TL;DR: There was a shorter time required to reach urine specific gravity and pH targets with the rapid hydration protocol compared to the standard hydration Protocol, which translated into initiating chemotherapy sooner and in the first dose of chemotherapy being administered earlier when more staff are available, which could reduce errors due to change in hospital personnel.
Abstract: BackgroundThe Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) has implemented a rapid hydration protocol that may reduce the time required to achieve urine specific gravity and pH targets prior to ch...

TL;DR: The authors found that tariff reductions from the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) generated substantial productivity gains in Canadian manufacturing using a comprehensive panel data set of 81 manufacturing industries over the 1983-1996 period.
Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that tariff reductions from the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) generated substantial productivity gains in Canadian manufacturing. Using a comprehensive panel data set of 81 manufacturing industries over the 1983-1996 period, we shed new light on two potential sources of these productivity gains: increased firm size and increased firm turnover. Our empirical results confirm previous empirical findings that increased firm size was not a source of the FTA-induced productivity gains, contrary to the predictions of early theoretical models. However, we find support for the hypothesis that tariff reductions affected productivity growth through its effect on firm turnover. Our empirical results show that the FTA tariff reductions had a positive and significant effect on the exit rate of manufacturing firms. The estimated impact of the tariff cuts was an increase in the exit rate of 0.7 to 2.0 percentage points for the most affected industries over the 1988-1996 period. Supplementing this finding with recent research showing that exiting firms tend to be less productive than those that survive, this provides support for recent trade models asserting that increased exposure to international trade induces the exit of least efficient firms, thereby contributing to productivity growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of tariffs on R&D expenditures when there are R&DI spillovers between firms was studied. And the authors considered a three-stage game, where the government determines the amount of the tariff and R&DS subsidy in the first stage, firms choose their R&Ds expenditures in the second stage, and outputs are determined in the third stage based on Cournot competition.
Abstract: This paper studies the effect of tariffs on R&D expenditures when there are R&D spillovers between firms. We consider a three-stage game, where the government determines the amount of the tariff and R&D subsidy in the first stage, firms choose their R&D expenditures in the second stage, and outputs are determined in the third stage based on Cournot competition. We show that if the foreign government gives an R&D subsidy to the foreign firm, foreign R&D will increase and the domestic firm’s profit and domestic welfare will decrease. The home country can recover this profit and welfare loss, partially or totally, if it uses two policy instruments simultaneously: a tariff and an R&D subsidy.

TL;DR: Three aminocarb formulations were applied separately to the surface of a stream at 2.40 g a.i./min for 5 minutes and residues disappeared rapidly from all three matrices and could not be detected after a period of 3-25 h.
Abstract: Three aminocarb formulations, water‐based Matacil® 180F, oil‐based Matacil® 180F and oil‐based Matacil® 180D, were applied separately to the surface of a stream at 2.40 g a.i./min for 5 minutes. The highest aminocarb concentration in the top 1 cm of water was found 5 min after application of oil‐based 180F (5000 ppb). The next highest concentration was 1862 ppb found in the top 1 cm layer of water 3 min after application of oil‐based 180D, followed by 1306 ppb found 5 min after application of water‐based 180F. Residue accumulations were first observed in sediment at 3 min and in fish tissues 0.5 h after application. The levels of accumulation were in the order of water‐based 180F > oil‐based 180F > oil‐based 180‐D. After the application of water‐based 180F, the highest concentrations were 20.2 ppb in sediment after 5 min and 127 ppb in fish tissues after 3 h. Residues disappeared rapidly from all three matrices and could not be detected after a period of 3–25 h.
