Course Design using an Authentic Studio Model / Restructuration de cours au moyen d’un authentique modèle de studio de design

Educational Technology and Design 879 is a graduate course that introduces students to the basics of video design and production. In an attempt to improve the learning experience for students a redesign of the course was implemented for the...

Inflation impact of food prices: Case of Serbia

Food prices traditionally have an impact on inflation around the world. Movements in these prices are coming more from the supply side, then from the demand side. If treated as a supply shock, monetary policy should not react. However, food...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INCLISIRAN BY BASELINE BODY MASS INDEX: A POST HOC POOLED ANALYSIS OF THE ORION-9, ORION-10 AND ORION-11 PHASE III RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Therapeutic Area: ASCVD/CVD Risk Factors Background: Excessive bodyweight, often associated with dyslipidemia, may affect the pharmacology of drugs. Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA targeting PCSK9 hepatic mRNA, is an effective LDL-C low...

Current Epidemiology ofPneumocystisPneumonia
