Commentators since the time of Greek dramatist Sophocles have noted that the exercise of power often produces strong psychological changes in people. As power holders, deans comprise far too few exceptions to this insight. Early in their tenure new deans are generally grateful for the confidence placed in them by their former colleagues and are eager to work together in changing “the system” to...

Titanium porous scaffolds comprising multimodal pore ranges (i.e., uni-, bi-, tri-modal and random) were studied to evaluate the effect of size on osteoblastogenesis. The manufactured using spaceholder-powder metallurgy, porosity kept independent. Their mechanical physical properties stiffness, strength, total open porosity) determined. In a first step, unimodal samples tested with mouse osteob...

The behavior of the compound [RuCl(cym)(H2biim)][BAr'4] (cym = eta6-para-isopropylmethylbenzene, Ar' = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), synthesized from [[RuCl(cym)]2(mu-Cl)2], H2biim and NaBAr'4, has been studied as a receptor of anions both in solution and in the solid state.

BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has helped to achieve several advances in the medical field, particularly as far as fabrication of implants is concerned. But the application of direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) bone plate is quite limited due to the indeterminate mechanical property. The purposes of this study were to characterize the biomechanical properties of the polished...

Abstract Background Imported malaria parasites with anti-malarial drug resistance (ADR) from Africa is a serious public health challenge in non-malarial regions, including Wuhan, China. It crucial to assess the ADR status African Plasmodium falciparum isolates imported cases, as this will provide valuable information for rational medication and control. Methods During 2017–2019, cross-sectional...

The introduction of mid-level providers to the U.S. dental workforce is currently a topic of heated debate. As little is known about the opinions of those who educate oral health professionals on the subject of such practitioners, a survey of U.S. dental school deans was undertaken to gauge their attitudes about alternative workforce models in the dental profession. The survey was sent to deans...

The primary physics goals of a high luminosity e+e− flavor factory are discussed, including the possibilities to perform detailed studies of the CKM mechanism of quark mixing, and constrain virtual Higgs and nonstandard model particle contributions to the dynamics of rare Bu,d,s decays. The large samples of D mesons and tau leptons produced at a flavor factory will result in improved sensitivit...
