Cationic conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) varying in length and structural features are compared with respect to their association with E. coli and their effect on cell surface charge as determined by zeta potential measurements. Regardless of structural features, at high staining concentrations COEs with longer molecular dimensions associate less, but neutralize the negative surface charge ...

Over the past 15 years, the North Carolina Community College System has provided education and instruction to 258,713 allied health professionals, 183,059 nurse aides, 27,125 associate-degree nurses, and 9,926 practical nurses. Innovations that can increase program retention will have a positive impact on the state's future health care workforce.

We present a technique to associate to stochastic programs written in stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming a semantics in terms of a lattice of hybrid automata. The aim of this construction is to provide a framework to approximate the stochastic behavior by a mixed discrete/continuous dynamics with a variable degree of discreteness.

Some multiplicity results for solutions of an impulsive boundary value problem are obtained under the condition of non-well-ordered upper and lower solutions. The main ideas of this paper are to associate a Leray-Schauder degree with the lower or upper solution.

Currently, approximately 16% of associate degree nursing (ADN) graduates acquire baccalaureate or higher degrees. Human capital analysis demonstrated negative to minimal average returns on investment (ROI) in BSN education. Increasing the ROI may influence ADNs to pursue baccalaureate education and can be an effective strategy for meeting the projected need for BSN-prepared nurses.

Here, we report the first X-ray crystal structure of a tetrathiafulvalene-fused dehydroannulene with peripheral ethylthio substituents. In addition, we have subjected this compound to electrochemical and UV-Vis-NIR/ESR spectroelectrochemical studies to elucidate the degree to which the oxidised species associate.

Aims/Objectives They contain two lesions: anomaly and stenosis. They may associate with other congenital lesions especially pulmonary artery sling. Tracheal stenosis is the main factor causing airway obstruction. Depend on the degree of tracheal stenosis, clinical manifestation ranges from having some episodes of stridor to severe respiratory failure and death. Reconstruction surgery is the met...

Let G be a group, and $${{\,\mathrm{Sol}\,}}(G)=\{x \in : \langle x,y \rangle \text { is solvable for all } y G\}$$ . We associate graph $$\mathcal {NS}_G$$ (called the non-solvable of G) with whose vertex set $$G \setminus {{\,\mathrm{Sol}\,}}(G)$$ two distinct vertices are adjacent if they generate subgroup. In this paper, we study many properties particular, obtain results on degree, cardina...
