Scale disparity and spectral transfer in anisotropic numerical turbulence
(1996-01)No abstract available. -
When caring is not enough: Emotional labor and youth shelter workers
(1999-09)Organizations often dictate how their employees should behave through explicit rules and structures. In addition, sociologists and organizational theorists suggest that organizations invest energy, time, and money into ... -
A Deeper, More Social Ecological Social Work Practice
(University of Chicago Press, 2002-09)Although an ecological model of social work practice has been important to the profession since the 1970s, advances in ecological theory based on developments in deep ecology (Naess 1989) and social ecology (Bookchin 1980, ... -
A Reply to Geoffrey Greif
(2003-06)Replies to Geoffrey L. Greif's (2003) critique of the author's (2002) deeper ecological approach toward conducting social work. Greif's perception of Carol Meyer's & Edgar Auerswald's work as important for associating ... -

Drug Use Management and Policy Residency: A Service-Learning Application
(American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 2005)Objectives. To establish, implement, and evaluate a drug use management and policy residency program within the context of a service-learning framework. Design. Residents completed a 4-month term in which they were ... -
Exercise hemodynamic and neurohormone responses as sensitive biomarkers for diltiazem in rats
(2006-05)Purpose. To investigate the potential of exercise hemodyanamic and neurohormone variables as sensitive biomarkers for pre-clinical evaluation of diltiazem (DTZ). Methods. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided ... -
Development and validation of a sensitive and specific HPLC assay of cladribine for pharmacokinetics studies in rats
(2007)PURPOSE: To develop and validate a sensitive and specific HPLC assay for cladribine (CdA) in plasma for pharmacokinetic studies in rats. METHODS: CdA and the internal standard AZT were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chem. ... -
Structure-activity analysis of quorum-sensing signaling peptides from Streptococcus mutans
(2007-02)Streptococcus mutans secretes and utilizes a 21-amino-acid signaling peptide pheromone to initiate quorum sensing for genetic competence, biofilm formation, stress responses, and bacteriocin production. In this study, we ... -
The relationship between type of drug therapy and blood glucose self-monitoring test strips claimed by beneficiaries of the Seniors' Pharmacare Program in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2008)BACKGROUND: The healthcare expenditure on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) test strips under the Nova Scotia Seniors' Pharmacare Program (NSSPP) has increased significantly in recent years. The objective of this ... -
Lipophilic sugar nucleotide synthesis by structure-based design of nucleotidylyltransferase substrates
(2008-02)Structure-based design of alkyl sugar-1-phosphates provides an efficient nucleotidylyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of a series of new lipophilic sugar nucleotides possessing long or branched alkyl chains, thereby ... -
Universal intermittent properties of particle trajectories in highly turbulent flows
(2008-06)We present a collection of eight data sets from state-of-the-art experiments and numerical simulations on turbulent velocity statistics along particle trajectories obtained in different flows with Reynolds numbers in ... -
Horizontal Semicircular Canal Occlusion in a Patient with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
(2008-06)The article presents a case study of a 39 year old man who presented to physicians with vertigo and nausea. A discussion of diagnostic testing which was conducted on the patient and resulted in him receiving a diagnosis ... -
Explaining the hip adduction moment variability during gait: Implications for hip abductor strengthening
(Elsevier, 2009)Background There is emerging interest in hip abductor function during gait and its potential relationship to knee joint pathology. During gait, the hip abductor muscles are primarily responsible for generating moments of ... -
Expression, distribution and regulation of sex steroid hormone receptors in mouse heart
(S. Karger AG, Basel, 2009)The effects of sex hormones on the heart are dependent on the presence and distribution of sex steroid hormone receptors (SSHR) in cardiac tissue. This study used subcellular fractionation, Western blot analysis and ... -
Antimicrobial Activities of Jadomycin B and Structurally Related Analogues
(2009-03)Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products from Streptomyces venezuelae ... -
The interpretation of abdominal wall muscle recruitment strategies change when the electrocardiogram (ECG) is removed from the electromyogram (EMG)
(Elsevier, 2009-04)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ECG artifact on low-level trunk muscle activation amplitudes and assess the effectiveness of two methods used to remove the ECG. Simulations were performed and ... -
Activation amplitude patterns do not change for back muscles but are altered for abdominal muscles between dominant and non-dominant hands during one-handed lifts
(SpringerLink, 2009-05)It is assumed when lifting with the dominant hand that the relationship between contralateral and ipsilateral trunk muscle responses are similar to when lifting with the non-dominant hand. The purpose of this study was to ... -
Co-activation differences in lower limb muscles between asymptomatic controls and those with varying degrees of knee osteoarthritis during walking
(2009-06)Abstract: Background: Increased muscle co-activation during gait has been identified as a neuromuscular alteration associated with knee osteoarthritis, however levels of co-activation among different osteoarthritis severity ...
