Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) bases the following position stand on an analysis of the literature regarding the effects of β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate (HMB). The following 12 points have been approved by the Research Committee of the Society: 1. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine that is naturally produced in both humans and other animals. Two forms of HMB have been studied: Calcium HMB (HMB-Ca) and a free acid form of HMB (HMB-FA). HMB-FA appears to lead to increased appearance of HMB in the bloodstream when compared to HMB-Ca, though recent results are mixed. 2. …

How Do Patient-Provider Relationships Affect Patient Satisfaction?, Rose D. Lightspeed Jan 2025

How Do Patient-Provider Relationships Affect Patient Satisfaction?, Rose D. Lightspeed

Anthós

This article reviews studies on patient satisfaction within the U.S. healthcare system to investigate how physicians’ behavior influences patients’ reported quality of care. Medical negligence, neglect, and cognitive biases are identified from the reviewed literature as physician behaviors that affect the patient-provider relationship and patient satisfaction. Emphasizing patient satisfaction and involvement in their care as important considerations when evaluating patient-provider relationships, Lightspeed underscores how the complex dynamic between patient and provider–including physicians’ reported feeling of inadequate interpersonal skills and patients’ sensitivity to dismissive communication–contributes to reduced satisfaction rates. Lightspeed argues that increasing physician awareness of these factors that influence patient …

What's The Harm In (Partisan) Gerrymandering? Collective Vs. Dyadic Accounts Of Representational Disparities, Sanford C. Gordon, Douglas M. Spencer, Sidak Yntiso Jan 2025

What's The Harm In (Partisan) Gerrymandering? Collective Vs. Dyadic Accounts Of Representational Disparities, Sanford C. Gordon, Douglas M. Spencer, Sidak Yntiso

Publications

Traditional approaches for documenting the harm of gerrymandering emphasize collective representation by legislatures, minimizing the relationship between individual voters and their respective representatives. Federal courts have struggled to map collective accounts onto cognizable constitutional harms, reflecting a discomfort evaluating a system of representation inescapably rooted in geographic districts using diagnostics that treat districts and their boundaries as an inconvenience rather than an intrinsic feature. A normative account of representation and accountability rooted in the dyadic relationship between voters and their legislators addresses the exact harms that courts have articulated yet struggled to substantiate. We derive a formal model of dyadic …

Editing Legal Scholarship, Michael L. Smith Jan 2025

Editing Legal Scholarship, Michael L. Smith

Faculty Articles

A consistent byproduct of American legal scholarship is legal scholars' relentless complaints about the system. Most critics overreact to the existence of student editors and the occasional rough edit, demanding that we burn the whole thing down. I suggest a less dramatic response by identifying several editorial tendencies that are consistently more trouble than they're worth and suggesting that reforms begin there. I begin with the text of the Bluebook, which supports a turn away from explanatory parenthetical overuse and the automatic et al.-ing of multi-author sources. I then turn to editors' overreliance on their journal style guides, urging the …

Operando Characterization Of The Reversible “Zinc Oxide – Zincate – Metallic Zinc” Transformations In Rechargeable Ni-Zn Alkaline Batteries, Chi Wing, Alex Tsang Jan 2025

Operando Characterization Of The Reversible “Zinc Oxide – Zincate – Metallic Zinc” Transformations In Rechargeable Ni-Zn Alkaline Batteries, Chi Wing, Alex Tsang

Department of Construction, Environment and Engineering

Rechargeable Ni-Zn alkaline batteries are of growing interest due to their intrinsic safety, high energy density, and environmental friendliness. To optimize the performance of the ZnO electrode in these batteries, it is essential to understand complex transformations that occur during charge and discharge of the reaction: . In this study, we employ a series of operando characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and online electrochemical mass spectroscopy (OEMS), to investigate the surface dynamics on the ZnO electrode. Our findings reveal the significant impacts of decoupling the chemical and electrochemical processes, resulting in hydrogen gas evolution, diffusion of anions …

Consumer Preferences And Willingness To Pay For Vertiport Design, Amenities, And Services, David C. Ison Jan 2025

Consumer Preferences And Willingness To Pay For Vertiport Design, Amenities, And Services, David C. Ison

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The rise of urban air mobility (UAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft necessitates the development of well-designed vertiports that align with consumer expectations. This study examines consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for vertiport design, amenities, and services to inform infrastructure planning and investment strategies. Using a survey-based quantitative research design, data were collected from 500 participants to assess key factors influencing WTP, including convenience, security measures, service efficiency, and premium offerings. Findings indicate that location accessibility, affordability, and streamlined security procedures are primary determinants of vertiport adoption. While aesthetic and retail enhancements contribute to passenger …
