In a national online survey, 1,020 participants reported their perceptions of water use for household activities. When asked for the most effective strategy they could implement to conserve water in their lives, or what other Americans could do, most participants mentioned curtailment (e.g., taking shorter showers, turning off the water while brushing teeth) rather than efficiency improvements ...

The compression produced by and the resistance to pullout of the 6.5 mm cannulated Herbert screw were compared with those of ASIF headed screws. The latter were tested with and without washers and in the following sizes: 4.5 mm cortical, 6.5 mm cancellous with a 16 mm threaded segment, and 6.5 mm cancellous with a 32 mm threaded segment. Polyurethane foam was used as a substitute for cancellous...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate aspects of the functional distance hypothesis, which predicts that tasks regulated by brain networks in closer anatomic proximity will interfere more with each other than tasks controlled by spatially distant regions. Speech, verbal fluency, and manual motor tasks were examined to ascertain whether right-handed activity would interfere more with sp...

Recently, the use of ortho-phthalaldehyde(OPA)has been increasing as an alternative to glutaraldehyde(GA)for endoscope disinfection.

Several in vitro invasion assays have been developed so that the invasiveness of cells can be measured. These assays are also used to monitor the altered cell response to stimuli or inhibitors, such as ...
