Climate change impacts and the reshaping of Canadian viticulture
No full textShifting climate patterns across wine-growing areas of Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Quebec are driving the development of new viticultural potential within established Canadian wine regions. Changing trends of critical climatic variables and indices, such as near-surface temperature (NST) and growing degree days, indicate that growing conditions are changing. This research assesses NST and seasonal precipitation trends from 1994 to 2100 for Canadian viticulture, focusing on the primary established growing regions. Using multi-model CMIP6 spatial-temporal averages from the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 dataset available on Google Earth Engine, this research aims to understand future NST and seasonal precipitation trends with climate scenarios SSP245 and SSP585 and discuss possible effects on viticulture on a near-term (2015–2050) and long-term (2050–2100) basis. Minimum, average, and maximum NST trends demonstrated statistically significant increases across all regions, with similar inc..

Plasma levels of coenzyme Q10, vitamin E and lipids in uremic patients on conservative therapy and hemodialysis treatment: Some possible biochemical and clinical implications
No full textCoenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)), vitamin E, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDLC) and triglycerides were measured in the plasma of 62 patients with kidney failure, 46 under hemodialysis treatment and 16 under conservative therapy, and 95 controls. The sum of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and VLDL-cholesterol (VLDL-C) was also calculated for each patient. The ratio CoQ(10)/LDL-C+VLDL-C in both conservative therapy and hemodialysis populations was significantly lower (P<0.001) compared with normal controls and remained unchanged after the dialysis treatment. On the contrary the ratio vitamin E/LDL-C+VLDL-C was normal but decreased significantly (P<0.02) after each dialysis. Since coenzyme Q is the main inhibitor of the prooxidant action of vitamin E, it was hypothesized that its decrease in both the populations examined could make the lipoproteins of these patients more vulnerable to a peroxidative attack

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
