Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) diversity research programs seek to make progress in increasing the number of Party Games underrepresented students that pursue STEM at the highest degree levels.Yet few programs have outlined their path to help students achieve the STEM PhD.Our program, Opportunities in Genomics Research (OG
Latent class analysis derived subgroups of low back pain patients – do they have prognostic capacity?
Abstract Background Heterogeneity in patients with low back pain is well recognised and different approaches to subgrouping have been proposed.One statistical technique that is increasingly being used is Latent Class Analysis as it performs subgrouping based on pattern recognition with high accuracy.Previously, we developed two novel suggestions fo
Fat Stores and Antioxidant Capacity Affect Stopover Decisions in Three of Four Species of Migratory Passerines With Different Migration Strategies: An Experimental Approach
During migratory stopovers, birds must make decisions about when and where to travel and these decisions are likely contingent on their fuel stores, food availability, and antioxidant capacity as well as seasonal changes in key environmental factors.We conducted a field experiment on an offshore stopover site (Block Island, Rhode Island, United Sta
Fundamentals of lipoprotein(a) request and quantification in the clinical laboratory
Cardiovascular diseases keep being the leading cause of mortality in Spain.Efforts should be intensified to identify new risk factors that may contribute to increasing cardiovascular risk.Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) has been associated with a higher risk for developing aortic valve stenosis, heart failure, ischemic stroke, ischemic heart disease and per
Application of Monodisperse Encapsulated Phase Change Materials in Building Thermal Energy Storage
Monodisperse encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) are fabricated via microfluidic technology.To evaluate the thermoregulation ability of PCM capsules applied in building thermal energy storage, a gypsum model house with PCM capsules embedded is prepared.The temperature revolutions outside and inside the gypsum model house backpacks with diffe
