Evaluating and modeling variation in site-level maximum carrying capacity of mixed-species forest stands in the Acadian Region of northeastern North America by Aaron R. Weiskittel, Christian Kuehne

“…Overall, we con-clude that i) variation in SDIMAX appears to be mostly driven by the softwood to hardwood ratio of the mixed species,structurally complex stands evaluated in our study and ii) the general approach offers a viable framework for estimating sitemaximum carrying capacity at a regional-scale and effectively managing stand density accordingly.…”

Revisiting systematic geographical variations in tonsils surgery in children in the Spanish National Health System: spatiotemporal ecological study on hospital administrative data by Salvador Peiró, Manuel Ridao, Enrique Bernal-Delgado, Julian Librero, Ester Angulo-Pueyo, Natalia Martínez-Lizaga, Eusebio Castaño-Riera, Micaela Comendeiro-Maaløe

“…Objective To provide new evidence on how tonsils surgery in children has geographically varied over time in the context of the Spanish National Health System.Design Observational ecological spatiotemporal study on geographical variations in medical practice, using linked administrative datasets, including virtually all surgeries performed from 2003 to 2015.Setting The Spanish National Health System, a quasi-federal structure with 17 autonomous communities (ACs), and 203 healthcare areas (HCAs).Participants Patients aged 19 and younger residing in the HCAs and ACs.Interventions Tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy (T&A); and tonsillectomies alone (T).Main endpoints (1) Evolution of T&A and T rates; (2) spatiotemporal variation in the risk of receiving T&A or T surgery at regional level (ACs) and HCAs; and (3) the fraction of the variation (FV) attributed to each of the components of variation—ACs, HCAs, year and interaction ACs year.Results T&A age-sex standardised rates increased over the period of analysis from 15.2 to 20.9 (5.7 points per 10 000 inhabitants). …”

Alcelaphine Herpesvirus-1 (Malignant Catarrhal Fever Virus) in Wildebeest Placenta: Genetic Variation of ORF50 and A9.5 Alleles. by Felix Lankester, Ahmed Lugelo, Nicholas Mnyambwa, Ahab Ndabigaye, Julius Keyyu, Rudovick Kazwala, Dawn M Grant, Valerie Relf, David M Haig, Sarah Cleaveland, George C Russell

“…In contrast, while only three new A9.5 alleles were discovered, these differed by up to 13% at the nucleotide level and up to 20% at the amino acid level. Structural homology searching performed with the additional A9.5 sequences determined in this study adds power to recent analysis identifying the four-helix bundle cytokine interleukin-4 (IL4) as the major homologue. …”
