Acetaminophen has been safely used for analgesia for many years.
Literature suggests that a plasma acetaminophen level of 5μg/ml is necessary to
maintain analgesic relief in humans. Current dosing regiments are inconvenient (every
4-6 hours) and do not maintain this minimum plasma level. Simulations were
conducted to examine various doses...
The Bransfield Strait is the narrow, late Tertiary to Quaternary marginal basin separating the South Shetland Islands from the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula magmatic arc. Quaternary volcanism in the strait is tholeiitic to mildly alkaline, and contrasts chemically with the pre-Quaternary calc-alkaline arc volcanism. Geochemical evidence presented here...
The purpose of this research was to determine if there were any relationships between measured personality traits and vocational interests between the Adult Learner with Learning Disabilities (ALLD) and without Learning Disabilities (ALNLD). Instruments utilized to measure personality traits and vocational interests included the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and...
We present the results of our experiments designed to extend the clinical applications of commercially available Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters. Our initial experiments demonstrate the linear response of the OSL dosimeters for doses under 200 cGy and the non-linear response of the device after 200 cGy. Our experiments show...
Aluminum alloys are popular in aerospace and automotive industries because of their relatively high strength-to-weight ratio. The study of enhancing aluminum’s mechanical properties through grain refinement is especially important. One such technique is High-Pressure Torsion processing (HPT), which leads to significant grain size refinement and enhances mechanical properties like ductility...
Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in
the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A
catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through
empirical orthogonal function analysis...
A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...
