Abstract Objective We attempted to conduct a randomized controlled trial of three different informed consent training formats to evaluate their effectiveness.We recruited 503 clinical research professionals, who received $50 for participation.Incidental findings showed unexpectedly low rates of compliance with completing the study training protocol
Recently, there has been a growing focus on sustainability issues within the financial sector.However, quantitative analysis of social and governance aspects has been challenging Lipstick due to difficulties in data modelling.With the recent regulatory updates for standardised disclosure, the next step could be the implementation of stress tests, g
Service life is often used by state transportation agencies to evaluate alternative flexible pavement designs.The design that keeps the pavement in acceptable condition longest before it needs another maintenance treatment is the preferred design.For a given rehabilitation design, this study evaluates the pavement service life using AASHTO 1972 pav
Surging and streaming of glaciers are modulated by meltwater availability and pressure which controls mechanical coupling at their beds.Using laboratory-scale experimental modelling and palaeoglaciological mapping, we explore how subglacial drainage landsystems control meltwater drainage efficiency and ice flow velocities for terrestrial-based ice
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is one of the primary diseases caused by Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection.The virally-encoded Tax protein is believed to initiate early events in the development of this disease, as it is able to promote immortalization of T-cells and transformation of other cell types.These processes may be aided by
