Comparison of Nursing Facility Administrators, Directors of Nursing and Medical Directors Regarding Certified Nurse Practitioner Practice in Nursing Facilities
<p>Certified nurse practitioners (CNP) represent one quality, cost-effective option for primary care in nursing facilities. Determining expectations of administrators, directors of nursing, and medical directors in nursing facilities concerning CNP practice is important, since these key decision …

Administration of arginine does not alter material circulating concentration of C-type natriuretic peptide in pregnant sheep: A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) circulates at higher levels in the circulation of ewes pregnant with multiple fetuses than in those with singletons. Because parenteral administration of arginine can mitigate the nutritional constraint that occurs in multi-fetal pregnancies, it was hypothesised …

Effect of Teaching Complex Noun Phrases for Reading Comprehension Purposes in EAP Programs
Complex noun phrases (CNPs), defined as phrases where a noun is the head modified by preceding or following lexical items, are a major vehicle of written academic English. However, CNPs are typically not explicitly addressed in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs for English language …

Effect of Iron on the Oxidative Capacity of Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
… is investigated with carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNP) while mimicking simple cellular conditions. By adding environmentally representative and controlled concentrations of Fe(II) or Fe(III) to slurries of different types of CNP, their roles in inducing oxidative stress is monitored with the …

Role of KATP channels in angiogenesis
… Intriguingly, C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP), which is also known to activate KATP, has been reported to promote endothelial cell growth; however, its angiogenic properties have not been explored at any depth. This pattern prompted us to investigate whether direct KATP activation induces …

A Pre-Clinical Assessment of Minocycline For Treatment of Chronic Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
… (SCI) often develop chronic neuropathic pain (CNP). Unfortunately, the clinically approved, current standard of treatment, gabapentin, only provides temporary pain relief. This treatment can cause numerous adverse side effects that negatively affect the daily lives of SCI patients. There is a …

Fluid retention in congestive heart failure-the role of natriuretic peptides and arginine vasopressin
… peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in CHF is not fully understood. Studies were done in 300days old male normal and cardiomyopathic hamsters with moderate CHF. Their body and heart weights were measured. Blood was collected for ANF measurement. …

The acute effect of percusive therapy on postural stability and muscle activation in people with chronic ankle instability and controls
… a test power of β = - - (p=0.014) CAI NO PRE (CNP) and HEALTHY YES POST (HYPO) and between the CAI NO POST (CNPO) vs. HYPO (p=0.05). The only statistical difference (p=0.045) within CAI group was found in CNP vs. CAI YES POST (CYPO). Since there was no significant difference in the pre-tests …

Spectroscopic measurements and modeling of carbonaceous particle combustion in a shock tube
Carbonaceous nanoparticle (CNP) combustion shapes optical signatures and heat release in detonation-relevant multiphase flows, yet quantitative constraints on particle temperature, sublimation rates, reaction kinetics, and wavelength-dependent optical properties remain limited under short-duration, …

Institutional Development, Police Practice and Gender Politics in the Colombian National Police
… research, the Colombian National Police (CNP) has remained largely unstudied. The present study is a foundational analysis of the CNP. In order to explore that institution in all its complexity—from both a historical and a current, empirical perspective—several types of data and methods …

Variability in dietary quality of elementary school lunch menus with changes in National School Lunch Program nutrition standards
… while Child Nutrition Program Flexibilities (CNP Flexibilities, 2017) appear to decrease DQ. However, this variability in DQ has not been quantified. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine differences in nutrient content and DQ between elementary school lunch menus meeting recent …

Photo-Thermal Application of a Polydimethylsiloxane Foam Embedded with Carbon Nanoparticles for Interfacial Solar Water Evaporation
… devices. In this work, carbon nanoparticle (CNP) doped PDMS composite foams with an open-porous structure were fabricated via a facile salt-leaching technique to achieve excellent photo-thermal properties for solar desalination applications. The effect of different foam parameters on the …

Effects of dry needling and therapeutic exercise on sleep in individuals with chronic neck pain and sleep disturbance: A pilot randomized clinical trial
… (SD) in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). Before a large-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) is carried out to examine the effects of DN for individuals with CNP and SD, a pilot study was conducted in order to examine the feasibility of an RCT. Therefore, the purposes of this pilot …

Modulation of hippocampal sharp wave-ripple activity in vitro
… agonist nicotine and of the local neuromodulator CNP on stimulus-induced SPW-Rs in the CA3 and CA1. NE dosedependently and reversibly suppressed the generation of SPW-Rs via activation of α1 adrenoreceptors (ARs), as indicated by effects of α AR agonist phenylephrine and preserved effect of NE in …

Resolving the nature and variability of the cost-effectiveness of tourism-led coral replanting on the Great Barrier Reef
… Reef (GBR) via the Coral Nurture Program (CNP). This thesis evaluated (i) ‘operational’ costs of established activity in the Cairns-Port Douglas region and (ii) ‘implementation’ costs of new restoration activity in the Whitsundays, relative to coral outplant survivorship (realised costs), …

A study on the properties of graphene nanoribbons for electronics
… have observed that the charge neutrality point (CNP) shifts as the width of these GNRs reduces below 80nm. This is in good agreement with previous studies on the CNP shift in G-FET deices fabricated by EBL in our group. To explore the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, we performed …
