Study of Fat Metabolism and the Interplay with Insulin in Preterm Infants in the First Year of Life
Preterm infants (PIs) face a higher risk of chronic morbidity in adulthood, including cardiovascular diseases, and Diabetes Mellitus type 1 and type 2. The underlying causal mechanisms, whether driven by pre- or postnatal factors, remain obscure. Although this risk is well-known, its mechanism and …

Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Skin-Care Team
<p>In the United States, pressure injuries (PIs) cost $9.1–$11.6 billion per year and claim more than 60,000 patient lives. The large Northern California hospital where this CNL project was conducted has had an 8.33% incidence of hospital-acquired PIs at or greater than stage two in the pediatric …

Investigation of Phosphatidylinositols and Phosphoinositides Using Matrix- Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging
… This thesis focuses on phosphatidylinositols (PIs) and their phosphorylated forms, phosphoinositides (PIPs), which are critical regulators of cellular signaling, membrane dynamics, and cytoskeletal organization. Dysregulation of PIs and PIPs are implicated in various diseases, including …

The impact of National Science Foundation investments in undergraduate engineering education research: A comparative, mixed methods study
… initiatives and Principal Investigators (PIs) report their results in annual reports and conferences, there is little consistency on how impact is defined, evaluated, and measured. ^ While many agree on the importance of investing in research, the stiff economic climate necessitates that …

An Investigation into Resilience and its Relationship with Sleep and Neighborhood Social Cohesion among Older Pacific Islanders in Southern California
… by the year 2030. Older Pacific Islanders (PIs) will experience a similar growth trajectory. By 2030, older PIs will account for 13.2% of the PI population, a two-fold increase from the 6.5% reported in 2010. Therefore, the overall well-being of older adults is a critical part of public …

HIV Protease Inhibitors Trigger Lipid Metabolism Dysregulation Through Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Autophagy
… Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). HIV PIs are extremely effective at suppressing viral load, but have been linked to lipodystrophy and dyslipidemia, which are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Recent studies indicate that activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is …

Analysis of hairy-rod polyimides for photoalignment
… the in-house synthesised hairy-rod polyimides (PIs). Oblique unpolarised UV irradiation of branched PIs results in pretilted LCs of 2 deg to 88 deg depending on chemical composition, processing history and fluence. The initial pretilted alignment collapsed to homogeneous alignment at higher …

Investigating ecosystem-level effects of gillnet bycatch in Lake Erie: implications for commercial fisheries management
… datasets, the Partnership Index Fishing Survey (PIS) data and the commercial gillnet logbook data. The bycatch of walleye, yellow perch and white perch was predicted by a delta model developed on the PIS data. Discards were estimated as the difference between predicted bycatch and landed bycatch. …

Disubstituted BIS-THF moieties as new P2 ligands in nonpeptidal HIV-1 protease inhibitors
HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PIs) remain a powerful tool in the battle against HIV. The recently approved nonpeptidal HIV-protease inhibitor darunavir has been reported to be highly active against the wild-type virus as well as against a series of mutant strains. A rigid bis-tetrahydrofuran (bis-THF) …
