Finding order in a contentious Internet
… is referred to as the number resource system (NRS). NRS authority is contingent, rooted in consensus based knowledge assessment necessary to adapt apace with Internet growth. The efficiency with which observable negative externalities are remediated is a compelling entry point to this work. The …

Key role and diversity of EcR/USP and other nuclear receptors in selected Arthropoda species
The nuclear receptors (NRs), an important protein superfamily of transcription factors found in all animals, regulate the expression of genes in a large array of biological processes. Their involvement in moulting and metamorphosis, embryonic development, cell differentiation and reproduction of …

Synthesis and characterisation of hybrid Zn0-carbon nanostructures for potential applications in hydrogen storage
… as a seeding in the synthesis of ZnO nanorods (NRs). Using the hydrothermal process, vertically aligned ZnO NRs were grown on different seed particles which resulted in the different sizes and distribution of nanorods. ZnO NRs were used as templates in the deposition of ZnO-CNFs at various …

Associations between sleep disturbances, personality, and trait emotional intelligence
… to sleep. Complaints of nonrestorative sleep (NRS) are often associated with insomnia but can occur independently. Fragmented sleep and NRS have been shown to relate to one’s mood, one’s ability to process their own or others’ emotions, and can lead to changes in cognitions and behaviors. …

Biological and biomimetic mineralization via protein nanoribbon scaffolds
… analysis of ACP nucleation rates on Amel NRs as a function of chemical potential, we see phosphorylated Amel NRs (pAmel NRs) are far more potent calcium phosphate nucleators than other amelogenin motifs or collagen, which provides the scaffold for bone. This potency stems from a periodic …

THE EFFECTS OF PARTICIPATION IN A GRIEF CHOIR ON PERCEIVED GRIEF, COPING, ENERGY, SOCIAL SUPPORT, AND HEALTH AMONG BEREAVED ADULTS: A MIXED METHODS RANDOMIZED CONTROL STUDY
… in both groups for the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) start-of-session grief, NRS end-of- session grief, Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC), and NRS end-of-session coping measures. These results indicate that both groups showed significant improvement over time in these areas. A …

Nuclear Receptors in Lung Cancer
… patient tissue samples provided a subset of NRs showing dramatic differences in expression and subgroupings that demonstrate individual variations between the normal and corresponding tumor. Furthermore, I identified several individual NRs as well as a subgroup of NRs with prognostic power. …

Evaluation Working Within and Challenging Performance Measurement Systems: An Example With the National Reporting System and on -Going Child Assessments in a Local Head Start Program
… assessments and the National Reporting System (NRS). Data collection in this two-year longitudinal, participatory study included a combination of surveys, interviews, and observations with Head Start staff members, Head Start parents, and Kindergarten teachers, as well as child outcome …

EXPLORING NATURAL RESOURCE SCARCITY MITIGATION APPROACHES IN SUPPLYNETWORKS
… firms to incorporate natural resource scarcity (NRS) risks into their operational strategies. However, as demonstrated in the review of the literature, there is a gap in understanding on how firms with complex and dispersed supply networks (SNs) evaluate and mitigate against NRS challenges. This …

Synthesis, characterisation and applications of bimetallic nanoparticles
… high yield gold nanorods and core-shell Au-Metal NRs. Powerful experimental techniques viz. UV-Vis NIR spectroscopy and electron microscopy (STEM) were employed to characterise the monometallic and bimetallic AuNRs. AuNSs, AuNRs, Au@Pd NRs, Au@Pd NSs, Au@Pt NRs and Au@Rh core-shell nanorods were …

Efficacy of pain scales in athletic populations and paired with aglometric measurements
… pain scales are: the numerical rating scale (NRS), 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS-5), and visual analog scale (VAS) but there is no gold standard established to measure unidimensional pain intensity. Algometry is an objective technique to measure pain pressure threshold and tolerances. …

Hierarchical Semiconductor, Metal and Hybrid Nanostructures and the Study of their Light-matter Interactions
… in self-assembled chains of gold nanorods (NRs), we have established a direct correlation between ensemble-averaged surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and extinction properties of these nanoscale chains. Experimental results were supported by comprehensive finite-difference time-domain …

Chemical Tools for Exploring Metabolite Interactions with Nuclear Receptors and Beyond
… (alk-GW9662) for a subset of nuclear receptors (NRs). NRs are a family of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate diverse physiological processes in animals and are key targets for therapeutic development. Recent studies implicated NRs in host–microbiota interactions and suggested …

The Analgesic Effects of Epidural Ketamine in Dogs With a Chemically Induced Synovitis: A Comparison Between Pre - or Post - Injury Administration
… a force platform and a numerical rating scale (NRS). Assessments were performed before and at 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours after the induction of synovitis. Vertical ground reaction forces were significantly decreased and numerical rating scale scores of total pain were significantly …

Growth and characterization of carbon nanostructures on zinc oxide nanostructures
… When the CVD process was done on Fe coated ZnO NRs at 580-630 °C, in addition 5 to the previously described CNs, we observed randomly oriented CNTs. The CNs/ZnO hybrids were characterised by ex-situ SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy, and in-situ XPS and UPS. We further found that, when used as a …
