Future research is strongly encouraged to add more data points

We audited the locations and point-of-sale marketing activities of RMDs in school neighborhoods and merged auditing data with school survey data on a large sample of adolescents in California. We paid particular attention to child-appealing marketing activities, which were presumably more influential to adolescents than general marketing activities. Instead of aggregating data at zip code […]

Two undergraduate engineering students were recruited initially to begin the design process

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 most common formats for these tests are the ELISA and lateral flow assay

The design and quality of the binding reagents , along with other test conditions such as sample quality, play a key role in establishing the test specificity and selectivity, which determine the proportion of false positive and false negative results. Although the recombinant protein mass needed for diagnostic testing is relatively small , the number […]

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 […]
