Nitric oxide in airway inflammation
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a non-invasive method of investigating airway inflammation associated with nitric oxide (NO) and the metabolites nitrite/nitrates (NOx) in diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but some of the variables affecting the results are unknown. …

Assessment of a methodology for determination of H[2]O[2] concentration and pH in exhaled breath condensate in horses with and without lower airway inflammation
… and pH in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is useful for detection and monitoring of diseases of the lower respiratory tract in humans, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In contrast, limited information on the use of these parameters for the investigation of …

Cross-validation of new oral reading fluency criteria based on empirical data from Icelandic elmentary students
… The new criteria were empirical based criteria (EBC). Data were provided by The Directorate of Education in Iceland. The data consisted of scores from reading fluency tests that are part of an assessment tool from the Directorate, Lesferill. Lesferill uses words read correctly per minute (WCPM) …

N[Epsilon]-(Carboxymethyl)Lysin und 3-Nitrotyrosin im Atemkondensat von Patienten mit chronischem Nierenversagen
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is the exhaled water steam with dissolved substances, which are set free from the airway lining fluid in small droplets. EBC can be collected and analysed by cooling down the exhaled air and collecting the condensate. Oxidative stress is the imbalance of increased …

Impacts of Executive Compensation on Employee Wages
… the impact of CEO equity-based compensation (EBC) on employee wages. Using pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) as a measure for CEO equity-based compensation, we find that CEOs with higher EBC tend to pay their employees lower wages. We also examine the impact of EBC on average employee wage in …

Nature and origin of black carbon in Ireland
… was used to determine the equivalent BC (eBC) concentrations at four locations in Ireland; Killarney, Enniscorthy, Birr and Dublin. The aethalometer data were combined with other measurements and meteorological parameters to determine the sources of the particles observed at the monitoring …

Detection of hydrogen peroxide and ethanol in exhaled breath using biosensors: Considerations in standardizing breath collection
… EB to obtaining the exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Each has its advantages and disadvantages but they are both affected by different sampling conditions. Additionally, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nonvolatile organic compounds (non-VOCs) in the breath matrix are retained differently …

Analytical methods to investigate occupational exposure to toxic elements and their species
… thesis also evaluates exhaled breath condensate (EBC) for its potential as a new biological matrix for biological monitoring of chromium and RCS. The analytical technique used for arsenic speciation, chromium speciation and single particle analysis of RCS was inductively couple plasma – mass …

Evaluating Chemical Crosslinking as a Tool for Enhancing DNA Damage Repair Interactome Analysis
… end joining (NHEJ). An End-Bridging Complex (EBC) comprised of elements from both end resection and NHEJ may be the first complex recruited to DSB sites and play a key role in repair pathway selection. The protein composition of the EBC or how it structurally supports repair pathway choice is …

An investigation of the integrity of two components of the cerebellar neurocircuitry involved in classical eyeblink conditioning in children prenatally exposed to alcohol: a magnetic resonance spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging study
Impairment in classical eyeblink conditioning (EBC) has previously been reported in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) (Jacobson et al., 2008). The deep cerebellar nuclei and cerebellar cortex are critical elements of the cerebellar-brainstem circuitry that mediates EBC (Green et …

Degradation and Failure Analysis of Environmental Barrier Coatings under Adverse Operating Environment: Multi-Physics Modelling
Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are essential for protecting ceramic matrix composite (CMC) substrates in advanced gas turbines and aero-engines. However, their durability is limited by thermo-mechanical stresses, oxidation, and water-vapor-induced degradation under high-temperature operating …

Evaluating e-business models for the UK and Malaysian companies.
… e-business literature, an E-Business Capability (EBC) framework is developed. A questionnaire is designed and data from 143 UK and 208 Malaysian firms is collected to empirically test the model using structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. More specifically, a set of twenty empirical models …
