Systemic Insulin Sensitivity and Skeletal Muscle Akt Signaling in Rats Artificially Selected for Low and High Aerobic Capacity
… of selective breeding, high aerobic capacity (HCR) rats exhibited an 8-fold increase in running distance vs low aerobic capacity (LCR) rats (n=14 per group). LCR rats had higher rates of weight gain vs HCR (p<0.05) though food consumption was constant (p=0.86) over a 12-week study. Rats were …

The assessment and management of violence in forensic populations
… violence. Chapter Two provides a critique of the HCR-20 Risk Assessment Scheme and highlights that despite some apparent shortcomings of the HCR-20, the instrument remains the best known and best researched, empirically based guide to violence risk assessment. In Chapter Three a prospective …

Modeling Bubble Coarsening in Froth Phase from First Principles
… When the TLF thins to a critical film thickness (Hcr), the amplitude of the wave motion grows suddenly and the two air/water interfaces touch each other, causing the TLF to rupture and bubbles to coalesce. In the present work, a new model that can predict Hcr has been developed by considering the …

Extraction based thermodynamic balancing for a humidification dehumidification desalination plant
… involves matching the heat capacity ratio (HCR) of the flows exchanging heat and mass to approach unity. Specifically, based on theoretical studies done previously in the group, it had been proposed that mass extraction of air from the humidification device to the dehumidification device …

The regulation of genes of unknown function implicated in nitrosative stress tolerance in Escherichia coli K-12
… in nitrosative stress management, \(hcp-hcr\), were unknown. Strains carrying a chromosomal \(yeaR-yoaG\) deletion were not more sensitive to nitric oxide or hydroxylamine compared with the parental strain, suggesting that the products of this operon are not essential for dealing with …

Perfil nutricional de adultos beneficiários do programa bolsa família no município de Cabedelo - PB
… the Body Mass Index and Waist-Height Ratio (HCR). The results showed that 67.1% of the population with high WC are above the proper weight (68.8%) and also with high HCR (77.3%). Also we observed statistically significant association (p <0.05) between age and nutritional status variables, and …

Structured professional judgement approach to risk assessment: generalisability across patient groups for the prediction of adverse outcomes in secure mental health care
… coherent body of work related to the use of the HCR-20 and the START to inform risk assessment and management of secure mental health inpatients. The thesis contributes significant theoretical and applied knowledge by: 1) investigating the extent to which these tools can be generalised beyond …

Estratégia sinérgica e integradora centrada em valores organizacionais
… organizacionais do Hospital Cristo Redentor – HCR. Mereceram especial consideração a integração sinérgica entre as subculturas organizacionais e o comprometimento das pessoas com a missão e objetivos da organização. A amostra foi composta por 23 chefias do HCR. Foi utilizada a Escala de Valores …

Assessing risk and outcomes in offenders detained in intellectual disability and mental health medium secure units in the United Kingdom
… Chapter 4 contains a critical review of the HCR-20, which reports on the reliability and validity of the assessment tool in terms of its applicability in assessing risk in mentally disordered offenders, as well as its limitations. Chapter 5 presents a case study of a violent male offender …

The assessment and treatment of violence in personality disordered offenders
… of the Historical/Clinical/Risk Management- 20 (HCR-20; Webster, Douglas, Douglas Eaves & Hart, 1997) showing it to be a valid and reliable within forensic populations. However, the review indicates the need for additional research, making recommendations for such work. The empirical paper in …

Characterizing slc8a4b as an Osteoblast Marker in Danio rerio
… Reaction RNA Fluorescence in situ hybridization (HCR RNA-FISH). These images revealed more centralized expression of slc8a4b compared to runx2b and sp7 in the 3dpf opercle and compared to runx2b in the dorsal portion of the 3dpf cleithrum. HCR images of tnfrsf11a (RANK), recently identified as an …

Adaptive combinations of classifiers with application to on-line handwritten character recognition
… of the Helsinki University of Technology, CIS-HCR. Classifiers based on the CIS-HCR system have been used in the adaptive committee experiments as both member classifiers and to provide a reference level. Finally, two distinct approaches for improving the performance of committee classifiers …

Risk and prediction of violent crime in forensic psychiatry
… (PCL-R), Historical, Clinical, Risk Management (HCR-20), and Life History of Aggression (LHA). After a mean follow-up time of almost five years, data on violent recidivism was obtained from official crime registers and analysed in relation to the clinical and criminological risk factors and to …

Effects of Aerobic Capacity Phenotype on Adaptive Responses to Ischemic Stress
… to peripheral arterial occlusion, compared to HCR counterparts. Muscle samples from both the ischemic and the non-ischemic limb in both strains were compared metabolically for their relative capacity to oxidize fatty acid, histologically for the anatomical vascular capillarity supporting …

Effects of exercise and phytoestrogens on white adipose tissue health in estrogen deficient rodents
… Female OVX rats selectively bred for high (HCR) or low (LCR) intrinsic aerobic capacity were fed a high fat diet (HFD; 45%) to induce obesity and had access to a running wheel. It was demonstrated that 11 weeks of voluntary wheel running improved WAT health in previously sedentary LCR rats …

The influence of poverty on the development and maintenance of conduct disorder and perpetuation of crime and violence
… and the Historical/Clinical/Risk Management (HCR-20). My results indicate that my measure of respondents’ income was not associated with propensity for crime. However, severity of CD and an increased number of S-E factors of poverty were positively associated with propensity for crime in …
