Technology is always changing. To succeed in this ever-evolving landscape, organizations must embrace the change and look for ways to use it to their advantage. Even standard business tasks such as creating reports are affected by the rapid pace of technology. Reports are key to organizations and their customers. Therefore, it is imperative that organizations employ current technology to provid...

The predictions of M. Oaksford and N. Chater's (1994) optimal data selection (ODS) model for the reduced array selection task (RAST) were tested in 4 experiments. Participants tested a hypothesis, ifp then q, by selecting cards showing q or not q instances. In Experiment 1, where selections were made from different sized stacks of q and not q cards, as P(q) increased, not q card selections rose...

The purpose of this study is to apply optical waveguide (OWG) spectroscopy to characterize the encapsulation behavior of enzymes modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG), i.e. pegylation, in a hydrophobic mesoporous silica film. For that purpose, pegylated myoglobin (PEG-Mb) was introduced into the silica mesopores modified with octadecylsilyl (ODS) groups and studied by OWG spectroscopy. OWG ...

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract The decrease of the concentration of ozone depleting substances (ODS) in the stratosphere over the past decade raises the question to what extent observed changes in strat...

The transgenic insertional mouse mutation Odd Sex (Ods) represents a model for the long-range regulation of Sox9. The mutation causes complete female-to-male sex reversal by inducing a male-specific expression pattern of Sox9 in XX Ods/+ embryonic gonads. We previously described an A/J strain-specific suppressor of Ods termed Odsm1(A). Here we show that phenotypic sex depends on a complex inter...

Introduction The State of Ohio, as well as the country, has experienced an increasing incidence of drug ODs over the last three decades [3]. Of the increased number of unintended drug OD deaths in 2008, 9 out of 10 were caused by medications or illicit drugs [1]. In Ohio, drug ODs surpassed MVCs as the leading cause of injury death in 2007. This trend has continued through the most current avai...

A 50-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of general malaise. Laboratory tests revealed severe hyponatremia (104 mEq/L), which was attributed to central adrenal insufficiency. To treat presumed central diabetes insipidus (CDI), we administered a small dose of hydrocortisone and gradually increased it to maintenance doses to prevent osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). Serum sodium...

In addition to urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, several other impairments of sexual function potentially occurring after radical prostatectomy (RP) have been described; as a whole, these less frequently assessed disorders are referred to as neglected side effects. In particular, orgasmic dysfunctions (ODs) have been reported in a non-negligible number of cases, with detrimental im...
