The development of a whole school approach to education for sustainability
… school approach to education for sustainability (EfS) supports the notion that children learn both through an enacted curriculum and informally through the messages and meanings inherent in their surroundings. A whole school approach to EfS involves transforming the system rather than reforming it …

An Intramural, Tension-modulating Reflex in the Rat Caudal Artery
… and/or endothelial origins. We have shown that EFS-induced relaxation of intact, phenylephrine (PE) preconstricted rat tail artery (RTA) rings was dependent upon the extracellular concentration of Ca++. Inhibiting either nitric oxide (NO) synthesis with N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), …

Creating tactile feedback with intelligent electrical stimulation to compensate for sensory impairment.
… a wearable electrotactile feedback system (EFS) could improve life quality by supporting people with balance instability as a result of this condition. In this study a wearable EFS was designed to estimate the magnitude of pressure applied to the feet during standing and walking. The study …

Executive Functioning Outcomes among Self-Harming Adolescents Receiving DBT-A
… involving the PFC underlie the development of EFs during adolescence; however, adolescents with DSH have impaired EFs in the areas of inhibition, emotion regulation, shifting, and interpersonal functioning. DBT-A has been shown to be effective in treating these youth and the skills of …

Language Skills, Oral Narrative Production, and Executive Functions of Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
… narrative abilities, and executive functions (EFs) of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and normal hearing (NH), and examined the differences between two groups as well as the relationships between oral narrative production and EFs.</p> <p>Eleven children who are DHH and ten who …

Emission Measurement of Air Pollutants from CNG-gasoline Bi-fuel Vehicles
The estimation of emission factors (EFs) is the basis of accurate emission inventory. However, the EFs of air pollutants for motor vehicles vary under different operating conditions, which will cause uncertainty in developing emission inventory. Natural gas (NG), considered as a “cleaner” fuel than …

Chemical composition and toxicity of emissions from burning five vegetation types of Western Australia under experimental combustion conditions
This study investigated the emission factors (EFs) for inorganic gases (CO2, CO, SO2, NO and NO2), carbonyls (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde and benzaldehyde), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) from laboratory-based fires …

Aerosol formation from oil and gas development in the Eagle Ford Shale in two different seasons
… UOGD on the air quality in the Eagle Ford Shale (EFS), a region in southeast Texas, through ambient measurements during two different seasons. Instrumentation was deployed to Karnes City, TX, located in the EFS, in the spring and fall of 2023. Instrumentation included ACSM, SEMS, and monitors for …

Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use In Older Patient With Breast and Colorectal Cancer
… with different covariates. Event-free survival (EFS) was defined from the initiation of chemotherapy to outcome, and estimated using the KM method. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to determine the association of baseline PIMs with EFS. The final analysis included 1595 breast and 1528 …
