Introduction: The pad test is an assessment tool for urinary incontinence (UI) severity classification and therapeutic response monitoring. However, the reliability and reproducibility of this test have been questioned. ...

In this paper a new method for the detection of optical phase in passive homodyne interferometers, with high accuracy and wide dynamic range is presented. Unlike the traditional and more recent methods, which use between ...

PURPOSE: Acute pain occurs in over 50% of hospitalized children. The accuracy of this diagnosis has been underexplored in the literature, as has the role of training to implement pain assessment. This study analyzed the ...

A specific and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the assay of praziquantel in raw materials and tablets. It was also found that the excipients in the commercial tablet preparation ...

The objectives of this study were: (i) to assess genotype imputation accuracy in different scenarios using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) data from a population comprising two generations of farmed ...

This study was designed to test the impact of quality control, density and allele frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers on the accuracy of genomic predictions, using three traits with different ...

Background: A cost-effective strategy to explore the complete DNA sequence in animals for genetic evaluation purposes is to sequence key ancestors of a population, followed by imputation mechanisms to infer marker genotypes ...

Soil organic matter has direct relationship with soil fertility and quality. However, its estimation in laboratory generates chemical residues which can contaminate the environment, and more ecological methods to determine ...
