Single-Grain Quartz OSL Characteristics: Testing for Correlations within and between Sites in Asia, Europe and Africa

. . Hu Y, Li B, Jacobs Z. . Methods Protoc. 2019 Dec 26;3(1):2. doi: 10.3390/mps3010002. Abstract We studied the characteristics of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal of single-grain quartz from three sites in China, Italy, and Libya, including the brightness, decay curve and dose response curve (DRC) shapes, recuperation, and reproducibility. We demonstrate …

Detection of class 1 integron-associated gene cassettes and tetracycline resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from ready to eat vegetables

. . Mohamed SA, Ardiyati T, Rifa’i M, Widodo. . Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2020 May 21;55:327-331. doi: 10.1016/j.amsu.2020.04.044. 2020 Jul. Abstract BACKGROUND: Ready to eat (RTE) vegetables are easily accessible healthy foods that are commonly consumed globally, including in Indonesia. However, these RTE vegetables contain potential contamination from pathogens and multi-drug resistant bacteria. Therefore, …

The impact of innovation on environmental quality: Evidence for the non-linear relationship of patents and CO2 emissions in China

. . Li W, Elheddad M, Doytch N. . J Environ Manage. 2021 Aug 15;292:112781. doi: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112781. Epub 2021 May 28. Abstract We seek to test whether innovation, measured by the number of accepted patents improves or worsens the environment in China. We hypothesize the existence of an inverse U-shaped curve, which differs by industry …

Penalised logistic regression and dynamic prediction for discrete-time recurrent event data

. . Elgmati E, Fiaccone RL, Henderson R, Matthews JN. . Lifetime Data Anal. 2015 Oct;21(4):542-60. doi: 10.1007/s10985-015-9321-4. Epub 2015 Jan 28. Abstract We consider methods for the analysis of discrete-time recurrent event data, when interest is mainly in prediction. The Aalen additive model provides an extremely simple and effective method for the determination of …
