Recent NIH policy stipulates that multi-site studies must use a single or IRB (Institutional Review Board) in order to streamline the review process while maintaining standards for human subjects protection.The Western States Node of the Clinical Trials Network (CTN) used a single IRB for protocol CTN-0067, a clinical trial testing the use of an op
Placental responses to maternal perturbations are complex and remain poorly understood.Altered maternal environment during pregnancy such as hypoxia, stress, obesity, diabetes, toxins, altered nutrition, inflammation, and reduced utero-placental blood flow may influence fetal development, which can predispose to diseases later in life.The placenta
Pot experiments were conducted to study the variation and physiological regulation of transpiration efficiency (TE) of four winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties that are widely grown Collections in different ecological regions in North China.Plants were grown under two soil moisture regimes, normal and drought stress.The results showed tha
Abstract We study the 3-point functions of gauge-invariant scalar operators in four dimensional N $$ mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal quiver theories using supersymmetric localization in 90s Low Slung Short the planar limit of a large number of colors.By exploiting a web of nontrivial relations, we show that the 3-point functions can be expressed i
One of the main design challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is achieving a high-data-rate transmission for individual sensor devices.The high altitude platform (HAP) is an important communication relay platform for WSNs and next-generation wireless networks.Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques provide the diversity and multiple
