Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) could potentially help in the measurement and monitoring of noise levels, an important step in mitigating and fighting noise pollution.
We appreciate Dr. Hsien-Hui Chung for kind help in the measurement of blood pressures and Miss Pei-Lin Chou for research assistance of experiment of blotting.
This study differs from the previous ones by using a reference plane set on a three-dimensional image, which is considered to help reduce errors in measurement over time.
Such knowledge also helps in crafting measurement programs for epidemiological studies designed to probe potential associations between exposure to these compounds and adverse health effects.
The authors thank Merja Helanterä, Chhayal Gandhi, Arja Kiema, and Ulla Vornamo for skilled technical assistance, Dominik Mojzita for constructing pTeHg, Brian Firliet for protein concentration measurements by HPLC, and Annatjie Hugo help in sugar concentration measurements by HPLC.
Owing to accumulating evidence that reporting on harms-related data in RCTs was of poor quality with an imbalanced ratio of benefit harms reporting, a CONSORT statement extension was developed in 2004 to improve harms reporting (CONSORT-harms) and to help address perceived shortcomings in measurement, analysis and reporting of harms data.
We thank Daniela Nichino and Amanda Penco for help in the AFM measurements.
Dr. Francesco Milano and Dr. Massimo Trotta are gratefully acknowledged for help in ATR-FTIR measurements and liposome preparations.
We thank Fernando Corrêa for the help in the fluorescence measurements, Izaura Nobuko Toma and Paolo di Mascio for MALDI-TOF MS analyses, Izaura Yoshico Hirata for Edman degradation analyses, Ângela Mika Katsuyama for the clone for expression of HrpB2, and Marcos C. Alegria for helpful discussions.
The authors are grateful to Michele Baldasso for his help in the phenological measurements in 2005 and to the Company Alasia Franco Vivai for the management of CV and SAV plantation sites.
