A review of the literature was conducted to identify the "active ingredients" needed to produce successful Internet interventions that support older adults in self-management of chronic disease. The term "Internet intervention" was used as an umbrella term to include all online self-management programs. Thirteen articles were found to meet the inclusion criteria from the initial 204 articles id...

A system is proposed whereby Zn atoms that are photoionized by soft x rays from a laser-produced plasma undergo selective super-Coster-Kronig decay leading to inversion and lasing on several XUV Zn III transitions. Calculations indicate that lasing will occur when a moderate-sized (~10-J) 1.06-microm pump laser is used.

The molecules of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, C13H10N4O3, (I), are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of one N-H...N and three C-H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric compound 3-nitrobenzaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, (II), the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of three hydrogen bonds, one each of the N-H...N, C-H...N and C-H...O ...

A general, simple and efficient method for preparing site-specific mutations in double-stranded plasmid DNA without the need for special plasmids, bacterial strains or reagents is described. Only one synthetic oligonucleotide for each mutation is required, subcloning is unnecessary and a high efficiency of mutation (58-97%) was obtained. If two synthetic oligonucleotide primers are used, two se...

1. ABSTRACT Since 1994 the student cohort at Central Queensland University (CQU) has undergone drastic change in ability, culture and mode of attendance. This paper describes a project attempting to address the problems caused by these changes. The project has developed alternative teaching approaches and material including animations, online lectures, a Web site mirrored on CD−ROM, the use of ...

Readiness to perform emergency healthcare in an austere environment such as a disaster depends on the preparation of the individual professional nurses and team. A research program, made up of studies and products centered on individual readiness to perform nursing care in austere environments, is described in this article. Brief, easy-to-complete instruments to assess nurses’ readiness along 6...

This work focuses on how we can improve automatic evaluation based on guidelines inspection throughout the life cycle of Web applications by mapping guideline concepts to different artifacts produced during the development process. In order to support such an evaluation approach, we present a tool for automated evaluation based on guidelines reviews.

The ARID (A-T Rich Interaction Domain) is a helix-turn-helix motif-based DNA-binding domain, conserved in all eukaryotes and diagnostic of a family that includes 15 distinct human proteins with important roles in development, tissue-specific gene expression and proliferation control. The 15 human ARID family proteins can be divided into seven subfamilies based on the degree of sequence identity...

We give two applications of our earlier work[4]. We compute the p-adic cohomology of certain exponential sums on An involving a polynomial whose homogeneous component of highest degree defines a projective hypersurface with at worst weighted homogeneous isolated singularities. This study was motivated by recent work of Garćıa[9]. We also compute the p-adic cohomology of certain exponential sums...

Experimental and theoretical values for the lifetimes of the 6s6pP1 and P1 levels in the Hg isoelectronic sequence are examined in the context of a data-based isoelectronic systematization. New beam-foil measurements for lifetimes in Pb III and Bi IV are reported and included in a critical evaluation of the available database. These results are combined with ab initio theoretical calculations a...
