Climate change presents added risks as well as related opportunities for the insurance industry and financial sector. Implications must be evaluated for property, casualty and life insurance industry segments as well as for the financial...
Adolescents are more likely to experiment with and become addicted to drugs of abuse. A number of studies indicate that the developmental forebrain may be responsible for making adolescents vulnerable to the addictive properties of such...
Social psychology's current crisis has prompted calls for larger samples and more replications. Building on Sakaluk's (in this issue) distinction between exploration and confirmation, I argue that this shift will increase correctness of...
The initial transition to graduate school provides a critical opportunity for promoting a positive educational experience among incoming students. This study discusses the importance of this transition and then describes a novel student...
9-desoxotaxanes and process for the preparation of 9-desoxotaxanes
Description:
Process for the preparation of a derivative or analog of baccatin III or 10-desacetyl baccatin III having a C9 substituent other than keto in which the C9 keto substituent of taxol, a taxol analog, baccatin III or 10-desacetyl baccatin...
This is a book review essay, using Daniel Callahan's 2009 book, Taming the Beloved Beast: How Medical Technology Costs Are Destroying Our Health Care System, as the jumping off point. Kapp takes strong issue with Callahan's proposal...
This project updated and improved the Promoting Active Communities Award (PAC), a Web-based assessment that enables communities to scrutinize their programs, policies, and environments related to physical activity, generating ideas and...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exchange rate depreciations and appreciations on the tourism trade balance. Specifically, we employed linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration...
Fermentation of trichoderma reesei and apparatus therefor
Description:
A process for producing enzyme cellulases by the fermentation of Trichoderma reesei in an aqueous nutrient medium containing assimilable sources of cellulose, nitrogen, phosphate, magnesium and iron in the presence of an oxygen...
In two studies, we examined two functional dimensions of L2 learners’ self-regulation toward their motivational goals: assessment and locomotion. The assessment constitutes the aspect of self-regulation concerned with critically...
Most existing studies empirically investigated the impact of rail transit on housing prices using the traditional hedonic price model, which is based on ordinary least squares (OLS). This method can estimate only the average implicit...
Unanticipated declines among exploited species have commonly occurred despite harvests that appeared sustainable prior to collapse. This is particularly true in the oceans where spatial scales of management are often mismatched with...
The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is an important terminological system. By the policy of its curators, each concept of the UMLS should be assigned the most specific Semantic Types (STs) in the UMLS Semantic Network (SN). Hence, ...
Title: Journaling as a Therapeutic Intervention to Decrease Postpartum Depressive Symptoms and Stress in Mothers with an Infant in NICU: A Case StudyPrimary Investigator: Kathryn Munday, BSN, RNPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to...
