Bioassays show promise as a complementary approach to chemical analysis to assess the efficacy of wastewater treatment processes as they can detect the mixture effects of all bioactive chemicals in a sample.We investigated the treatment efficacy of ten Australian wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) covering 42% of the national population over seven
Day and night use of habitats by northern pintails during winter in a primary rice-growing region of Iberia.
Loss of natural wetlands is a global phenomenon that has severe consequences for waterbird populations and their associated ecosystem services.Although agroecosystems can reduce the impact of natural habitat loss, drivers of use of such artificial habitats by waterbirds remain poorly understood.Using the cosmopolitan northern pintail Anas acuta as
Potential role of CSF cytokine profiles in discriminating infectious from non-infectious CNS disorders.
Current laboratory testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) does not consistently discriminate between different central nervous system (CNS) disease states.Rapidly distinguishing CNS infections from other brain and spinal cord disorders that share a similar clinical presentation is LIQUID MULTI critical.New approaches focusing on aspects of disease bi
