Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling Approach To Linking Stream Morphology And Aquatic Habitat Quality, J. S. Clark, W. C. Hession, Donna M. Rizzo, J. P. Laible, M. C. Watzin

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model (River2D) was utilized to evaluate the relationship between geomorphic condition (as estimated using an existing rapid assessment protocol) and instream habitat quality in small Vermont streams. Six stream reaches ranging in geomorphic condition from good to poor according to the protocols were utilized for this study. We conducted detailed topographic surveys, quantified bed substrate, and measured velocity values during baseflow conditions. The reach models were calibrated with realistic roughness values based on field observations and pebble counts. After calibration, the flows were scaled up to median and bankfull flows for additional analysis. The weighted usable area …

Modeling Short-Term Epidemics And Intervention Strategies In Cities, Valeriy Perminov, M. Kornilina

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Individual-based model (IBM) for simulation of urban influenza epidemic is constructed. In comparison with the past similar models the proposed model has new features: 1)it bases on a real demographical and social infrastructure statistical data; 2)its contacts network is built up with the help of daily routines of different age and social groups of residents. Test simulations were carried out with the use of demographical data on the population of Dresden (Germany). The results obtained showed that the proposed model can be used for the simulation of different epidemics and intervention strategies to contain epidemic or to weaken its consequences.

Biocatalytic And Antimetastatic Studies Of The Marine Cembranoids Sarcophine And 2-Epi-16-Deoxysarcophine, Swapnali S. Sawant, Diaa T.A. Youssef, Jane Reiland, Melissa Ferniz, Dario Marchetti, Khalid A. El Sayed

Faculty Publications

The soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum is a rich resource of several bioactive cembranoids. Sarcophytol A (1) and sarcophine (2) are cembranoid diterpenes reported from this soft coral and extensively investigated for their cancer chemopreventive properties. This study aimed at investigating the antimetastatic potential of the major cembranoids, sarcophine (2) and 2-epi-16-deoxysarcophine (3), from the Red Sea soft coral S. glaucum. Biocatalytic transformation of 3 using Rhizopus stolonifer ATCC 6227a and Absidia spinosa ATCC 6648 afforded four new metabolites, 5-7 and 9, along with the known 9α-hydroxysarcophine (8). Sarcophine, 2-epi-16-deoxysarcophine, and metabolites 5-9 revealed significant antimetastatic activity against the highly metastatic …

The Importance Of The Community Of Practice In Identity Development, Janis Davis

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine what processes facilitate, temper, or impede occupational therapy identity development in a community of practice. Methods: A multiple case design organized data collected from five in-depth interviews with occupational therapy students on level II fieldwork. A cross-case analysis was used to arrive at multiple case themes. Results: Themes emerged as responses to participation in a community of practice: a) professional relationships; b) supervision types; and c) responsibility for professional identity development. Results suggest that communities of practice have unique characteristics that either inhibit students from adopting professional identity or draw them …

Workplace Blogs And Workers' Privacy, Rafael Gely, Leonard Bierman

Faculty Publications

In this article we focus on a related issue. We discuss the development of blogs, and the virtual “space” where blogs and bloggers interact the “blogosphere” and their impact on the issue of workers' privacy. To some extent it would seem a bit of a contradiction to talk about privacy and blogging in the same article. Blogging, as we will discuss below, does not appear to be the most private of enterprises. There are, we argue, a number of interesting privacy issues raised by the development of blogs as an employee communication tool and by the way employers have reacted …

An Alternative Model For First Level Clinical Education Experiences In Physical Therapy, Debra Stern, Shari Rone-Adams

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: As the first of two papers addressing challenges in applying best evidence to physiotherapy practice, this paper highlights the role of qualitative research and challenges researchers face in producing sound evidence for practice.Summary of Key Points: The challenge of what constitutes acceptable evidence to inform evidence-based practice is addressed in this paper with critique of the current over-reliance on quantitative methodologies that excludes a substantial body of valuable qualitative evidence to support sound practice. The current trend of relying on questionnaires to obtain psychosocial data is challenged on the basis of limitations of research design. Challenges to researchers from …

Reference Values And Relationship Of The Six Minute Walk Test And Body Mass Index In Healthy Third Grade School Children, James Roush, Jennifer Guy, Melissa Purvis

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: This study attempted to establish reference values of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) for children (38 males; 38 females; age 90-108 months) and to determine the relationship between BMI and walking distance. Method: Subjects walked at a normal, self-selected, walking speed on a grassy field for six minutes, after which distance was measured. Results: Mean BMI was 15.50 (sd=2.00) for males and 16.30 (sd=2.90) for females. Mean walking distance was 581.70 m (sd=58.10) for males and 532.20 m (sd=52.60) for females. The partial correlation between BMI and distanced walked with the influence of gender removed was .10 (p > .05). …

Medical Record Documentation: The Quality Of Physiotherapy Entries, Anna Phillips, Kathy Stiller, Marie Williams

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

This study evaluated the standard of in-patient medical record documentation by physiotherapists at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), Adelaide, South Australia, during 2003. The impact of patient characteristics (ie primary diagnosis and length of stay in hospital) and physiotherapist features (eg employment classification level and years of employment at the RAH) on the standard of documentation was also explored. One hundred medical records were randomly selected for review and 224 physiotherapy entries were audited. The audit tool was based on the RAH Physiotherapy Department Guidelines for Documentation, which was comprised of five sections. Each section contained several items, which were …

Acculturation And Breast Density In Foreign-Born, U.S. Chinese Women, Marilyn Tseng, Celia Byrne, Kathryn A. Evers, W. Thomas London, Mary B. Daly

Kinesiology and Public Health

The role of acculturation in the breast cancer risk increase among U.S. Chinese women is unclear. We examined the association between acculturation and breast density in a sample of foreign-born, U.S. Chinese women and examined factors that may explain such an association. Between January 2002 and May 2003, 212 Chinese women were recruited from Philadelphia region screening programs. Cranial-caudal mammographic images were classified into one of four categories ranging from ‘‘entirely fatty’’ to ‘‘extremely dense.’’ Questionnaires assessed information on sociodemographic, cultural, reproductive, and lifestyle factors. An index of acculturation was created based on self-reported English proficiency and within-and cross-ethnicity social …

Coping, Pain Severity, Interference, And Disability: The Potential Mediating And Moderating Roles Of Race And Education, Annmarie Cano, Ainoa Mayo, Matthew Ventimiglia

Psychology Faculty Research Publications

Researchers have demonstrated that certain types of pain coping are correlated with less pain severity and disability and that there are differences between Caucasians and African-American pain patients in their use of specific coping strategies. However, the extent to which racial group differences exist in the associations between pain coping strategies and pain severity, interference, and disability is unclear. Furthermore, the role of education in these associations is uncertain. We recruited a diverse community sample of individuals with chronic pain and their spouses to examine this issue (N =105). Participants completed the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, Multidimensional Pain Inventory, and Sickness …
