Introduction: Daratumumab is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of myeloma and other related disorders. To mitigate the risk of infusion related reactions with IV Daratumumab the product monograph suggested a slow administration schedule that extends over several hours. This leads to a significant burden for the outpatients' treatment administration units and indirect costs to the patients such as time toxicity.

Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Further investigation of the whole genome of Pseudomonas sp.

If disturbances such as windstorms and floods impact gbark, they could affect tree performance during subsequent droughts. Bark traits, particularly lenticel traits, likely drive variation in gbark and may influence the effects of disturbances on gbark.

This research project aimed to create a fresh coating recipe that could effectively extend the shelf life of mangoes. The coating was composed of chitosan, glycerol, and gum Arabic mixed with the extract obtained from the extraction of Cleistocalyx operculatus plant.
