“…Management strategies to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes have therefore often focused on increasing habitat complexity; however, the large-scale, long-term ecological experiments that are needed to test the effects of these strategies are rare in tropical systems. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)…”

Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Whether or not monomeric S1 shedding has an effect on the vaccine antibody response or could be implicated in the observed rare side effects, remains to be investigated but evidence from other studies implicates this occurrence as detrimental in animal models.…”

Brownian dynamics simulation of soft matter with hydrodynamics: methods for constrained systems and shear processing of 2D materials by Funkenbusch, William Tian

“…We use the conformational and rotational properties of the sheet simulations to explain this behavior, demonstrating a new explanation for the non-monotonic rheological properties of 2D materials which does not involve sheet-sheet interactions (which are rare in dilute suspensions) or thermal energy (which is often small in sheet systems). …”

Understanding the role of Enterococcus faecalis in polymicrobial wounds by Davient, Bala

“…However, given that human chronic wounds have an alkaline pH, and almost all E. faecalis-positive chronic wounds are polymicrobial, it is unclear why co-detection of E. faecalis and S. aureus in such polymicrobial chronic wounds is rare. Given the experimental findings in this dissertation, where I demonstrated the multimodal mechanism of E. faecalis-mediated antagonism of S. aureus, I predict that E. faecalis can antagonize S. aureus in chronic wounds through pH-independent mechanisms. …”

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Butler, AR, McRobbie, H, Bullen, C, Hajek, P, Wu, AD, Begh, R, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, NA, Turner, T, Livingstone-Banks, J, Morris, T, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…The rate of occurrence of AEs is probably similar between groups (moderate‐certainty evidence (limited by imprecision)) (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.17; I2 = 0%; 5 studies, 2052 participants). SAEs were rare, and there is insufficient evidence to determine whether rates differ between groups due to very serious imprecision (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.60; I2 = 32%; 6 studies, 2761 participants; low‐certainty evidence). …”
