Two compounds were discovered in the well-studied BaO-YO-SiO phase field. Two different experimental routines were used for the exploration of this system due to the differences of synthetic conditions and competition with a glass field. The first phase BaY[SiO]O was isolated through a combination of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis and diffraction techniques which guided the exploration.

This study examined lifetime TBI, current PTSD, and their associations with biomarkers of cardiometabolic health, sleep, pain, and functional disability among post-9/11 WVs. WVs ( = 90) from the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders longitudinal cohort study were included in this study.

We describe a case of a teenager who presented with tetany and undetectable vitamin D as initial presentation of Crohn's disease. There are reports of adults in tetany due to electrolyte derangements in chronic gastrointestinal diseases secondary to malabsorption.

Therefore, identifying genetic regions associated with the three traits through quantitative trait locus/loci (QTL) analysis is a crucial process in the subsequent development of marker-assisted selection for use in potato breeding programs. QTL analysis was conducted on a tetraploid mapping population consisting of 190 individuals derived from the cross between two russet-skinned parents, Palisade Russet and the breeding clone ND028673B-2Russ.
