Semi-quantitative chemometric models for characterization of mixtures of sugars using infrared spectral data.

Sugars (saccharides) are sweet-tasting carbohydrates that are abundant in foods and play very important roles in living organisms, particularly as sources and stores of energy, and as structural elements in cellular membranes. They are desirable therapeutic targets, as they participate in multiple metabolic processes as fundamental elements. However, the physicochemical characterization of sugars is a challenging task, mostly due to the structural similarity shared by the large diversity of compounds of this family.

Negative or positive left or right? The influence of attribute label position on IAT effects in picture-word IATs and word IATs.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is a widely used measure of implicit attitudes. Despite its application in various fields, the malleability of the IAT by different methodological factors has been shown frequently. In this article, we focus on two factors that potentially influence the IAT effect, but which have received either inconsistent or no support so far: the IAT version (i.

[Triage of patients and remote consultations in primary care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic in France (PRICOV-19 study)].

Introduction: PRICOV-19 is a European cross-sectional study based on an online questionnaire, describing the impact of the pandemic on primary care structures (PCS). In France, PCS are solo practices (SP), single or multi-professional group practices (GP), coordinated practice structures (CPS): health houses and health centers. Triage, whether it is digital (TD), by telephone (TT) or at the reception (TR), is essential to reduce the risk of infection, and is part of recommended organizational practices.

DNA Barcode library of the endemic-rich avifauna of the oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea.

Background: The BioSTP: DNA Barcoding of endemic birds from oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea dataset contains records of 155 bird specimens belonging to 56 species in 23 families, representing over 80% of the diversity of the breeding landbird community. All specimens were collected on Príncipe, São Tomé and Annobón Islands between 2002 and 2021 and morphologically identified to species or subspecies level by qualified ornithologists. The dataset includes all endemic species and 3/4 of the extant endemic subspecies of the islands.
