The Ties That Bind are Not Always Blood: The Importance of the Found Family in Queer, POC-led Narratives
Found families, or chosen families, are often formed by queer individuals who have either lost, cut off, or been ostracised by their biological family unit. The found family exists as a form of deliberate, safe space creation by those who live precarious lives — existences that are considered …

Strategy for speedy field diagnosis and control of avian influenza viruses (AIV) outbreak at the point of contact/care (POC)
… was to develop a strategy for the point-of-care (POC) detection of AI and to develop a vaccine that is not only effective in the treatment of such outbreaks, but can also be produced quickly enough to manage AI viruses before they spread and cause an outbreak. Loop-mediated isothermal …

Novel analytical strategies for tracing the organic carbon cycle in marine and riverine particles
Particulate organic carbon (POC) in the ocean and mobilized by rivers on land transfers ~0.1% of global primary productivity to the deep ocean sediments. This small fraction regulates the long-term carbon cycle by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for centuries to millennia. This thesis …

PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CONTINUITY: SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES
… that perceptions of organizational continuity (POC) have on organizational identification (OI) and organizational outcomes, including organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) and turnover intentions. It was proposed that POC would be an important factor in determining OI, OCBs, and turnover …

Low-Cost Electronic Microfluidics for Multiplexed Point-of-Care Biomarker Detection
As we have seen in recent years, point-of-care (PoC) systems are vital elements in healthcare, as they can aid in disease detection, monitoring, and treatment, and even inform public policy. However, while qualitative (yes/no) PoC sensors are abundant (i.e. pregnancy tests, rapid COVID19 tests), …

GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF RADIOCARBON ISOTOPIC ANALYSIS FOR PARTICULATE AND DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON IN RIVERINE SYSTEMS
… of particulate and dissolved organic carbon (POC, DOC) into inland waters and coastal systems and provide a fundamental linkage between the terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric carbon reservoirs. Recent studies have examined the relationship between the quantity and form (POC vs. DOC) of …

Examining the Hispanic Paradox in Post-Operative Complication Rates
… of serious post-operative complications (POC) among patients undergoing intra-abdominal general surgical procedures. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing appendectomy, cholecystectomy, or colectomy at a single healthcare system over a 12 month period. …

VOC Interference with Standard Diesel Particulate Analysis for Mine Samples: Exploring Sources and Possible Solutions
… is attributed to particulate organic carbon (POC) and elemental carbon (EC). Total carbon (TC) is the sum of POC and EC and currently used as the surrogate to represent DPM as a whole. The NIOSH Method 5040 is the standard sample collection and analysis procedure. It outlines collection of …

Applicability of SAMBA point-of care devices in real-world settings
… nucleic acid tests (NAT) based on point-of-care (POC) platforms that are appropriately adapted to resource constrained settings. Centralised testing algorithms lead to poor access to testing, long turnaround times, high loss to follow up and delayed results. Suitable POC testing platforms …

The United Nations and the protection of civilians in African conflicts
… of these tasks was the protection of civilians (POC). While much work has been done on the growth of the civilian protection agenda and the role that peacekeepers play in protecting civilians during armed conflict, these works have been descriptive narratives that lack any sort of theoretical …

A Primary Care Intervention for Management of Childhood Obesity
… We developed “A Pound of Cure” (POC), a series of modularized office visits for use by PCPs, founded on the 2007 Expert Committee Recommendations. This program was piloted and efficacy established at an urban clinic with a diverse, low-income population by clinicians experienced …

Indigestion or Thriving Metabolism? People of Color-owned Restaurants Digesting Sustainability
This study explores people of color-owned (POC) restaurants under the governance of Washington, DC (DC) who provide community programming. Since 2009 ‘sustainable’ legislative changes have affecting DC’s food industry, causing a change in operational costs and allowable materials to serve food. DC …

Effect of fertilizers and adjuvants on quizalofop, sethoxydim, and thiameturon foliar uptake and weed control
… sulfate (AS), petroleum oil concentrate (POC), and non-ionic surfactant (SURF) were evaluated as postemergence spray additives to improve giant foxtail (Setaria faberi Herrm.) and volunteer corn (Zea mays L.) control by 28 g ai/ha of the ethyl ester of quizalofop $\{({\pm})$-2- (4 …

Phytoplankton dynamics in the northeast subarctic Pacific during the 1998 El Niño, the 1999 La Niña and 2000 with special consideration to the role of coccolithophores and diatoms
… seasonality in particulate organic carbon (POC) production. During the 1998 El Niño, June was characterized by low chlorophyll and POC productivity due to nitrate depletion. In contrast, during the 1999 La Niña, and in 2000, higher POC productivity and nitrate occurred in June. During 1999, …

The development of aptamer-based probes for the detection of TB antigens ESAT-6.CFP-10 potential TB diagnostic tools
Lack of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic tools for TB hinders control of the disease, particularly in resource-limited, high HIV and TB prevalence countries. Therefore, there is a need for simple, rapid, accurate, and affordable PoC diagnostics to detect active TB early enough for opportune …
