This paper describes a methodology developed for evaluating
the acceptance of a regional drug information service in providing
patient-specific information. This methodology employs a blinded
study design and uses activity in the patient chart for determining
the acceptance of information.
A total of 60 requests were referred to the regional...
CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Measured driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated
daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a...
There is a great deal of evidence that altered sphingolipid metabolism is associated with fumonisin-induced
animal diseases including increased apoptotic and oncotic necrosis, and carcinogenesis in
rodent liver and kidney. The biochemical consequences of fumonisin disruption of sphingolipid
metabolism most likely to alter cell regulation are increased free sphingoid bases...
