We examined nest site selection by Puerto Rican Parrots, a secondary cavity nester, at several spatial 173rd airborne brigade patch scales using the nest entrance as the central focal point relative to 20 habitat and spatial variables.The Puerto Rican Parrot is unique in that, since 2001, all known nesting in the wild has occurred in artificial cav
Abstract B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a transmembrane glycoprotein member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 17 (TNFRSF17), highly expressed on the plasma cells of Multiple myeloma (MM) patients, as well as the normal population.BCMA is used as a biomarker for MM.Two members of the TNF superfamily proteins, including B-cell acti
Qualitative Longitudinal Research (QLR) is a dynamic and evolving methodology using time as a lens to inform study design, data collection and analysis.A key feature of QLR is the collection of data on more than one occasion, often described as waves or time points.Thus, researchers embarking on designing a new study need to consider several key te
This work investigates the microstructure and corrosion characteristics of an Inconel 625 weld cladding deposited by the electroslag welding (ESW) process with a single layer on an ASTM A516 Gr.70 steel plate with a heat input of 11.7 kJ/mm.Microhardness testing, metallographic examination and corrosion tests were performed on samples removed at 1
