Improving the Knowledge of EPM
Equine protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurologic disease in horses predominantly caused by the protozoa Sarcocystis neurona. Carried by the North American opossum, Didelphis virginiana, horses are exposed to S. neurona when eating or drinking food or water contaminated with opossum feces. …

Going Backstage: Examining Justice Perceptions of Electronic Performance Monitoring
… is known as electronic performance monitoring (EPM) in the academic literature. EPM systems increasingly utilize advanced algorithms, equipping companies with the capabilities to expose employees' actions, thoughts, and feelings. Prior research on EPM has focused mainly on the reactions of …

Enterprise Performance Management in High-Tech Engineering: Developing a Holistic Model
… model of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) for high-tech engineering (HTE) companies. To deal with the complexity of such an EPM system, which involves human factors as well as technology, the thesis uses Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). This is an approach to system analysis that is …

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis: investigating immunopathogenesis and treatment efficacy in mouse models and clinically affected horses
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), predominantly caused by the protozoa Saracocystis neurona, is a common neurologic disease in horses from North America. Equine exposure to the parasite occurs frequently as the protozoa is excreted in opossum (Didelphis virginiana) feces and contaminates …

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Preliminary Investigation of Protozoan-Host interactions in the horse
… b) if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from horses with EPM has an effect on mitogen-stimulated PBMCs, suggesting that the microenvironment of the site of infection influences the course of disease. Experiment 1: Mitogen simulated PBMCs from EPM affected and control horses were co-cultured with fragments …

Investigation of Immune Response to Sarcocystis neurona Infection in Horses with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious neurologic disease of horses in the United States. The primary etiologic agent is Sarcocystis neurona (S. neurona). Currently, there is limited knowledge regarding the protective or pathologic immune response to infection to the intracellular …

Design and development of functional foot for agile and dynamic legged robots
… magnet with the Halbach magnet array (H-EPM). The H-EPM improves the force reduction at an air gap of the typical electropermanent magnet. Using the H-EPM and a magnetorheological elastomer, the magnetic foot design has been introduced. We provide an analytical adhesion force model of the …

Empowerment Process Model for Implementing Participatory Strategies: Testing a Model That Describes the Context of Food and Nutrition Problems of Dominican Women
… research study, an Empowerment Process Model (EPM) was tested for the development of feasible action plans that addressed the priority concerns and the implicit food and nutrition problems of village families within their current socio-economic and political context. The Visual Verification …

Method for single-cell mass and electrophoretic mobility measurement
… quantify the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of cells transiting the SMR while subjected to oscillatory electric fields. Recorded resonance frequency time courses can be analyzed to extract both the buoyant mass and EPM of individual cells. This instrument has been used to simultaneously …

Can levamisole upregulate the equine cell mediated immune response in vitro?
Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is arguably the most common and costly equine neurologic diseases nationwide. The national seroprevalence is >50%, but only 0.5-1% of all horses develops disease during their lifetimes. Some EPM affected horses have decreased immune response. A cell-mediated …

The impact of yesterday’s territorial shortages on today’s adapted mind
… endowed with an evolved psychological mechanism (EPM) to view threats concerning territory as especially salient and worthy of aggressive retorts. I go on to contend that variation in individuals’ ontogenetic contexts—such as sex differences between males and females—and immediate situational …

Effects of oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) administration on motor activity and anxiety-like behavior in adolescent and adult Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes
… anxiety-like behavior on an elevated plus maze (EPM). Subjects received vehicle- or THC-impregnated crackers (3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/kg) starting on either P35-37 for adolescent-onset groups or P79-81 for adult-onset groups 90 min prior to each behavioral test. Our data suggests that THC induced a …

The development of a novel composite score to characterize effect size of behavior and histopathology changes after a repetitive mild traumatic brain injury
… statistical methods. The score revealed MWM and EPM as the most potent behavioral tests. The Open Field and Rotarod test had a small impact on the outcome, but only in one of the three statistical models assessed. Thus, to effectively analyze treatment efficiencies, injury severity and long-term …

Experimental infection with Sarcocystis neurona alters the immune response: the effect on CD4+, CD8+, B-cell, monocyte and granulocyte populations in horses
… in CD4+, CD8+ and B-cell populations between EPM affected and normal horses. The overall goal of our project was to further define the immune deficiencies associated with S. neurona infection. We hypothesized that PMA/I stimulated suppression in EPM horses is due to decreased proliferation of …
