Establishing High-Resolution Hydrogeological, Geochemical and Isotopic Baseline Conditions of the Fresh Water Zone at a Field Research Site Near Brooks, Alberta, Canada
A high-resolution baseline characterization of dissolved gases in groundwater at the CMC field research site from 25.0 to 106.3 m depths was conducted. Data was collected from a continuously cored 106.3 m deep borehole, a 100.0 m deep Westbay® multi-level system and a 67.1 m deep domestic well. The …

Spectroscopic characterisation of novel materials for semiconductor device applications
… the power levels used in the processing. These studies were benchmarked by undertaking baseline studies of the plasma processing of conventional Si02 inter layer dielectric material. The chemical composition of the fluorocarbon films and the CDO layers were analysed using X-ray photoelectron …

Quantifiable MRI changes in cerebral white matter and their importance to aging, cognition, and Alzheimer's disease
… development for WMSA quantification and baseline studies of WMSA in cognitively healthy aging. The main findings of this work suggest that WMSA are distinctly different in AD than in typical aging and have a unique role in AD progression. This not only motivates the utility of WMSA in our …

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to a Headwater Valley Restoration at Slabcamp Creek, Rowan Co., Kentucky
… but there are few quantitative post-restoration studies of macroinvertebrate communities in restored streams in Kentucky. Slabcamp Creek, a first order tributary within the Licking River Basin, was recently restored to improve hydrology and degraded habitat caused by historical land use. The …

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography with Chemiluminescent Nitrogen and Sulfur Detection
… appears to be feasible as is evidenced by the baseline studies which have been performed, as well as by the applications demonstrated. The last portion of the research focused on the evaluation of a new generation sulfur chemiluminescent detector (SCLD), which is also a gas-phase detector, with …

Eco-hydro-morphodynamics and ecosystem services of near-natural river corridors
… and ecological data, monitoring, and baseline studies. Despite the scarcity and fragmentation of pertinent studies, many national and international guidelines and directives point to NNRs as reference systems for conservation, management, and restoration targets. In this framework, …

Ultrasound mediated Targeted Drug Delivery In Vitro: design, evaluation and application
… controllable research environment for in-vitro studies available prior to the investigation of the carriers, such an environment was built and characterized. <br/>Methods MCF7 and A375m human cancer cell lines were subjected to FUS using the ExAblate 2000 and 2100 systems (InSightec, Haifa, …

Associations between physical activity of older adults and built environment features in and around parks: a Belfast case study
… destinations for active travel trips. Most studies have focused on the influence of proximity and availability of parks on local population groups, with the nuanced role of different measures of accessibility being largely overlooked, particularly on more vulnerable groups such as older …

"We Were Queens": Historical Loss Among Native Hawaiians: Exploring Historical Trauma-Informed Suicide Prevention
… to suicide rates (Hishinuma et al., 2018), few studies have done so (see, for example, Andrade et al., 2006; Else et al., 2007; Yuen et al., 2000). Overall, there is a lack of connection to the complex, historical, sociostructural impacts of historical trauma on the life (and death!) of Native …

Case management for frail older people. Effects on healthcare utilisation, cost in relation to utility, and experiences of the intervention
… cohorts aged between 60 and 96 years (n=1402). Baseline data and data on number and length of hospital stays for the six subsequent years were collected. Two pairs of groups; those who were dependent/independent in activities of daily living (ADL), and those at risk/not at risk of depression. In …
