End-of-life care for individuals with dementia can be complicated and difficult for clinicians, families and the patient. This paper examines the current literature on end-of-life practices for individuals with dementia and discusses emerging trends to help inform clinicians about factors that influence end-of-life care for individuals with dementia. Research articles highlight nursing home car...

Data streams often onsist of multiple signals. Consider a stream of multiple signals (i; ai;j) where i's orrespond to the domain, j's index the di erent signals and ai;j 0 to the value of the jth signal at point i. We study the problem of determining the dominan e norms over the multiple signals, in parti ular the max-dominan e norm, de ned as Pimaxjfai;jg. It is used in appli ations to estimat...

Evolutionists frequently point to the development of antibiotic resistance by bacteria as a demonstration of evolutionary change. However, molecular analysis of the genetic events that lead to antibiotic resistance do not support this common assumption. Many bacteria become resistant by acquiring genes from plasmids or transposons via horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal transfer, though, does ...

This paper poses the problem of model order determination of an autoregressive (AR) pro ess within a Bayesian framework. Several original hierar hi al prior models are proposed that allow for the stability of the model to be enfor ed and a ount for a possible unknown initial state. Obtaining the posterior model order probabilities requires integration of the resulting posterior distribution, an...

Inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id-1) has been implicated in tumor angiogenesis by regulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but its molecularmechanismhasnotbeen fully understood.Here, weshow the cross talk between Id-1 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1A (HIF-1A), that Id-1 induces VEGF by enhancing the stability and activity of HIF-1A in human endothelial and breast canc...

The entropy budget of an atmosphere in radiativeonve tive equilibrium is analyzed here. The di erential heating of the atmosphere, resulting from surfa e heat uxes and tropospheri radiative ooling, orresponds to a net entropy sink. In statisti al equilibrium, this entropy sink is balan ed by the entropy produ tion due to various irreversible pro esses su h as fri tional dissipation, di usion of...

In 1925 the Carnegie Corporation granted $50,000 to Louisiana, a state then “backward in library development,” to fund a demonstration of rural public library development. Essae M. Culver, a California librarian, was chosen to direct the project. Culver arrived in Louisiana to fi nd that the entire state needed organizing. She concluded that the parish (county) was the appropriate unit upon whi...
