EFFECT VARIATION OF TEMPERATURE AND STIRRING SPEED ON THE BENDING TEST OF FIBERGLASS FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIALS USING THE VACUUM ASSISTED RESIN INFUSION (VARI) METHOD by Ferry Setiawan, Faras Bimo Sakti, Dhimas Wicaksono

“…The impact on bending strength is due to the presence of voids, which are gas or air trapped within the specimen structure. This is evidenced by micrographic analysis and density measurements, where the 28°C variation had the lowest density of 2.01 gr/cm3, while the 35°C and 50°C variations had the same density of 2.41 gr/cm3.…”

Regional variation in primary care improvement strategies and policy: case studies that consider qualitative contextual data for performance measurement in three Canadian provinces by John L Campbell, Catherine Scott, Fred Burge, Sabrina T Wong, Ruth Martin-Misener, Sharon Johnston, Stephanie Blackman, William Hogg, Anne M Grool, Sara Wuite

“…NVivo (V.11) was used to manage data and perform content analysis to identify categories within and across cases. The coding structure was developed by researchers through iterative collaboration, using inductive and deductive processes.Results Six overarching primary care improvement strategies, differing in focus and spread, were implemented across the three study regions: interprofessional team-based approaches, provider skill mix expansion, physician groups and networks, information systems, remuneration and performance measurement and reporting infrastructure.Conclusion The addition of information on regional improvement strategies to primary care performance reports could add important contextual insights into primary care performance results. …”

Evapotranspiration Partitioning of the <i>Populus euphratica</i> Forest Ecosystem in the Drylands of Northwestern China by Qi Zhang, Qi Feng, Yonghong Su, Cuo Jian

“…This study demonstrated that the underlying water use efficiency (uWUE) method effectively partitions ET into vegetation T and soil evaporation (E). Seasonal variations in ET and T were predominantly driven by temperature (Ta), radiation (Rn), soil moisture, and leaf area index (LAI). …”

Phylogenetic and evolutionary insights from 30 newly-assembled Onygenales Mitochondrial Genomes: co-evolution of introns and HEGs shapes mitogenome size variation by Héctor Antônio Assunção Romão, Thalison Rodrigues Moreira, Leonardo Carlos Jeronimo Corvalán, Amanda Alves de Melo-Ximenes, Alexandre Melo Bailão, Clayton Luiz Borges, Renata de Oliveira Dias, Rhewter Nunes

“…We tested two evolutionary hypotheses: (1) that structural features of mitochondrial genomes are phylogenetically conserved and (2) that introns and homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) have co-evolved and contributed to genome size variation. …”
