Abstract:

Ceramics are distinguished from metals and polymers by their inorganic nature and lack of metallic properties. They can be highly crystalline to amorphous, and their physical and chemical properties can vary widely. Ceramics can, for instance, be made to resemble the mineral phase in bone and are therefore an excellent substitute for damaged hard tissue. They can also be made porous, surface active, chemically inert, mechanically strong, optically transparent or biologically resorbable, and all these properties are of interest in the development of new materials intended for a wide variety of

Abstract:

Ovarian carcinoma is one of the most leading causes of cancer death among all gynaecologic malignancies worldwide. Although there are advances in cancer treatment for the last decades, the curative rate of this disease is just modestly improved. Chemoresistance is the major obstacle in clinical management of ovarian cancer nowadays. Thus, it is an urgent need for exploring effective alternative therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer patients with advanced or recurrent disease. Emerging evidence has suggested that targeting cancer cell metabolism is the most promising molecular therapeutic a

Abstract:

This research was completed to deal with many unanswered questions regarding drug use, specifically drug use in areas of rural poverty. Look at any "Faces of Meth" billboard or listen to any corporate-news program and one might assume there is a drug epidemic in rural areas. Without research, this allows the viewer to assume that poverty is the fault of the drug user who happens to live in rural places. This study sought to take a qualitative and ethnographic methodology to "embed" the researcher in this setting to see for himself whether these views were valid or invalid. The questions of fun

Section 1- Literature review Young adults in drug treatment have predominantly been heroin users, many with mental health problems. (1) Young adulthood is a distinct developmental period. It encompasses transisitons to adulthood that are now more difficult to negotiate than in the past and may be disrupted by dependent heroin use; (2) Mental health problems are common amongst those in drug treatment but few studies report separate young adult results; (3) Models including the use of drugs to regulate uncomfortable mood states are reviewed as possible explanations for the relationship between s

Abstract:

Medication non-compliance has become one of the most prevalent reasons for hospitalization and doctor's visits by the elderly. As the elderly population is more likely to have decreased cognitive abilities, it is suggested that neuropsychological factors, especially executive function, are more influential in medication non-compliance than once thought. This study looked at executive function performance on a traditional battery of neuropsychological tests, self-report of perceived ability to perform executive function tasks, and the newly developed Pillbox Test, a performance based IADL measu

Prévios estudos em ratos demonstraram que o IDV, um potente IP capaz de provocar uma sustentada supressão da carga viral do HIV, induz vasoconstricção renal, diminui a filtração glomerular (RFG) e reduz a excreção urinária de nitrito (NO2-), sugerindo que a vasoconstricção causada pelo IDV deve ser mediada pelo ó

Plusieurs évolutions sont constatées dans la recherche en biologie. Tout d’abord, les études menées reposent souvent sur des approches expérimentales quantitatives. L’analyse et l’interprétation des résultats requièrent l’utilisation de l’informatique et des statistiques. Également, en complément des études centrées sur des objets biologiques isolés, les technologies expérimentales haut débit permettent l’étude des systèmes (caractérisation des composants du système ainsi que des interactions entre ces composants).

Abstract:

The aim of the dissertation thesis is the control of the tube bundle on the cyclic fatigue caused by the flow past tube bundle. Fatigue due to flow is caused by flow-induced vibrations. Examined vibrations are caused by the mutual interaction of two phases (solid and liquid). The present work is focused mainly on the interaction of tube bundles with fluid. The current level of knowledge in this field allows to predict mainly static respectively quazi-static loading. These predictions are based on methods of comparing key vibration variables such as frequencies, amplitudes or speeds (see TEMA [

However, some studies have indicated that family functions might serve as the moderator between peer drug use and adolescent drug use. As to the results of the relationships among peer drug use, family functions and drug reuse were inconsistent. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of peer drug use and family functions on the drug reuse, and whether family conflict serves as a moderator between peer drug use to drug reuse.

Abstract:

The prevalence of crack use among illicit drug users has dramatically increased in Canada over the past decade. The sharing of crack pipes and other crack use paraphernalia is common among users of crack cocaine and is associated with unique negative health harms and costs (Haydon & Fischer, 2005). This thesis explores the phenomenon of crack pipe sharing among crack users in Victoria, British Columbia. The study uses data from in-depth interviews with thirteen self-reported crack users who regularly share crack pipes. Interviews explored the experiences of participants around crack pipe shari

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by periodic episodes of worsening symptom (e.g., shortness of breath, irregular breathing, and worse coughing with increased phlegm production), also called pulmonary exacerbations. Inflammation is an important cause of reduced lung function as inflammation contributes to airflow obstruction in the small airways and lung parenchyma. Even in individuals with mild COPD, inflammation reduces lung function, accelerates decline in lung function overtime, and increases the risk for respiratory exacerbations.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Methamphetamine (MA) is a widely abused psychostimulant that has been shown to evoke an array of neurobiological abnormalities and cognitive deficits in humans and in rodent models (Marshall & O'Dell, 2012). Alterations in cognitive function after repeated drug use may lead to impaired decision-making, a lack of behavioral control, and ultimately the inability to abstain from drug use. Human studies have shown that alterations in neurobiology resulting from prolonged MA use may lead to a number of cognitive deficits, including impair
