		HDRA will participate in the work carried out by participant 4 in examining the release of nitrogen from the addition of organic manures to soils in organic systems, and where appropriate the losses of N to the atmosphere from such applications.
		HDRA will store this information, together with collected data, from all participants, on agronomic yields, market specifications, farmgate values and relevant CAP strategies for use in WP5 where the implications on farm income and food supply of different management strategies of N supply in conventional and organic rotations will be determined.
		HDRA will be fully involved with the interpretation of the outputs from the model run in terms of identifying the most cost effective methods of reducing N pollution in organic rotations whilst maintaining maximum economic yield.

		In this study, we have correlated the HDRA assessment with survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
		The association between HDRA assessment of chemoresponse and clinical outcome remained significant even after controlling for the effects of TNM stage and the presence of recrrent cancer at presentation by multivariative analysis.
		Chemosensitivity determined by the HDRA seems to be a strong predictor of survival in patients with advanced HNSCC and should be considered further.
