Platelet adhesion in arterial blood flow is mainly supported by the platelet receptor glycoprotein
(GP) Ib, which interacts with von Willebrand factor (vWF) that is bound to collagen at the …

Missing values are known to be problematic for the analysis of gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolomics data. Typically these values cover about 10%–20% of all …

The interaction between collagen, von Willebrand factor (VWF), and glycoprotein Ib is the first
step in hemostasis and thrombosis especially under high shear conditions. We studied the …

Highly monodisperse cobalt crystallites, supported on Stöber silica spheres, as model
catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis were exposed to simulated high conversion …

We estimated financial returns and wood production costs in 2008 for the primary timber
plantation species. Excluding land costs, returns for exotic plantations in almost all of South …

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is often regarded as an area where it is
difficult to stabilize democracy. This notion is reinforced by the fact that, in the most recent set of …

Mean platelet survival and turnover were simultaneously determined with autologous 111In-labeled
platelets (111In-AP) and homologous 51Cr- labeled platelets (51Cr-HP) in ten …

South Africa's transition to democracy was met by the global audience with at first, disbelief,
followed later by applause. After fifteen years of democracy big questions remain: has a …

Background Prior research in 2005 and 2008 estimated planted forest investment returns for
a set of countries and included some natural forest species in a few countries. This research …
