OBjECTIvEs To study the effects of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Interdisciplinary Leadership Development Program (ILDP) on interprofessional attitudes, beliefs, and use of skills. ILDP is a collaboration among five campus-based U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau-funded training programs. These programs included Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related D...

The modulation by internal free [Mg 2 1 ] of spontaneous calcium release events (Ca 2 1 “sparks”) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was studied in depolarized notched frog skeletal muscle fibers using a laser scanning confocal microscope in line-scan mode ( x vs. t ). Over the range of [Mg 2 1 ] from 0.13 to 1.86 mM, decreasing the [Mg 2 1 ] induced an increase in the frequency of calcium re...

Previous analysis of data from 505 preschool children with disordered communication, falling into the a priori categories of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Developmental Language Disorder, and Nonautistic Low IQ, showed that PDD is statistically distinct from nonPDD. Current analyses of the 194 children with PDD also showed the existence of two subgroups within PDD. Children in these t...

Cereal Chern. 75(3):360-364 The entanglement molecular weights of waxy maize (WM) and normal maize (NM) starches were calculated from solution rheological data. The viscoelastic behavior of both WM and NM starches were measured at several different concentrations and then shifted to produce a master curve for each of the materials. The theory of Doi and Edwards was used to calculate the plateau...

Cereal Chern. 75(3):354-359 The solution rheological behaviors of OATRIM-1O and cooked oat bran were investigated. The rheological properties of the materials were investigated using both thixotropic loop and small-amplitude oscillatory shear experiments. The cooked oat bran exhibited shear-thinning behavior during a thixotropic loop experiment over a shear rate range of a250/sec. The shear-thi...

Autocatalytic cycles are rather common in biological systems and they might have played a major role in the transition from non-living to living systems. Several theoretical models have been proposed to address the experimentalists during the investigation of this issue and most of them describe a phase transition depending upon the level of heterogeneity of the chemical soup. Nevertheless, it ...

We are concerned with conditions under which a locally compact group G has a maximal compact normal subgroup K and whether or not G/K is a Lie group. If G has small compact normal subgroups K such that G/K is a Lie group, then G is pro-Lie. If in G there is a collection of closed normal subgroups {Ha} such that f~| Ha = e and G/Ha is a Lie group for each a, then G is a residual Lie group. We de...

Evidence concerning the relations of migration to health status and health care utilization is inconclusive. This paper outlines the theoretical positions on these relations and reviews the empirical findings supporting varying positions. The paper also presents the findings of a survey of a probability sample of the U.S. population concerning these issues. The analysis is organized around comp...

There is no overall agreement on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic enterprise, this may reflect different effects from various types of FDI. A panel data regression approach adopted to examine impact knowledge intensive FDI both new firm formation deaths enterprises. Jobs created by are found not influence births, but enterprise through deaths. Renewal activi...

(7 )-21-[4-[(Diethylamino)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy]-7-methyl19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-3-ol 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (TAS-108) is a novel steroidal antiestrogen, modulating the differential recruitment of transcriptional cofactors by liganded estrogen receptors and representing a promising agent for the treatment of breast cancer. To understand better the relationships between th...
