The Auditory Hallucinations Interview Guide (AHIG) is a 32-item tool that helps psychiatric-mental health (PMH) nurses assess past and current experiences of voice hearers so they can provide more individualized care. The AHIG was developed as a research tool but has also been found to be clinically useful in both inpatient and outpatient settings to help voice hearers and nurses develop a shar...

Since introduced by Peplau in the 1950’s the psychotherapeutic relationship has been a defining element of psychiatric mental health (PMH) nursing practice. While the components of the therapeutic relationship have been detailed over the decades, PMH nurses appear to be faltering in particular aspects of the relationship process. Individuals hospitalized on inpatient psychiatric units have repo...

We report a catalytically promiscuous enzyme able to efficiently promote the hydrolysis of six different substrate classes. Originally assigned as a phosphonate monoester hydrolase (PMH) this enzyme exhibits substantial second-order rate accelerations ((k(cat)/K(M))/k(w)), ranging from 10(7) to as high as 10(19), for the hydrolyses of phosphate mono-, di-, and triesters, phosphonate monoesters,...

Menopause is reported to be associated with increased urinary calcium excretion, which may enhance the risk for the development of calcium kidney stones. However, it remains controversial about whether high level of postmenopausal hormone (PMH) is a risk factor for formation of nephrolithiasis. Several observational studies have shown that PMH is protective based on 24-hour urinary parameters. ...

Currently, archival practice is moving towards the definition of complex relationships between the resources of interest as well as the constitution of compound digital objects. To this end archives can take advantage of using the Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) providing additional and flexible visualizations of archival resources. In this paper we define a formal ...

Obesity has consistently been associated with increased colorectal cancer risk in men, but not in women. In the absence of postmenopausal hormone use (PMH), adipose-derived estrogen is the primary determinant of circulating estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, perhaps ameliorating the mitogenic effects of obesity in this group. Using data from a case-control study in the United States, we e...

This paper introduces OAI static repository technology as a method by which publishers can expose their articlelevel metadata and thereby participate more fully in the wider information environment. It begins by discussing the value of exposing metadata via OAI and the potential role that static repositories might play in lowering the barriers to achieving this, and reports on the progress of a...

The Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) is an international partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a worldwide virtual library of language resources. The Dublin Core (DC) Element Set and the OAI Protocol have provided a solid foundation for the OLAC framework. However, we need more precision in community-specific aspects of resource description than is offered by DC. F...

The North Pacific marine heatwave of 2014–2016 (PMH), one the most geographically-extensive and severe heatwaves on record, resulted in widespread persistent perturbation Gulf Alaska California Current ecosystems. Negative effects PMH mammals have been observed, but are not yet well understood. endangered Steller sea lion Eumetopias jubatus is an important top predator that also particularly vu...
