In the area of database administration, when a hot critical problem suddenly occurs, an organization may lose large amounts of money for each hour of downtime. In such situations, the life of a database administrator (DBA) can become stressful because of the excessive pressure to solve problems quickly. Most of the DBAs often work in a fire-fighting mode and have little opportunity to be proact...

Responsive supramolecular gels were constructed from crown ether terminated four-arm star poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL-DB24C8) and dibenzylammonium-terminated two-arm PCL-DBAS (see scheme), exploiting the formation of pseudorotaxane linkages between crown ether and ammonium moieties. The resultant supramolecular gels exhibit thermo- and pH-induced reversible gel-sol transition.

Abstract Introduction Digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBTi) has been shown to be efficacious; however, treatment adherence and efficacy are suboptimal compared CBTi delivered in person. The present study evaluated whether the addition of different types coaching support (i.e., phone by a therapist trained CBTi, research assistant not virtual chatbot that simulates human dial...

O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) is a suicide protein that corrects DNA damage by alkylating agents and may also serve to activate environmental carcinogens. We expressed human wild-type and two active mutant AGTs in bacteria that lack endogenous AGT and are also defective in nucleotide excision repair, to examine the ability of the AGTs to protect Escherichia coli from DNA damage b...

Increasingly higher education institutions are expected to demonstrate their contribution academia, society, and the economy. This is pertinent for business schools as a key purpose them provide that enhances management practice, with Doctorates in Business Administration (DBAs) being highest-level qualification offered pursuit of this goal. Yet there scant research captures impact DBAs beyond ...

Background and Objective It is important to consider dysfunctional beliefs about sleep when conducting cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia. The purpose of this study was examine the reliability validity a Dysfunctional Beliefs Sleep-2 items (DBS-2) scale in general population clinical sample.Methods Our examined DBS-2 (group I, n = 374) sample subjects with insomnia disorders II, 105). An...

We extend SQL’s grant/revoke model to handle all administration of permissions in a distributed database. The key idea is to “factor” permissions into simpler decisions that can be administered separately, and for which we can devise sound inference rules. The model enables us to simplify administration via separation of concerns (between technical DBAs and domain experts), and to justify fully...

PRIMARY INSOMNIA IS A PREVALENT AND OFTEN DEBILITATING FORM OF SLEEP DIFFICULTY, TRADITIONALLY ATTRIBUTED TO SUCH SUSTAINING FACTORS as conditioned arousal at bedtime and sleep-disruptive habits.1,2,3,4 Current cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations5-7 of primary insomnia posit that rigidly held or self-defeating beliefs and attitudes about sleep also play important roles in sustaining this fo...
