Progress in soybean ( max L.) breeding has led to a reduction in optimal seeding rates due to enhanced branching capacity over time. However, less is known about the changes in canopy architecture between old and modern soybean genotypes at varying row spacing and their impact on yield and seed quality through the main stem and branches.

Retention strategies are difficult to implement locally and to specifically target the population at risk of migrating. We hypothesize that medical students who are teaching assistants have greater intentions to migrate to practice Medicine abroad.

These mechanisms may overlap in a given patient illustrating the difficulties for appropriate management. Assessment of myocardial ischemia can be performed using noninvasive and invasive tools.

The problem mimics the movement of enantiomers in a capillary electrophoresis experiment. As is well known, the signal in the capillary must be sharp enough to make a good determination of the effective mobility of the analytes being analyzed.

Apart from drug repurposing in cancer treatments, cardiovascular pharmacology is another attractive field for this approach. Patients with angina pectoris without obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) report refractory angina despite standard medications in up to 40% of cases.
