Innovation strategies of New Technology-Based Firms for managing crises: reconciling short-term survival and long-term success. The case of gene therapy pioneers
… When facing a crisis, NTBFs have to ensure survival in the immediate crisis environment, without compromising their long-term success and potential after the crisis. This creates a tension between the risk of investing in managing the crisis, which may drain the already constrained …

Host-parasite interactions between the cysticercoid larvae of the cestode Microsomacanthus hopkinsi and the amphipod intermediate host Hyalella azteca
… of Microsomacanthus hopkinsi and the amphipod intermediate host Hyalella azteca throughout the latter's life history. There was a significant positive relationship in oncosphere consumption, parasite loads, and short-term survival in amphipods exposed during Instars 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9. …

Evaluating metabolic rate, survival, feeding behavior and energetic demand in two genotypes of Apis mellifera
… interact to shape physiological performance, short-term survival and feeding behaviors. Physiological performance was evaluated using standard metabolic rate, maximum metabolic rate, and aerobic scope. Workers of the two genotypes were provided either low (20%) or high (40%) sucrose diet …

Factors influencing development and outcome of equine gastrointestinal disease
… is diverse, which makes accurate prediction of survival challenging. Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is common in horses and can be both a cause and associated comorbidity of colic and colic treatment. EGUS and other gastrointestinal diseases have significant implications on horse welfare …

Zur Wirkung von Vasopressin beim unkontrollierten hämorrhagischen Schock
… variables, regional organ blood flow, and short term survival in an animal model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Twenty-eight anesthetized pigs were subjected to a severe liver injury, which resulted in an average blood loss of 35 mL/kg within 30 minutes. When mean arterial pressure was …

Using a Three-Dimensional Model to Understand Age Differences in the Framing Effect
… for older adults in a flu scenario. The short-term survival information was more important to participants in the survival frame of the lung cancer scenario. Numeracy was not a significant predictor of the framing effect. Previous research has demonstrated mixed results concerning age …

Abdominal surgery in very low birth weight neonates in a developing world neonatal unit- Short term outcomes and risk factors for mortality
… to the risks and outcomes associated with preterm birth. There is an increased number of abdominal emergencies seen, attributed to improved survival in this birthweight category. Objectives To describe the short-term survival to discharge in VLBW infants following abdominal surgery at a South …

An overview of adult corrosive ingestion injuries in a sub-Saharan African setting
… details, initial investigations, management, and short-term outcomes were described using simple descriptive statistics while univariate analyses with receiver operator characteristic area under the curve (ROC AUC) were used to identify factors predictive of FT necrosis and short-term mortality on …

Extending Sample Size Calculation for the Cox Proportional Hazards Model
… proportion of patients being cured (or long-term survivors), such as trials for the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma disease. The popularly used sample size formula derived under the Cox proportional hazards (PH) model may not be proper to design a survival trial with a cure fraction, since the PH …

Ecology of Gray Partridge in North Dakota
… to identify habitats important to gray partridge survival and nesting, and to provide baseline data on partridge ecology in North Dakota. I captured and radio-tagged 100 gray partridge, mainly during winter. Individuals were tracked by a vehicle-mounted telemetry system until August of each year. …

Visual System Development in People with One Eye: Behaviour and Structural Neural Correlates
… or in enucleated monkeys and humans following short-term survival. In this dissertation, I sought to determine the long-term effects of enucleation on visual system development by examining behavioural visual abilities and visual system morphology in adults who have had one eye enucleated early …

INVESTIGATING EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS OF CHEMORESISTANCE IN OVARIAN CANCER: THE ROLE OF H3K27ME3
… of 35 EOC patients stratified based on their survival outcomes. This analysis revealed reduced H3K27me3 level in patients displaying short-term survival (< 2 years after diagnosis) and associated with an increased tumour resistance to chemotherapy, compared to Long-Term Survivors (LTS) (> 10 …

Molecular Characterization of Glioblastoma Cancer Stem Cells
… highly vascular tumors that have an overall survival time less than 14 months, and current therapies provide little improvement in the disease course and outcome. While glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients present uniform histological phenotypes, the molecular determinants of the disease …

Procedural generation of vascular networks for tissue engineering
… subject to manufacturability and cellular survival constraints. This thesis contributes a software package and associated design philosophy for generating vasculature specifically for use in tissue engineering. We first review the current manufacturing landscape and compare this to real …
