Hedonic valuation of land protection methods: implications for cluster development. by Kling, Robert

“…The key findings of the study are: (i) proximity to national or state park land and to city or county open space has a significant positive impact on property values, while proximity to national forest land or to privately conserved land exhibits no significant effects; and, (ii) inclusion of a property within a cluster development decreases its value by 17 to 26 %. …”

LDL-C Targets in Secondary Prevention: How Low Should We Go? by Karim Bayoumy (3496688)

“…The concern for adverse effects with very low LDL-C levels is not backed by the literature, and side effects appear to be medication-specific. There still remains a question of the cost-effectiveness of some non-statin therapies particularly PCSK9 inhibitors, in spite of recent price decreases, and whether the benefit is worth the cost.…”

Protein and pH-dependent Binding of Nascent Pectin and Glucuronarabinoxylan to Xylogucan in Pea by Rizk, Sandra

“… Nascent pectin and glucuronoarabinoxylan, synthesised in vitro by membrane-bound enzymes from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls, were found to bind to pea xyloglucan in a pH-dependent manner. The binding was maximum at low pH (3–4), and decreased to almost zero at pH 6. …”

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …”
