In 1998, a group of radical media makers and social justice activists opened the Independent Media Center in an abandoned storefront in downtown Seattle to provide street level news coverage of a large-scale mobilization protest against...
Various empirical equations have been offered to facilitate the prediction of the concentration of pollutants in different phases in the environment. Using one such equation, Brown and Flagg (1981), the predicted separation between the...
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), cognitive-behavioral stress reduction (CBSR), and somatic relaxation are all effective therapies for psychosocial stress. Exercise also reduces stress and improves mental health (SOR B, based on...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of music therapy interventions on selected social skills of young adults with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). Six dyads were formed with one young adult with AS (mean age ...
The following treatise is based on information that relates to the bow construction and its influence on the bowing technique of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This period is especially important because major changes happened...
Prior research on suicide has cited impulsivity as a risk factor, yet little is known about the actual relationship between these variables. According to Joiner's (2005) interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidality, impulsive people...
The community abundance and diversity of mRNA transcripts for sulfate-reducing prokaryotes were investigated in parallel with rate measurements of sulfate reduction activity in marine subsurface sediments of Aarhus Bay, Denmark. Solid...
Large-volume protein crystals are a prerequisite for neutron diffraction studies and their production represents a bottleneck in obtaining neutron structures. Many protein crystals that permit the collection of high-resolution X-ray...
The post-war World War Two years were an exciting period of theatrical history. This particular era was one of great theatrical activity and experimentation. American writers and painters were a part of the post-war boom that shifted the...
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a widely known phenomenon that affects many areas including the southeast United States. Over the southeast U.S. the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) ENSO index was modified to establish better...

Economic development is always a central concern for local governments, and has become increasingly important as the federal role in this area has been reduced in the last two decades. More recently, county governments have extended...
This dissertation is predicated on the notion that the concept of the Third Culture describes a dominant intellectual force in contemporary society and that literary and cultural studies thinkers must learn to engage it while maintaining...
The present study investigated the effects of an auditory distraction on the lexical semantic retrieval skills of ten monolingual English speaking children and ten Spanish-English speaking children between 3 and 5 years of age. The...
Due to shrinking federal, state, and local utility budgets, city management structures requiring more cost effect utility operating models, and ever more stringent environmental regulations requiring technical expertise, engineers are...
The relationship between anxiety sensitivity and sleep problems
Description:
Previous research proposed that there could be important associations between anxiety sensitivity and sleep problems. While there are few studies that examine this relationship, none of them account for the role of depression, despite...
Two major thrust systems are located along the eastern Blue Ridge â western Blue Ridge boundary in the Alabama and Georgia Appalachians. The pre-metamorphic Hillabee thrust is near the trailing edge of the Talladega belt thrust sheet...
Our lab was faced with a synthetic challenge during studies towards the total synthesis of the anti-malaria drug, artemisinin. Known methods such as the Aldol condensation, the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons and the Wittig reactions were...
The answer remains unclear. Nasal salmon calcitonin is effective for analgesia of vertebral compression fractures (SOR A, based on a systematic review of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). Although percutaneous vertebroplasty is...
The maize (Zea mays L) initiator-binding protein2 (IBP2) gene is known to encode a protein, IBP2, with promoter-binding activity. IBP2 also resembles telomere DNA-binding proteins from other plant species. Therefore, we investigated...
The presence of sexual prejudice in social work remains an ongoing issue as the literature in this substantive area documents its presence among both practicing social workers as well as social work students. Institutionalized...
