Torso deformity is often the primary complaint of a patient with scoliosis. Non-invasive detection of progression of the underlying scoliosis from torso deformity would reduce the cancer risk associated with spinal X-rays (Levy et al., 1996) and may define the 3-D scoliosis deformity more completely and with greater sensitivity to patient concerns than simply measuring the Cobb angle on a plain...

to the present day, the use of teams in organizations has increased dramatically. Organizations have and are continuing to restructure work around teams rather than individual jobs (Ilgen, 1994). In parallel, the need and demand for theoretical and empirical research on team functioning has intensified. Past reviews of the literature on small groups and teams note considerable growth in the vol...

This study evaluated the effects of abuse potential in parents on subsequent coping competence domains in their children, using a model empirically supported in a high-risk community sample by Moreland and Dumas (2007). Data from an ethnically diverse sample of 579 parents enrolled in the PACE (Parenting Our Children to Excellence) program was used to evaluate whether parental child abuse poten...

We have previously demonstrated that decreased O2 tension inhibits prostaglandin synthesis from human corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells in static culture over 8-18 h (R. B. Moreland et al., Molecular Urology 2: 41-47, 1998). In this report, an experimental system was designed that allowed determination of the effects of O2 tension changes over the time frame of physiological penile erection...
