Carbon is one of the most abundantly available elements on earth

Natalia Molina traces the relationship between public health in Los Angeles and compares the experiences of Chinese to that of Japanese and Mexican residents in the city in the period between 1879-1939.Taken together these works remind us that Chinatown was only one of the many districts that composed Los Angeles’s core in the first half …

A fundamental shift in receivership focus occurred over time in response to the environment

Prior to the receivership, the highest position within the division was a director of nursing . When the CPHCS structure was later formalized by clinical functional area, the statewide chief nurse executive developed a mirror position at the prison level with the same title to replace the DON role. As an entirely new state classified position, …

The program under review in this study was called the chronic care model program

Hierarchical organizations are generally resistant to change that threatens their power. Despite numerous federal class-action lawsuits brought against CDCR throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, a receivership that severed control of health care from the agency was required to fix the problems. In essence, this meant the bifurcation of the organization and dismantling of structure, …

Nutrigenomics is an emerging discipline that uses nutrients to modify genetic expression

Meta-analytic studies provide more fine-grained details about the cognitive benefits of exercise for the elderly and offer four kinds of good news. First, the effects can be large, reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 45% and increasing cognitive performance by 0.5 SD . Second, though women may gain more than men, everyone seems to …

Successful degraders will be tested in other cell lines known to co-express A2AR and RNF43

We demonstrate proof-of-concept that conjugation of an adenosine 2a receptor agonist to an RNF targeting antibody leads to efficient degradation of A2AR in vitro. Furthermore, we find that A2AR degradation is dependent on site of conjugation on the antibody scaffold and linker length between the small molecule and antibody. Overall, this strategy has the potential to …

Sleep hours significantly decreased for both groups compared to before the pandemic

The JD-R theory has been developed to broadly involve multiple and various job demands, job resources, and worker health outcomes, applicable to any occupation. Among nurses, evidence suggests that high psychological and physical job demands are related to the intention to quit nursing, emphasizing the relevance of the JD-R theory to this population. Additional significant …

Results of these evaluations show high baseline vegetable preferences among participating children

UC ANR internal program coordination. Additional information gathered from the questionnaire included a more in-depth description of UC ANR’s internal programs and activities. Thirteen of the 17 respondents indicated that their counties have an active Master Gardener Program, and 10 indicated that their master gardeners work with school or after-school garden programs or Farm to …

Traditional multi-spectral indices have limitations with assessing water status

Most ET estimation using UAVs is based on satellite remote sensing methods. One source energy balance , high resolution mapping of evapotranspiration, machine learning, artificial neural networks, two source energy balance , dual-temperature-difference, the surface energy balance algorithm for Land , and mapping evapotranspiration at high resolution with internalized calibration are introduced in this section. The discussed ET …

There is an exogenous SSP specific component for the livestock density

To represent this healthy U.S. diet in GLOBIOM, we performed a series of additional conversions. First, we determined the allocation of GLOBIOM items across Calculator product groups based on how commodities are currently allocated across each product group. For example, the majority of barley is used for making alcohols and the remaining 9% is consumed as cereals, and …

The type of rooting medium does not have much influence on rooting success and speed

When plant tissues cannot grow due to nitrogen limitation, they cannot incorporate or store additional carbohydrates. This lower physiological limit of tissue nitrogen content, at which no more cell division or incorporation of carbon is possible, is called the critical nitrogen content of the tissue . The CNC is expressed on a carbon basis .The CNC …
