Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Second, field experiments were performed in three Massachusetts, USA seagrass meadows to relate spatial patterns in hydrodynamics with spatial patterns in sediment organic carbon. Lower velocities were expected to reduce sediment mobility and thus enhance the deposition and retention of sediment carbon. …”

Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…However, there was no difference between cannabinoid and active treatment alternatives (most using dated single-agent regimens) for any outcomes. A recent phase II/III trial demonstrated superior efficacy of THC:CBD for secondary prevention of CINV when used as adjunctive therapy alongside modern antiemetic regimens, albeit mostly without olanzapine. …”

Mathematical modelling of subglacial drainage and erosion by Ng, FSL

“…In this thesis, we substantiate these developments by exploring a detailed model where the channel is underlain by subglacial till and the flow supports a sediment load. Attention is given to the physics of bed processes and its effect on channel morphology. …”

Advancing the chemotherapy of tuberculous meningitis: a consensus view by Wasserman, S, Donovan, J, Kestelyn, E, Watson, JA, Aarnoutse, RE, Barnacle, JR, Boulware, DR, Chow, FC, Cresswell, FV, Davis, AG, Dooley, KE, Figaji, AA, Gibb, DM, Huynh, J, Imran, D, Marais, S, Meya, DB, Misra, UK, Modi, M, Raberahona, M, Ganiem, AR, Rohlwink, UK, Ruslami, R, Seddon, JA, Skolimowska, KH, Solomons, RS, Stek, CJ, Thuong, NTT, van Crevel, R, Whitaker, C, Thwaites, GE, Wilkinson, RJ

Injection effects on settling velocity by Le, Duc Anh

“…Settling is a process by which particulates that experience forces fall to the bottom of a liquid and form sediment at the vessel base. The terminal velocity or settling velocity of particle is an important parameter in sediment transport. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

The impact of evolving SARS-CoV-2 mutations and variants on COVID-19 vaccines by McLean, Gary R., Kamil, Jeremy, Lee, Benhur, Moore, Penny, Schulz, Thomas F., Muik, Alexander, Sahin, Ugur, Tureci, Ozlem, Pather, Shanti

“…Although data on the effectiveness of the primary regimen against omicron (B.1.1.529) are limited, booster programs using mRNA vaccines have been shown to restore protection against infection and symptomatic disease (regardless of the vaccine used for the primary regimen) and maintain high effectiveness against hospitalization. …”

EN06 computational environmental hydraulics : pre-treatment filter modeling by Krishnan Moorthi, Pavithra

“…The headloss values have been plotted against time to analyze the impact of incorporating a particle size distribution on the time taken to reach the maximum headloss values and the trend of head loss progression in the filter. Sediment deposition profiles have also been generated to evaluate how the sediment deposition in the filter changes with a changing particle size distribution. …”

Determining targets for antiretroviral drug concentrations: a causal framework illustrated with pediatric efavirenz data from the CHAPAS-3 trial by Schomaker, M, Denti, P, Bienczak, A, Burger, D, Díaz, I, Gibb, DM, Walker, AS, McIlleron, H

“…<p><strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Determining a therapeutic window for maintaining antiretroviral drug concentrations within an appropriate range is required for identifying effective dosing regimens. The limits of this window are typically calculated using predictive models. …”
