The process of designing, building, and validating a cell stretching platform and using this device to study the effect of mechanical stimulation on different cell types requires the development of several skills, which formed the basis of the learning outcomes required for the successful completion of the project. Through participating in this project, undergraduate students […]

The liberalization of marijuana laws has been a worldwide momentum in recent years
What was an illegal behavior not so long ago, became a legal behavior for some approximately twenty-two years ago, and is now a legal behavior for all in some states and countries. With that said, although for some individuals marijuana use may be purely medical or purely recreational, for many, medical and recreational use of […]
A handful of pickers return to their respective farm each year
In particular, I observe the weigh-in time, the berry picker’s unique employee identifier, the field where the berries were picked, and the weight of the picker’s harvest. I divide the harvest’s weight by the time elapsed since the picker’s previous weigh-in to obtain a weight-per-hour measure of worker productivity. For the first weigh-in of the […]
Motives of use account for approximately 18% of the variance in symptoms of anxiety
We hypothesized that: a) motives that promote positive experiences would not be associated with symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety, or overall psychological distress; b) motives for avoidance of negative experiences would be associated with higher levels of symptoms of depression and symptoms of anxiety, or overall psychological distress; c) motives focused on medicinal use […]
Flyers were posted throughout the treatment facility to recruit study candidates
Participants were recruited to the study upon entry to the residential treatment program. Inclusion criteria were MA dependence, English proficiency, age 18 to either 45 years for men or 55 years for women , and the ability to attend exercise or health education sessions. Individuals were excluded if they exhibited medical impairment that compromised their […]
The revision will be implemented in steps and could facilitate the field based production of PMPs
The system can be integrated with the cloning of large candidate libraries, allowing a throughput of >1,000 samples per week, and protein is produced 3 days after infiltration. The translatability of cell pack data to intact plants was successfully demonstrated for three mAbs and several other proteins, including a toxin . Therefore, cell packs allow […]
These were specifically indicated and later excluded from analysis
Because high rates of cocaine and methamphetamine use have been noted among younger heart failure patients and heart failure due to stimulant use may have a reversible component, targeted preventive and treatment efforts for young patients with drug use disorder may reduce the burden of heart failure. There is a paucity of literature investigating tobacco […]
Greater impairments among HIV+ females is also evident in the context substance-dependence
There may be several explanations for this discrepancy between expected and observed results. While in vitro studies predict potent immune suppression, they examine isolated cells in an artificial culture condition that may not reflect the more complex interactions that occur during antigen-presentation in vivo. The concentrations of THC and exposure periods that are studied in vitro and […]
Removing the two women from our PSU analyses did not significantly change any of our results
We accounted for the multiplicity of measures by correcting alpha levels via a modified Bonferroni procedure . This approach considers the mean correlation between variables and the number of tests in the adjustment of alpha levels. All alpha levels were adjusted for both traditional neurocognitive assessment and BIS-11 and their average inter-correlation coefficients in primary and secondary […]
Raycasting from the eye position was initially used to enable object selection in the direction of gaze
The participants were free to move around and interact with various objects within the VR environment using 2 hand-held Vive controllers. Surveys assessing depressed mood and anxiety were presented at the start of the paradigm and additional surveys assessing subjective craving and scene relevance were presented between scenes within the headset. A VAS survey was chosen as the in-task measurement […]
