Objective Measuring the success of molecularly guided therapies is a major challenge in precision oncology trials.A commonly used endpoint is an Trucks:Shelf Trucks intra-patient progression-free survival (PFS) ratio, defined as the PFS interval associated with molecularly guided therapy (PFS2) divided by the PFS interval associated with the last p
Modelling and stationary distribution of a stochastic citrus greening epidemic model with resistance
Citrus greening disease (also known as Huanglongbing (HLB)) is an insect-borne disease worldwide, and it is the greatest threat to the global citrus industry, with no resistant commercial citrus varieties and no curable chemicals.In this paper, a stochastic SEII-SI compartmental model for the spread of HLB between its vector (psyllids) and host (ci
Ethylene represses the promoting influence of cytokinin on cell division and expansion of cotyledons in etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings
The plant hormones ethylene and cytokinin influence many processes; sometimes they act cooperatively, other times antagonistically.To study their antagonistic interaction, we used the cotyledons of etiolated, intact seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana.We focused on cell division and expansion, because both processes are quantified readily in paraderm
In search of work/life balance: trainee perspectives on part-time obstetrics and gynaecology specialist training
Abstract Background Part-time training (PTT) is accessed by approximately 10% of Australian obstetrics and gynaecology trainees, a small but increasing minority which Bakeware reflects the growing demand for improved work/life balance amongst the Australian medical workforce.This survey reports the attitudes and experiences of both full-time and pa
Motivational Fluctuations during Task-Supported Language Teaching: The Case of Young Iranian EFL Learners
Tasks have been given an ever-increasing attention on the part of researchers in the recent decades, particularly in relation to second language acquisition research.A highly influential factor in task performance, motivation, seems to have been neglected by educational researchers, and this negligence toward the role of motivation gets more promin
