Genetic Counselors' Experiences With and Approaches to Discordant Genotypic and Phenotypic Sex Detected Via Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
… ubiquitous during pregnancy, genetic counselors (GCs) will see clients more frequently for discordant sex identification via non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT-DSI). Thus, it is imperative to investigate what GCs consider important when counseling about NIPT-DSI and assess how GCs perceive their …

Dynamics of cloud-top generating cells in winter cyclones
… that cloud-top precipitation generating cells (GCs) are ubiquitous in the warm-frontal and comma-head regions of midlatitude winter cyclones. The presence of fall streaks emanating from the GCs, and their persistence either to the surface or until merging into precipitation bands suggests that …

The accuracy of Glasgow coma scale Knowledge and Performance among Vietnamese nurses
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used as a tool to assess the level of consciousness in a brain injury patient. In this study, special attention was given to investigate the accuracy of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) knowledge and performance among Vietnamese nurses. On the basis of a nurse sample in CR …

Drawing Participation: Histories of Geospatial Computing, Professional Silos, and Computational Potentials for Collaboration in Planning and Design
… Instead, our Geospatial Computing Systems (GCS), their data models, interfaces, and methods need to start with domain theory and critical understandings of the background of our current tools, rather than the capacities of a specific computational framework. As a model in this direction, in …

Star Cluster Formation and Galactic Assembly: from instrumentation, to observations and simulations
Globular clusters (GCs) lie at the intersection of many fields, serving as test beds for stellar evolution, dynamics, and chemical evolution and acting as tracers of Galactic evolution. Despite their prevalence across astrophysics, many fundamental questions remain. Specifically, how did GCs form …

Gated communities in Lithuania: the problem of territorial integration /
… residential integration of gated communities (GCs) in Lithuania. The theoretical basis of the dissertation consists of two main theoretical directions: economic, represented by the club goods theory, and sociological, analyzed in the discourses of fear and power. The complex conditions for the …

Identifying a Glucocorticoid-activated GPCR that Rapidly and Non-Genomically Increases cAMP Levels in Mammalian Cells
<p>Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that regulate diverse physiological processes. Synthetic versions of GCs are commonly used to treat inflammatory diseases such as asthma by modulating gene expression to suppressing several inflammatory activities. However, it is estimated that 5-10% of …

Replaying Life's Tape With Intraclonal Germinal Center Evolution
… antibodies produced by germinal centers (GCs) are critical in protecting against the ever-increasing array of pathogens, understanding how GC response allows our immune system to recognize a variety of pathogens and develop specific and effective immunity against each pathogen encounters …

Numerical Simulation and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Saline Aquifers
… and economical Geological Carbon Sequestration: GCS) technology. Although among one of the most promising technologies to address the problem of anthropogenic global-warming due to CO2 emissions, the detailed mechanisms of GCS are not well-understood. As a result, there remain many uncertainties …

Graphs of Convex Sets with Applications to Optimal Control and Motion Planning
… We call such a graph a Graph of Convex Sets (GCS). Over a GCS we can formulate any optimization problem that we can formulate over an ordinary weighted graph, with scalar costs on the vertices and edges. In fact, for any fixed choice of the variables in the convex programs, a GCS reduces to a …

Chemical composition study of Galactic stellar substructures /
… groups of stars in the Geneva-Copenhagen survey (GCS) (Nordström et al. 2004) and suggested that those might correspond to remains of disrupted satellites. In this dissertation work we investigate detailed elemental abundances in stars belonging to two of the newly identified GCS kinematic groups. …

Staying together while learning: Relational work & the construction of collective institutional agency
Due to the complex nature of Grand Challenges (GCs), the literature is consistent that organizations must work collectively to address them (Berrone et al., 2016; Dorado, 2005). However, because these challenges are also uncertain and evaluative, there is often little agreement about what …
