We examined differences in positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) among 275 African American and 343 Caucasian caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease from the National Institutes of Health Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Care Health (REACH) study sites in Birmingham, Memphis, and Philadelphia. African Americans reported higher scores on PAC than did Caucasians. African Americans' ...

Several practical inductive logic programming systems eeciently learn \determinate" clauses of constant depth. Recently it has been shown that while nonrecursive constant-depth determi-nate clauses are pac-learnable, most of the obvious syntactic generalizations of this language are not pac-learnable. In this paper we introduce a new restriction on logic programs called \locality", and present ...

A palmeira Veitchia merrillii (Becc) H. E. Moore popularmente conhecida como de manila, é uma espécie cultivada no Brasil e vem desenvolvendo potencial paisagístico, devido suas características intrínsecas. Uma opção para produção mudas com qualidade redução custos o uso substratos alternativos. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se avaliar desenvolvimento na formação da em diferentes proporções a base c...

We prove that for almost all 2 G(Q) e the eld ~ Q() has the following property: For each absolutely irreducible aane variety V of dimension r and each dominating separable rational map ': V ! A r there exists a point a 2 V (~ Q()) such that '(a) 2 Z r. We then say that ~ Q() is PAC over Z. This is a stronger property then being PAC. Indeed we show that beside the elds ~ Q() other elds which are...

There is a growing health policy mandate for comprehensive monitoring of functional outcomes across post-acute care (PAC) settings. This article presents an empirical comparison of four functional outcome instruments used in PAC with respect to their content, breadth of coverage, and measurement precision. Results illustrate limitations in the range of content, breadth of coverage, and measurem...

This research aims to examine the efficiency of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) remove a reactive red 195 dye and find optimal condition coagulate this dye. In present investigation, effect pH (3-9) PAC dosages (500-5,000 mg/L) were studied 1,000 mg/L using jar test. The results showed that variations influenced PAC. With increase dosage, 500- 1,500 5,000 highest percentage colour removal in acidi...

Thiamin (vitamin B1), a member of the water-soluble family of vitamins, is essential for normal cellular functions; its deficiency results in oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Pancreatic acinar cells (PAC) obtain thiamin from the circulation using a specific carrier-mediated process mediated by both thiamin transporters -1 and -2 (THTR-1 and THTR-2; encoded by the SLC19A2 and SLC1...

From the report by Connors and coworkers in 1996 until now, much effort has been directed at demonstrating the safety and/or effectiveness of strategies based on pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) data. Although studies have failed to demonstrate a clear benefit of PAC use, neither have any corroborated the initial report of PAC-induced mortality. With this in mind, it is important to clarify the ...

PURPOSE To evaluate ocular biometric parameters and darkroom prone provocative test (DPPT) in family members of primary angle closure (PAC) glaucoma (PACG) patients and to establish any correlation between these biometric parameters and the DPPT response. METHODS Seventy-four family members of PACG patients underwent ultrasound ocular biometry, slit lamp biomicroscopy, Goldmann applanation to...

Novel vesicles that accumulate large amounts of proprotein precursors of storage proteins were purified from maturing pumpkin seeds. These vesicles were designated precursor-accumulating (PAC) vesicles and had diameters of 200 to 400 nm. They contained an electron-dense core of storage proteins surrounded by an electron-translucent layer, and some vesicles also contained small vesicle-like stru...
