Health care providers, including complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practitioners, exert a significant influence on parental pediatric vaccination decisions. Use of CAM therapies is increasing in Oregon. Concomitantly, there has been a decade-long increase in parental vaccine refusal in Oregon, rising from 1 to 5 percent from 2000-2009. For example,...
Curcumin is a yellow colored bioactive pigment present in the spice turmeric (Curcuma longa). It has been identified with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antirheumatic, antidiabetic and antiviral properties. It is extensively used in nutraceutical, food and cosmetics industry. Fueled by its potential uses in research community and rise in awareness...
Thin foil samples of special nuclear materials (SNMs) were irradiated for 60s using a Mark TRIGA II reactor, and their associated gamma emissions were recorded with a count time of 60s following irradiation. A rapid pneumatic transfer system was used to irradiate the samples in front of beam port #4....
The sweet potato is one of the world’s most widely consumed crops, yet its evolutionary history is poorly understood. In this paper, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic study of all species closely related to the sweet potato and address several questions pertaining to the sweet potato that remained unanswered. Our...
Few remote health monitoring (RHM) studies have included Mexican-origin Latinos, and even fewer have explored RHM acceptance and utility, reasons for RHM uptake success or failure, or how cultural values influence RHM use among this population. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the remote health monitoring (RHM)...
Summary plankton and whole RA species collection and processing data for all samples other then OTB,MT,VM,EMPS. Only smooth data, samples from dip net, or others given from other locations. Date of coverage: 1965-1971.
More than 30 members of the diverse amphidinolide family of biologically active macrolides have been isolated over last three decades. From this family, amphidinolides C and F stand among the most complex and densely functionalized affiliates. Recently, we have accomplished the first total synthesis of amphidinolide F. The all-carbon framework...
More than six million American students have a diagnosed disability (NCES, 2015). Research suggests that 62% of them may never participate in clubs, sports, or other organized activities in their communities (Coster et al., 2012). Parents, advocates, and educators of individuals who experience disability were interviewed to gather their perspectives...
To obtain a mechanistic understanding of the chemical processes, techniques that offer a frame-by-frame visualization of molecular structure during a reaction are of vital importance. Numerous efforts and advances have been made in order to acquire such vivid molecular “movies”, especially in the electronic excited state. Ultrafast molecular spectroscopy method...
