Limits of Permissible Damage in Strong-Post W-Beam Guardrail
Crash tests of strong-post w-beam guardrail have focused entirely on the performance of new guardrail. The risk posed by minor damage modes, e.g. small deflections and missing posts, has never been evaluated. Using finite element models validated by real world crash tests, this study assessed the …

Just Sit for a Bit: A Moment of Caring
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Research shows that<strong> </strong>time spent sitting at the bedside promotes trust, which ultimately improves nurse satisfaction, patient satisfaction and patient outcomes. Patient satisfaction scores have been below benchmark for several months on an adult …

Kinetics of accumulation of photoregulated plastid proteins and theirmRNAs during greening in Euglena gracilis Z
… between mRNA and protein suggests a strong post-transcriptional control on LSU gene expression. Expression of CP I and 26 kd and 28 kd LHCP genes appears subject to control in the nucleus up to 1 day. After this, post-transcriptional control appears to be important. The level of CP a …

INCREASED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NURSES AND DOCTORS ON AN ACUTE MEDICAL UNIT
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Nurse-physician rounding is crucial to safe, effective care and to maintain open communication between the multidisciplinary healthcare team. Currently there is no protocol that encourages nurses to attend physician rounds. The lack of nurse-physician rounding is a …

Injury Risk of Road Departure Crashes using Modeling and Reconstruction Methods
… could not be reconstructed. The use of strong-post w-beam guardrail along roadsides is the primary method by which exposure to risk is reduced. Efforts to model guardrails using finite element methods were hampered by the large number of unknowns and lack of knowledge about the …

Investigation of multiple interspecific reproductive barriers in Solanum section Lycopersicon
… operating after mating but before fertilization (postmating prezygotic barriers), and those acting after fertilization (postzygotic barriers). In the tomato clade, postmating prezygotic barriers regulating pollen tube growth in pistils are known to be important for preventing hybridization. …

The role of molecular length scale on the viscoplastic response of amorphous polymer nanofibers in the glassy state
… against surface forces that are particularly strong at the micron and submicron scales. The majority of existing literature on the mechanical properties of ultra-small volumes of polymers in their glassy state focuses on ultra-thin films and is limited to small deformations and the …
