An idealized GCM is used to investigate how the strength and meridional extent of the Hadley circulation depend on the planet radius, rotation rate, and thermal driving. Over wide parameter ranges, the strength and meridional extent of the Hadley circulation display clear scaling relations with regime transitions, which are not predicted by existing theories of axisymmetric Hadley circulations....

Species composition and habitats are changing at unprecedented rates in the world's oceans, potentially causing entire food webs to shift to structurally and functionally different regimes. Despite the severity of these regime shifts, elucidating the precise nature of their underlying processes has remained difficult. We address this challenge with a new analytic approach to detect and assess t...

Using path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) and density functional molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulation methods, we compute a coherent equation of state (EOS) of nitrogen that spans the liquid, warm dense matter (WDM), and plasma regimes. Simulations cover a wide range of densitytemperature space, 1.5 − 13.9 g cm and 10 − 10 K. In the molecular dissociation regime, we extend the pressure-temperatu...

Although competency-based education is well established in health care education, research shows that the competencies do not always match the reality of clinical workplaces. Therefore, there is a need to design feasible and evidence-based competency frameworks that fit the workplace reality. This theoretical paper outlines a competency-based framework, designed to facilitate learning, assessme...

Physical therapy through its fundamental and/or auxiliary means, aims to restore the functionality of the shoulder, responding to pathological changes caused by the algofunctional syndrome characteristic to scapulohumeral periarthritis. For those persons with scapulohumeral periarthritis occupational therapy has as a primary objective their full reintegration, integration on all levels: persona...

The "Guide to Classification of Occupational Therapy Personnel" has been developed as a resource for the American Occupational Therapy Association and for health care administrators and others requiring the services of occupational therapy personnel. The guide to common job roles of occupational therapy describes the qualifications and performance expectations of associated roles. The job roles...

OBJECTIVES The shortage of occupational therapists prompted the faculty of the program in occupational therapy at the University of Minnesota to develop a reentry (refresher) course. METHOD A questionnaire sent to all enrolled in the 2-week refresher course during a 5-year period revealed that three intended groups of therapists have benefited: those reentering practice, those considering a c...
