SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR UNMEASURED CONFOUNDING IN COARSE STRUCTURAL NESTED MEAN MODELS
STATISTICA SINICA, 28(4), 1703–1723.
author keywords: Censoring; confounding by indication; estimating equations; HIV/AIDS research; non-ignorable; sequential randomization
TL;DR:

Diazotrophs and N-2-Fixation Associated With Particles in Coastal Estuarine Waters
FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 9.
author keywords: diazotrophs; nitrogen fixation; marine particles; nifH; estuary
TL;DR:
It is indicated that resuspension of sediment material can elevate pelagic N2-fixation, and it is shown that diverse natural diazotrophs can colonize artificial surfaces, but colonization by “pioneer” bacterioplankton that more rapidly associate with surfaces appears to be a prerequisite.
