using in-depth interviews was conducted with arable farmers (n = 27) explore...

Summary. Non-living soil organic matter is a small but critical component of soils contributing to structure, fertility and range other chemical, physical biological functions. Although considerable work has contributed our knowledge its distribution, chemical mineral associations turnover, there still little information on which fractions or pools non-living are implicated in various functions what extent. This review paper summarises some known about the chemistry, turnover measurement...
