Engineering efficient desalination systems: Materials development and systems analysis in capacitive deionization
… processes worldwide, capacitive deionization (CDI) — wherein salt ions are removed from solution and stored in electric double layers — is a class of alternative electrochemical desalination technologies that can operate at energy consumption near the thermodynamic limit of separation without …

A construct validity study of the career development inventory and the attitude scale of the career maturity inventory
… to converge on the attitudinal scales of the CDI and correlated significantly with three out of the four cognitive scales of the CDI. The attitudinal scales of the CDI converged as expected. The cognitive scales of the CDI showed moderate correlations with each other with the exception of …

Capacitive deionization performance of bi-tortuous activated carbon electrodes coated with asymmetrically charged polyelectrolytes
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an electrochemical desalination technology in which porous carbon electrodes are polarized to reversibly store ions from a brackish water feed in electrical double layers in the electrodes. CDI is an attractive alternative to commonly used brackish water …

Reevaluating fecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent clostridium difficile infection
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a disease associated with the wide-spread use of antibiotics and causes 450,000 infections and almost 30,000 deaths in the United States annually. Recurrence is a major problem, with approximately 1/3rd of patients relapsing after antibiotic treatment for …

Reducing Clostridium Difficile
… identified Clostridium Difficile Infections (CDI) events by 20% by December 2015. This CNL projects focuses on reducing CDI in an 8 unit bed specifically designated for medically ill geriatric patients above 70 years old residing in the West Texas region. A majority of the geriatric patients …

Non-Target Emotional Stimuli Must Be Highly Conspicuous in Order to Break through the Attentional Blink
… but valenced critical distractor item (CDI) replaces T1. Neither target nor CDI valence manipulations fully captures the interplay between bottom-up and top-down attention in the AB. The valenced-target approach intrinsically conflates top-down and bottom-up attention. The CDI approach …

Characterization of Metronidazole- and Vancomycin-Resistant Clinical Isolates of Clostridium Difficile
… incidence of <em>C. difficile</em> infections (CDI) has been increasing at an alarming rate. This was precipitated by the emergence of strains with increased virulence, disease severity, and high recurrence rates. These strains also exhibit high propensity for resistance to antibiotics such as …

Acceptability of parent-child interaction therapy
… that African American mothers would perceive CDI as less effective for their own and other children, have more negative judgments of CDI, and be less willing to participate in CDI than would Caucasian mothers, but that these relationships would be mediated by parenting styles. It was also …

Exploiting Bacteriophages to Tackle Clostridium difficile Infection
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) currently affects around 20,000 people each year, in healthcare institutions and in the community, and will often follow disruption of the gut microbiome. Current treatment strategies call for the use of further antibiotics, of which there is a limited choice. …
