Multiple Myeloma and Its Treatment Alter Peripheral Nervous System Structure and Function
… patients underwent quantitative sensory testing (QST), which is a non-invasive battery of tests that provides information about the function of discrete sensory fiber types. Patients exhibited a high incidence (>80%) of one or more subclinical QST deficits, including mechanical stimulation, fine …

Quantitative spatial transcriptomics of the developing brain
… to derive ‘Quantitative Spatial Transcriptomics (QST)’ for the spatiotemporal characterisation of gene expression across the developing mammalian forebrain. My thesis research has focused in two main areas: 1) Novel methodology for insights into mammalian cortex architecture: I have co-developed …

Designed Synthesis of Halogenated Borazine-Linked Polymers and Their Applications in Gas Storage and Separation
… and zero-coverage isosteric heat of adsorption, Qst, (7.06-7.65 kJ/mol) as calculated by the virial method. The uptakes and heats of adsorption for carbon dioxide (51-141 mg/g at 273 K with Qst: 22.2-31.7 kJ/mol) are also attractive. BLPs do not, however, appear to exhibit significant methane …

Control of anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides s.l.) on mango in Senegal by fungicides and biofungicides
… southern trials, Sonata (Bacillus pumilus strain QST 2808), Serenade Optimum (Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713), and sodium molybdate provided 63%, 67% and 76% control of disease severity, respectively, whereas thiophanate methyl and azoxystrobin provided 77% and 78% control, respectively. Disease …

Shoulder pain after stroke: prevalence, contributing factors and consequences in daily life
… using the Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) method. No significant difference in QST measurements were found between the groups with and without PSSP, but both stroke groups had generally higher thermal thresholds and more extreme low or high mechanical thresholds than the healthy …

Quantitative sensory testing for evaluation chronic arthritis or local anesthesia
… this study, we use quantitative sensory testing (QST) as a validated measure to assess local and global changes in sensory function in JIA patients. [TRUNCATED]

Genetic Constraints and the Evolution of Chemical Defenses in Multiple Tissues of Boechera stricta
… within approximately 5,000 generations. An Fst-Qst analysis reveals that some differences in glucosinolate profile between were driven by selection.</p>

Queue predictions at temporary work zones: modification and testing of an existing spreadsheet
… maximum queue length (MQL) and queue start time (QST). Minimizing the prediction error in MQL is the main criterion for comparing the accuracy of the three OkDOT model versions, though QST was also considered. Based on the analysis and evaluation, the strong conclusion is that the current tool …

Extending the annular in-plane torsional shear test specimen to applications at high strain rates
… were performed on a quasi-static torsional (QST) system that was designed to be integrated onto a Zwick universal testing machine. Dynamic tests were performed on a modified torsional split Hopkinson bar (TSHB) system. The TSHB system adopted a nested configuration which allowed for a longer …

Partitioning of multivariate phenotypes using regression trees reveals complex patterns of adaptation to climate across the range of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa)
… and significant population differentiation (QST > 0.3) suggested adaptive divergence. When climate variables were taken as predictors and the 12 traits as response variables in a multivariate regression tree analysis, aridity (Eref) explained the most variation, with subsequent splits …

Plasticidad fenotípica y diferenciación genética inter- e intrapoblacional en Quercus Suber l.: evaluación mediante caracteres fisiológicos y marcadores moleculares
… humedad. La diferenciación genética poblacional (QST) en altura, Nm, SLA y tamaño de la hoja fue mayor que la observada con caracteres moleculares obtenidos mediante seis microsatélites nucleares (FST) indicando que la divergencia poblacional en estos caracteres es probablemente debida a presiones …

Beautiful but lacking diversity : population genetics of Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttallii Audobon ex Torr. & A. Gray)
… the precursor for adaptation, a comparison of QST (0.088 for first-year height and 0.113 for bud burst timing) with a refined FST estimate (0.053), indicated that C. nuttallii had either retained or recovered significant phenotypic variation for differential selection to act. Such uniformly low …

Investigation of Bacillus subtilis as a Biopesticide Against Botrytis cinerea
… (concentrated <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> strain QST 713). Both laboratory tests as well as <em>in vivo</em> lab tests were conducted. BiOWiSH<sup>TM</sup>-Aqua results varied widely from plate to plate, regardless of experimental conditions. In some of these plates, inhibition zones were observed …

Design, synthesis and analysis of Isoreticular, 2-Periodic, Co(II)/(Mn(II) mixed- and Zn(II) single-ligand metal-organic frameworks for sorption of energy- and environmentally-relevant molecules
… with two-step adsorption isotherms and higher Qst values (up to 31.8 kJ mol-1), reflecting greater framework flexibility. Water vapor sorption studies emphasised the stronger interaction of Cu-based MOFs with unsaturated Cu(II) metal sites. These findings underscore the potential of Zn-based …
