Abstract:
Relative contributions of changes in base cations and acid anions to alkalinity decreases during spring snowmelt in 1984–86 were analyzed for 15 headwater streams and lake outflows in three central Ontario catchments. During episodes, concentration changes in ions which contributed to alkalinity decreases were partially offset by smaller changes in other ions which contributed to alkalinity increases. The major contributor to alkalinity depressions was base cation dilution by snowmelt water. Akalinity depressions were more likely to be dominated by SO42− increases in streams that were more aci

Researchers continually identify gender dysphoria as a significant mental health concern for many transgender individuals. Physical and mental health providers use the existing medical model to conceptualize and design treatment for gender dysphoria. This means that gender dysphoria is currently viewed and treated as an internal concern isolated to the individual. Researchers have also identified that external factors, such as discrimination and societal prejudice, have a significantly negative impact on the health of transgender individuals.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one contributor to death in the United States and worldwide. Lipid risk markers for CVD include high serum concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), lipoprotein (a), and triglycerides, as well as low serum concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Additional factors to assess CVD risk include apolipoprotein A (associated with HDL) and apolipoprotein B (associated with LDL). A suggested dietary strategy to decrease these risk factors is to replace a portion of saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids – especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). One PUFA, in particular, is the essential omega-6 PUFA linoleic acid, which has been demonstrated to affect these CVD risk markers. Therefore, this chapter will discuss the effects of linoleic acid consumption on lipid risk markers for CVD in healthy individuals, the associated mechanisms, and dietary recommendations to decrease CVD risk.

Abstract:
Venous thrombosis, which mainly manifests as deep vein thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism, is a major contributor to global disease burden. With a recurrence rate of approximately 25% in 5 years, and a 30-day case fatality rate of 5–10%, identification of predisposing factors for venous thrombosis is imperative. Dozens of risk factors for first venous thrombosis are known today, which can be grouped into three categories: first venous thrombosis ‘provoked by a transient risk factor’, ‘provoked by a persistent risk factor’, or ‘unprovoked’. This chapter comments on how risk factors known today can be classified into these categories, how this classification determines recurrence risk, and how knowledge on predisposing risk factors should be interpreted and integrated for optimal clinical use. The chapter proposes that predisposing factors for venous thrombosis are not the same for each high-risk situation. This is important to consider when one wants to identify high-risk groups in, for example, cancer patients, surgical patients, in patients with a medical illness, or in patients at risk for recurrent venous thrombosis. This way it will be possible to expose only those patients at unacceptably high risk of thrombosis to the risks and burden of anticoagulant treatment. In conclusion, the knowledge on predisposing factors for venous thrombosis is extensive, but the patient will benefit most when this knowledge is properly integrated, depending on the clinical situation.

Abstract:
This chapter reassesses the process of how store customers become loyal to their stores; what are the core subprocesses generating customer store loyalty, and what contributing moderators enrich the final outcome. A new empirical research is designed to identify and test a parsimonious model of core relationships and moderators. The result is an explanation chain that incorporates relational variables, trust, and commitment to the traditional transactional one, customer satisfaction, and the moderating factors of the relational variables. The findings reveal that 1) customer commitment is the major contributor of explanation to true customer loyalty, significantly more than the contributed explanation of customer satisfaction, and 2) four cognitive attitudes and four affective attitudes significantly moderate the relational effects of trust and commitment on customer store loyalty and, thus, contribute, though in small amounts, to a stronger explanation.

The importance of sleep is increasingly recognized as a contributor to health outcomes across the lifespan. Almost two thirds of the population report sleep problems at least twice per week, resulting in daytime sleepiness and dysfunction.

All health care providers need to understand how to facilitate restful high quality sleep, a necessary component for health and well-being.

Since the past two decades the concept of women entrepreneurship has gained recognition as a significant contributor towards the economic growth of the country. This can be attributed to the many encouraging factors like family support, flexibility in work family schedule, encouraging policies etc. Nevertheless, there also exist certain barriers that hinder their path of progress. In the context of globalization today, women entrepreneurs across nations are also engaged in identifying opportunities for further growth. In this pursuit they face a number of challenges amidst the opportunities. The chapter intends to make a contribution to the topic of women entrepreneurship by examining what initiates entrepreneurship among individuals, comparison between male and female entrepreneurs, factors that encourage women entrepreneurs as well as those that inhibit their growth and on ways to overcome the challenges they face.

Abstract:
Medical science has made revolutionary changes in the past decades. Contemporaneously however, healthcare has made incremental changes at best. The growing discrepancy between the revolutionary changes in medicine and the minimal changes in healthcare processes is leading to inefficient and ineffective healthcare deliver and one if not the significant contributor to the exponentially increasing costs plaguing healthcare globally. Healthcare organizations can respond to these challenges by focusing on three key solution strategies (or the value propostion); namely, 1. access - caring for anyone, anytime, anywhere; 2. quality – offering world class care and establishing integrated information repositories; and 3. value – providing effective and efficient healthcare delivery. These three components are interconnected such that they continually impact on the other and all are necessary to meet the key challenges facing healthcare organizations today. The application of mobile commerce to healthcare; namely, m-health appears to offer a way for healthcare delivery to revolutionize itself. However, little if anything has been written regarding how to achieve excellence in m-health. This chapter serves to address this major void by presenting an integrative framework for achieving m-health, developed through the analysis of longitudinal applied research conducted by INET in conjunction with academe. After presenting this framework and discussing its key inputs we then illustrate how the mapping of case data to the model enable the attainment of a successful m-health application to ensue and the benefits of adopting such a methodology.

One of the contributing factors to noise for a single pair of meshing gears has been shown to be the transmission error. The transmission error (TE) is defined in terms of deviation of the speed ratio from the ideal speed ratio. It has since been hypothesized that the composite transmission error in a planetary system would be the key contributor to noise in automatic transmissions. This composite error would have to include the contributions from individual meshes and account for the conf

Abstract:
One of the many design challenges in offshore industry is the fatigue life estimation of risers due to the loading that is generated by vortex induced vibration (VIV). In deep waters, where the long risers are subjected to sever VIV-induced stresses and may encounter multi-modal vibration, the VIV-induced stresses could be the most significant contributor to the overall damage of the structure. The variable amplitude nature of the stress-time history often creates significant errors in the estimated fatigue life of the structure. The irregularities in the loading scenario could also create a c

Abstract:
Deformation machining is a combination of thin structure machining and single point incremental forming. It enables the creation of thin monolithic structures with complex geometries in one setup, employing conventional manufacturing techniques. Elastic spring back is a major contributor to dimensional inaccuracy of the thin formed structures. Correct prediction of elastic spring back and its compensation is of utmost importance for the overall quality of the formed components. In the present work, an experimental study on elastic spring back in deformation machining bending mode components ha

The arrival of Internet has turned the world into a global village where geographical location or distance has to some extent ceased to be a major obstacle to communication and movement of goods and services. This development has also brought with it cybercrime and its level of sophistication. A lot of measures and institutions are being put in place to minimize the incidence of cybercrime in different countries; also, efforts are being made to identify the contributing factors to cybercrime. This research however, adopts a factor analytic approach to formulate the indices that may contribute

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal diseases and injuries are a major burden on society, representing the most common cause of pain and impaired function worldwide. Composite injuries involving bone and the surrounding soft tissue comprise one of the most challenging musculoskeletal conditions to return to normal function. During repair of these injuries there is a loss of the synergistic interactions between adjacent tissues resulting in impaired bone regeneration. Additionally, local soft tissue ischemia may also be a contributing factor to increased infection rates observed in severe composite tissue injuries.

Abstract:
This note considers the role that demography as a discipline can play in addressing some of the key questions in the context of human wellbeing and sustainable development. Starting with the wellbeing function of sustainability science that tries to explain an indicator of human wellbeing as being determined by a set of capitals and explanatory factors, it gives an example of how the constituents of such a wellbeing indicator can be combined based on a demographic approach. It also highlights how a broadened view of demographic methodology that goes beyond the conventional focus on age and sex

Abstract:
This report describes a methodology for demand estimate through the improvement of load distribution factors in reinforced concrete flat-slab and T-beam bridges. The proposed distribution factors are supported on three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element (FE) analysis tools. The Conventional Load Rating (CLR) method currently in use by INDOT relies on a two-dimensional (2D) analysis based on beam theory. This approach may overestimate bridge demand as the result of neglecting the presence of parapets and sidewalks present in these bridges. The 3D behavior of a bridge and its response could be bett

Abstract:
Shocks and stresses from natural disasters, climate change, economic volatility, armed conflicts and political instability could hinder expansion efforts by smallholder farms (SHFs). The application of the resilience concept as a mitigator of the impacts of such shocks on land expansion by farmers is an important developmental challenge. In this paper, we hypothesise that the resilience capacity of SHFs mitigate the adverse effects of conflict shocks and examine how assets, off-farm income, access to social safety nets, and education level of the household lead contribute to household-level re
