Differential Response of Various Spore Species to Sporicidal Disinfectants
<p>In the fall of 2001, letters laced with anthrax spores were delivered to various news organizations in New York and Florida, as well as to two Senators in Washington, D.C. Over 22 anthrax infections and five deaths resulted from exposure to these spores, and decontamination of the affected …

The process of the impact of differential response on child maltreatment recurrence
Differential response is an alternative child protective services (CPS) system that about 25 states in the U.S. have implemented since the 1990s. Evaluation reports have found that DR does not compromise child safety in comparison to traditional CPS approach. However, previous studies have not …

Differential Response of a Virginia Common Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) Collection to Glyphosate
… Westmoreland County, Virginia, which exhibited a differential response to glyphosate treatments as compared to most other common lambsquarters. Plants from this site that survived glyphosate applications were collected in both 2002 and 2004. Greenhouse studies were conducted on F1, F2, and F3 …

Correlates of risk of TB disease in infants with differential response to BCG vaccination
… cytotoxic T cell potential and proliferation in response to BCG as potential correlates of risk of TB disease but none of these outcomes were different between cases and controls. However, transcriptional profiling of PBMC revealed two clusters of infants and interestingly, the gene expression …

An investigation into the differential response of hemp dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum L.) to two pyridine herbicides
… experiments were conducted to study the differential effects of fluroxypyr and clopyralid herbicides on hemp dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum L.). In field experiments, fluroxypyr provided excellent control of hemp dogbane while the response to clopyralid was very poor. Good season long …

Metabolic bases for the differential response of 'Kwangkyo' and 'Hood' soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) to the herbicide paraquat
The soybean cultivars differentially sensitive to 'Kwangkyo' and 'Hood' are the bipyridylium herbicide paraquat (1,l'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion). This was confirmed by visible injury observations as well as by measurements of desiccation ratings, chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll …

Community Factors in Differential Responses of Child Protective Services
… and inappropriate for some referrals. In response, a Differential Response Model of child protection has emerged, with investigative and non-investigative alternative response paths that better acknowledge the complexities of child maltreatment and child protection. The purpose of this …

Measuring children’s sensitivity to phonological detail using eye tracking and pupillometry
… The study reported in Chapter 2 obtained a differential response in pupil dilation to the degree of featural manipulation, a result consistent with gradient sensitivity. The study reported in Chapter 3 obtained a differential response in proportion of looking time and pupil dilation to the …

Direct Comparison of Acute Responses to Isotonic Or Isokinetic Eccentric Muscle Action: Implications For Differential Outcomes In Skeletal Muscle Damage
… to isokinetic eccentric contractions elicits a differential response in regards to surrogate markers of skeletal muscle damage. Purpose: To directly compare between isotonic- and isokinetic-type eccentric contractions for differences in markers of muscle damage. Methods: 24 men were placed into …

Topics in Bayesian models with ordered parameters : response misclassification, covariate misclassification, and sample size determination.
… ordered parameters. We investigate ordered differential response misclassification in a logistic regression model and provide an adjustment for it using a conditional prior structure. We examine a parametric Bayesian Weibull proportional hazards model with ordered covariate misclassification …

Investigating The Effect Of Chronic Muscle Use And Disuse On Innate Immune Signaling In Skeletal Muscle
… NLRP3 inflammasome complex, by augmenting the response against damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The objective of this study was to investigate how various metabolic conditions affect innate immune activation and mitochondrial health within skeletal muscle, which has not been fully …

Computational analysis of genomic data provides insight into cell sensitivity to BCNU-Induced DNA damage
The transcriptional response to DNA damage plays a critical role in cellular responses to exogenous stress, and is a key component of resistance to therapeutics in cancer cells. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, as well as the differences in DNA damage responses, between cell lines can have …

The effect of executive function deficits on treatment response in children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
… functioning (EF) deficits play in treatment response for ODD symptomology. Since EF deficits often co-occur with ODD, it is important to consider whether those with such deficits respond differently to PMT and CPS, particularly given that an approach such as CPS relies more on EF skills than …

The economic and ethical considerations and implications of the stratification of future oncology therapeutics
… the use of clinical biomarkers to indicate differential response among patients in efficacy or potential side effects of therapeutic agents. The advent of stratified medicine should, in theory, result in the safer, more effective use of therapeutic agents to treat cancer. However, reluctance …

Two Essays: Changes in the Implementation Flexibility and Financial Statement Location of Mandated Accounting Standards; and Does the Financial Statement Location of Transition Adjustments Matter to Investors?
… I explore whether the stock market exhibits a differential response to alternative financial statement reporting locations. I find that when firms adopt new accounting standards investors react to the magnitude of the transition adjustments, but there are no discernable valuation effects across …
