Worker profile: two functional assessment models
The traditional functional assessment techniques developed by medical, psychological and social care providers lack the quantitative precision of industrial engineering work descriptors. This study develops two models of disabled worker behavior for use in the vocational assessment and job design …

Demonstrating the Validity of the Video Game Functional Assessment-Revised (VGFA-R)
… To date, several researchers have designed assessments to evaluate excessive video game play based on the previous editions and current editions of the DSM. However, these assessments primarily measure the criterion established in these manuals, instead of measuring the maintaining function …

Isolation, characterization, and functional assessment of novel smooth muscle like stem progenitors
… to these circulating stem progenitor cells. The functional potential of SMSPC was determined by monitoring adoptive transfer of GFP+ SMSPC in rodent models of vascular injury; carotid injury and MCT-PHTN. The participation of SMSPC in vascular pathology was confirmed by quantifying the peripheral …

Evaluation of the Basis and Effectiveness of Habitat Assessments in Wetland Functional Assessment Methods
I studied the basis and effectiveness of wetland assessment methods in providing habitat assessments. While it is well understood that wetlands and riparian areas provide important ecological functions and habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species, much is still to be learned about providing …

The discovery and functional assessment of novel peptides from the skin secretions of frogs
… chemical synthesis of the peptides, various functional bioassays were used to evaluate their antimicrobial, haemolytic and anticancer activities.<br/><br/>In addition, a cationicity-enhanced analogue was designed according to the primary structure of QUB2605. Both QUB2605 and its analogue …

EPIGENETIC AND FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT OF ENHANCEROPATHIES ACROSS HUMAN MODELS: FOCUS ON GABRIELE-DE VRIES SYNDROME
Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a ubiquitous zinc finger transcription factor (TF) that occupies active enhancers and promoters contributing to physical interactions between these regions via DNA looping. Increasing evidence shows that disruption of non-coding regions such as enhancers is prevalent across …

Context-based functional assessment and intervention for preschool-age children with problem behaviors in childcare
A context-based functional assessment was conducted to identify variables that influenced the problem behaviors of four preschool age children in a childcare center, and the effects of intervention programs which were developed based on the assessment results were evaluated. Generality to …

Group Parent Training and Collaboration on Functional-Assessment Based Intervention in Reducing Children's Challenging Behaviors
… were trained in a large group setting on using functional assessment to design interventions that fit the needs of individual families. The training included information sharing and collaborating with parents on designing functional-assessment based interventions. An Interrupted Time Series …

The discovery and functional assessment of novel peptide QUB-2686 from Red-eyed tree frog, Agalychnis callidryas
… mass spectrometry, QUB-2686 was subjected to functional tests and it was found to have potent anticancer effect (cell viability percentage lower than 50% at concentration of 10-5M) on lung cancer H157 cell line (ATCC-CRL-5802), and moderate anticancer activity on breast cancer cell line MCF-7 …

Functional Assessment-based Interventions: Results of a Professional Learning Series to Build Educators’ Knowledge, Confidence, and Perceived Use
… in designing, implementing, and evaluating Functional Assessment-based Interventions using the model developed by Umbreit, Ferro, Liaupsin, and Lane (2007). We examined shifts in participants’ actual knowledge and perceived knowledge, confidence, and use of concepts taught over the course of …

A study of succinate dehydrogenase deficient tumourigenesis: From functional assessment of variant pathogenicity to the discovery of new disease biomarkers
… in these genes which require additional assessment. New diagnostic adjuncts such as SDHB immunohistochemistry(7), have provided additional prognostic information and prediction of malignant risk but further biomarkers are needed. Furthermore there is a lack of effective treatments for …

Functional assessment of BRAF and CRAF through Base Editor 3 mutagenesis reveals residues and regions critical for ERK1/2 signalling
… in an arrayed format with the high-throughput functional readout of p-ERK1/2 immunofluorescence to screen BRAF and CRAF for mutations that alter RAF kinase activity. The BE3 screen identified a number of mutations in BRAF and CRAF that maintained BRAF or CRAF protein expression, but …

Identification and functional assessment of a bioactive peptide QUB-2984 from the skin secretion of the red-eyed tree frog, Agalychnis callidryas
… the isolation, identification, and bioactivity assessment of this bioactive peptide named QUB-2984. Agalychnis callidryas skin secretions were collected by stimulating the frogs’ skin. The sequence of QUB-2984 (GMWGTVFKGIKTVAKHLLPHVFSSQQS) was obtained by ‘shotgun’ cloning through constructing a …

A Comparison of Two Function-Based Interventions: NCR vs. DRO in a Preschool Classroom
… through indirect, descriptive, and experimental assessment. Participants included three preschool-age children in center-based classrooms (Head Start) in a southeastern school district. Functional assessment data were used to inform treatment procedures, which were examined with an alternating …

Using functional behavioral assessment to support an elementary student with challenging behavior in a self-contained classroom
… the effectiveness of interventions based on functional behavioral assessment (FBA) to positively support a student who had specific challenging behaviors and to determine if it was practical for a classroom teacher, the researcher, to utilize functional-assessment techniques. The researcher …
