e-Banking Adoption: An Opportunity for Customer Value Co-creation.

The development of information and communication technologies offers innovative opportunities to establish business strategies focused on customer value co-creation. This situation is especially notable in the banking industry. e-Banking activities can support competitive advantages.

The complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes of the invasive marine red alga (Caulacanthaceae, Rhodophyta) from Moss Landing, California, USA.

is an invasive red alga that forms extensive mats in sheltered marine habitats around the world. To determine its genomic structure and genetic relationship to native and other non-native populations of , high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed on an introduced specimen from Bennett Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA. Assembly of 23,146,595 filtered 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequencing reads yielded its complete mitogenome (GenBank accession MT193839) and plastid genome (GenBank accession MT193838).

Comparative study of acute and short-term triiodothyronine treatments on the contractile activity of isolated rat thoracic aortas.

We aimed to characterize the participation of rapid non-genomic and delayed non-genomic/genomic or genomic mechanisms in vasoactive effects to triiodothyronine (T3), emphasizing functional analysis of the involvement of these mechanisms in the genesis of nitric oxide (NO) of endothelial or muscular origin. Influences of and T3 treatments on contractile and relaxant responsiveness of isolated rat aortas were studied. T3-treatment was 500 μg·kg·d, subcutaneous injection, for 1 (T3) and 3 (T3) days.

[URISCAM project: Multicenter evaluation of the UF-Series cytometer in the urinary tract infections screening].

Objective: Urine culture, the gold standard to confirm the presence of urinary tract infection (UTI), is the most requested assay in the microbiology department. Our objective was to determine the diagnostic yield of the UF-Series cytometer as a screening method for UTI.

Methods: All the urine samples sent to the six Microbiology Laboratories participating in a period of 5 working days were analyzed.

Sysmex UF-1000i flow cytometer to screen urinary tract infections: the URISCAM multicentre study.

Unlabelled: The new Sysmex UF-1000i analyzer - which incorporates bacteria morphology distinction - allows to automatically screen samples to be cultured at microbiology laboratories. We have evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of Sysmex UF-1000i to screen urinary tract infections (UTIs). A total amount of 2468 urine samples from six Spanish hospitals were analysed.
