Lived experiences of low-wage, working women in Texas without paid postpartum leave
… (LWWW) in Texas without paid postpartum leave (PPL). The USA remains one of the few countries in the world that does not provide the formal, functional social support of PPL. Postpartum is one of the most sensitive times for women and their infants, and paid postpartum leave (PPL) is a policy …

Effect of acute exercise on postprandial lipemia and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in normal weight and overweight adolescents
Elevated postprandial lipemia (PPL) is associated with impaired endothelial function, an increase in adhesion molecule expression and inflammation. Acute exercise reduces PPL in adults. No studies have examined the effect of acute exercise on PPL in normal weight (NW) and overweight (OW) …

The use of enzyme catalysts in organic media for the synthesis of biodegradable polyesters
… obtained using crude porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) suspended in anhydrous diethyl ether. Addition of molecular sieve to the above system gave higher molecular weight products. The PPL catalysed reaction of bis(2,2,2-trichlorethyl) adipate and glutarate with butane-1,4-diol in anhydrous ether …

Liquid Crystal-Based Biosensors for the Detection of Bile Acids
… The third part of this dissertation is to apply this LC-based biosensor to the detection of urinary bile acids. We test the influence of several potential interfering species such as urea, creatinine, uric acid and ascorbic acid by conducting experiments in synthetic urine. By adjusting the …

Inference Plans for Hybrid Probabilistic Inference
Advanced probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) use hybrid inference systems to combine symbolic exact inference and Monte Carlo sampling to improve inference performance. These systems use heuristics to partition random variables within the program into variables that are represented …
