Information Needs and Roles for Family Members of Dialysis Patients
Authors: Isenberg Karen Bandel , Trisolini Michael 
Published: February 2008

AbstractOBJECTIVEThe purpose of this research was to understand the roles of family members in dialysis care and to identify information gaps that renal professionals and organizations can address to better meet family member needs.METHODSTwelve triads were conducted with 41 family members. Triads explored caregiving roles and challenges, sources of dialysis information, and information needs across stages of dialysis care and a range of topics related to dialysis.RESULTSResources and guidance for nutrition management was the most frequently reported information need. It was also the most common challenge and the role family members most frequently experienced with dialysis care. Other roles included providing emotional support, medication management, and transportation. Results also suggested that the information needs of family members may change over time. Stages included: (1) understanding the patient's diagnosis; (2) managing dialysis and its effects; and (3) understanding the long‐term effects of dialysis.DISCUSSIONFamily members' information needs parallel the roles they play in caring for the patient, and these needs can change over time. Renal providers and professionals should acknowledge and address these needs of family members, whether they are new to dialysis or have years of experience. Informational materials tailored to or distributed during different stages of dialysis and greater access to family‐member support opportunities are likely to be beneficial.
Niobia‐Supported Palladium–Manganese Materials: Synthesis and Structural Investigation
Authors: Brayner Roberta , Villain Françoise , Gengembre Leon , Ammar Souad , Bozon‐Verduraz François 
Published: February 2008

AbstractPd/niobia, Mn/niobia, and bimetallic Pd–Mn/niobia materials, which are catalysts for the total oxidation of ethanal,were prepared by anchoring molecular precursors, Pd(acac)2and/or Mn(acac)2, on niobia before calcination at 400 °C and reduction by either soft chemical routes in liquid medium (Pd‐based samples) or at 600 °C in H2 (Mn/niobia sample). The structure of the obtained materials was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and extended X‐ray absorption fine structure–X‐ray absorption near edge spectroscopy. On Mn/niobia, Mn2+ is largely predominant, in spite of the high reduction temperature used for this sample, and it is mainly engaged in manganese niobate MnNb2O6. On Pd/niobia, nanoparticles of palladium metal (mean particle size 2.7 nm) are predominant, with a contribution of Pd2+. The surface structure of Pd–Mn/niobia is rather complex. Palladium is distributed between Pd3Mn nanoparticles and palladium clusters, and both are partially covered by oxygen atoms, whereas Mn2+ ions are engaged in MnO clusters linked to niobia.

Effects of temperature and perch diameter on arboreal locomotion in the snake Elaphe guttata
Authors: Gerald Gary W. , Mackey Mark J. , Claussen Dennis L. 
Published: February 2008

AbstractArboreality is widespread in multiple lineages of snakes and these habitats are important for foraging, escaping predators, and thermoregulation for many species. However, very little is known about factors influencing the arboreal locomotor abilities of snakes. Arboreal performance was assessed in a semi‐arboreal snake (Elaphe guttata) using an artificial perch apparatus. Locomotor velocity, body posture, and balance was measured during movement on three perch diameters (3, 6, 10‐cm) at three temperatures (10, 20, 30°C). Velocities attained by E. guttata on perches are much slower than those of terrestrial lateral undulation and swimming and somewhat slower than concertina velocities recorded in other species across the same experimental temperatures. At higher temperatures, faster speeds were associated with a more elongated posture. At lower temperatures, snakes displayed a more looped body posture, but still fell more often than at higher temperatures. Our results suggest that temperature has a large influence on both balance and movement by snakes on perches. Although there were no differences in velocities resulting from perch diameter, snakes fell more often from thicker perches. This differs from arboreal velocities attained by limbed vertebrates, which decrease with decreasing perch diameter, suggesting that snakes have a size‐relative advantage over limbed animals, such as lizards, when traversing a network of narrow branches. Future studies investigating arboreal locomotion among snakes that vary both phylogenetically and morphologically are needed to assess the potential benefits of limblessness in complex, three‐dimensional environments.

Effect of a CD‐ROM‐based educational intervention on resident knowledge and adherence to deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis guidelines
Authors: Baskin Cindy , Seetharamu Nagashree , Mazure Brian , Vassallo Linda , Steinberg Harry , Kerpen Howard , Mattana Joseph 
Published: February 2008

AbstractBACKGROUNDCD‐ROM‐based educational methods are not new to residency training, yet little is known about how they affect resident knowledge and patient care practices.OBJECTIVEWe evaluated the effects of a CD‐ROM‐based educational tool on residents' knowledge of anticoagulation and their adherence to anticoagulation guidelines.DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTSResidents in the departments of cardiothoracic surgery, emergency medicine, otolaryngology, internal medicine, neurosurgery, dental medicine, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, surgery, and urology at a university hospital participated in the study.INTERVENTIONResidents were provided with CD‐ROM‐based training on the proper use of anticoagulation based on the sixth ACCP guidelines for antithrombotic therapy. Multiple choice testing was carried out before and after the CD‐ROM intervention to assess resident knowledge, and resident compliance with venous thromboembolism prophylaxis guidelines was assessed via inpatient chart review by an independent committee.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESChanges in knowledge were measured via test scores and the rate of compliance with anticoagulation guidelines.RESULTSMultiple choice test scores of 117 residents increased significantly after reviewing the CD‐ROM (from 46.7% ± 15.1% to 77.8% ± 15.1%, P < .005). As a control, we administered the same test at the same 2 times at a comparable institution but without the CD‐ROM intervention and found that test scores did not significantly increase. Chart review revealed a rate of compliance with anticoagulation guidelines for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism of 75% before the CD‐ROM intervention, which increased to 95% after the intervention, an increase that was sustained for at least 7 months.CONCLUSIONSThese findings suggest that CD‐ROM‐based interventions might be useful not only in enhancing resident knowledge but also in improving the quality of care by favorably affecting clinical practice.

Conducting business in the Philippines: The case of FedEx
Authors: Pettus Michael L. , Mark Munoz J. 
Published: February 2008

AbstractDevelopment of international markets is crucial for firm growth. As world trade has expanded rapidly in recent years, strategic international expansion has become increasingly important. Michael Porter's Determinates of International Country Attractiveness model (“diamond”) has been the standard used to determine “where” firms should expand internationally. These determinants include (1) demand conditions, (2) related and supporting industries, (3) strategy, structure, and rivalry, and (4) factor conditions. Aside from the issue of “where” firms should expand, thinking through “how” firms should develop international positions is equally important in a successful expansion. This paper uses the resource‐based view of the firm to explain “how” firms should develop international markets and utilizes FedEx's expansion in the Philippines as an example. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Trust generated by aid agency web page design
Authors: Burt Christopher D. B. , Dunham Annette H. 
Published: February 2008

Abstract

Two experiments examined how material presented on an aid agency web homepage influenced perceptions of trust in the organisation. Experiment 1 manipulated whether the agency's homepage showed photographs of a crisis‐need, photographs of the crisis‐need and the agency's response or photographs of the agency's response. Experiment 2 held the crisis‐need‐response information constant, but manipulated information on the proportion of donated funds which the agency used to cover administration versus those used to deliver services. In both experiments the participants' dispositional (personality) level of trust and altruism was significantly related to rated trust in the charity. Analysis of covariance was used to control for dispositional trust and altruism, and found that the manipulations in both experiments produced significant changes in rated agency trust. The results are discussed in relation to designing aid agency web pages, and to encouraging individuals to make on‐line donations.

Counting your chickens: density and distribution of chicken remains in archaeological sites of Oceania
Authors: Storey A. A. , Ladefoged T. , Matisoo‐Smith E. A. 
Published: February 2008

AbstractIn an effort to document the density and distribution of prehistoric chicken (Gallus gallus) remains across Oceania, this paper presents the analysis of reported faunal remains from over 500 individual archaeological and natural sites from across the Pacific. We examined the presence and absence of chicken in secure prehistoric contexts and factors which may account for this, including human choice, taphonomy, the influence of other animals on extinction events, differential access to resources, and purposeful extirpation. This research highlights the need for full study of the large percentage (18%) of Pacific avifauna collections which have yet to be analysed, to clarify the range and importance of chicken in prehistory.

A computational study of the interactions of the caespitate molecule with water
Authors: Mammino Liliana , Kabanda Mwadham M. 
Published: February 2008

AbstractThe water solvent effects on the caespitate molecule—an acylated and prenylated phloroglucinol of natural origin exhibiting antibacterial and antifungal activities—are investigated both as bulk effects and considering explicit water molecules H‐bonded to its donor and acceptor centers. All calculations are performed at HF/6‐31G(d,p) level and the bulk effect of the solvent is calculated with the PCM method. PCM calculations without explicit water molecules show a change in the relative energy pattern, for which the five lowest energy conformers have only the intramolecular hydrogen bond involving the carbonyl O atom of the acyl chain and one of the neighboring OH groups of the phloroglucinol moiety (first H‐bond), whereasin vacuo, the 24 lowest energy conformers (accounting for practically all the population) have also the intramolecular hydrogen bond (second H‐bond) involving an O atom of the ester function (with which the prenyl chain ends) and one of the neighboring OH groups of the phloroglucinol moiety. Calculations with explicit water molecules show that the first intramolecular H‐bond is mostly maintained, whereas the second H‐bond is not maintained on competition with intermolecular H‐bonds with water molecules. Preferred geometrical arrangements of water molecules around the caespitate molecule are identified and the effects, on such geometrical preferences, of the presence of the two substituent chains are highlighted by comparison with the adducts of the parent compound. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A comparative study on low‐energy elastic electron‐NHx (x = 1,2,3) collisions
Authors: Brescansin L. M. , Lee M.‐T. , Machado L. E. 
Published: February 2008

AbstractIn this work, a theoretical study on elastic electron‐NHx (x = 1,2,3) collisions in the low‐energy range is presented. More specifically, calculated elastic differential, integral, and momentum transfer cross‐sections are reported in the (1–30)‐eV energy range. An optical potential composed of static, exchange, and correlation–polarization contributions is used to represent the electron‐target interaction whereas the iterative Schwinger variational method and the method of continued fractions are used to solve the scattering equations. Comparison of the calculated cross‐sections for electron scattering by these targets shows that the results are very similar to each other at higher incident energies. This similarity indicates that the interaction between the scattering electron and the central Nitrogen is dominant. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008
Schweißverzug, Schweißeigenspannungen und Schalenstabilität
Authors: Loose Tobias 
Published: February 2008

AbstractImperfektionen haben Einfluss auf das Stabilitätsverhalten von Kreiszylinderschalen und entstehen unter anderem aus dem Fügeprozess. Dieser Aufsatz befasst sich mit numerischen Untersuchungen von Schweißverzug und Schweißeigenspannungen von Kreiszylinderschalen mit einlagig geschweißter Umfangsnaht und deren Einfluss auf das Stabilitätsverhalten unter Axiallast. Betrachtet werden Zylinder und Zylindersegmente aus den Stählen S235 und S355 mit Blechdicken von 1 mm bis 4 mm und Radien von 200 mm bis 1600 mm.Am Beispiel eines Zylinders wird der Entstehungsvorgang des Schweißverzuges erläutert und der qualitative Verlauf der Radialverformung nach dem Schweißen gezeigt. Besonderheiten bei den entstehenden Eigenspannungen werden erläutert.Der Einfluss des transienten Schweißprozesses einlagiger Umfangsnähte auf die Axialgrenzspannung der Kreiszylinderschale wird mit Hilfe einer Parameterstudie betrachtet. Aus dieser Parameterstudie werden Gesetzmäßigkeiten für den Schweißverzug bei unterschiedlichen Zylinderschlankheiten ermittelt.
Piety as Politics amongst Muslim Women in Contemporary Sri Lanka
Authors: HANIFFA FARZANA 
Published: February 2008

AbstractIn this paper I argue that the manner in which piety is perceived and propagated among Muslims in Sri Lanka must be understood as located within the context of ethnic conflict and the polarization between ethnic groups that occurred in its wake. I explore the work of one Muslim women'sda'wa(preaching) group—Al Muslimaat—that pioneered the process of making piety popular among lower-middle and middle-income Muslim women in a semi-urban Colombo neighbourhood. Looking at the group's activities and specifically through analyses of thebayanor lay sermons delivered by their most charismatic member, I look at the nature of the pious practice that is preached. I argue that in making a self-consciously pious Muslim female subject, Al Muslimaatbayansare affecting ideas of masculinity and femininity among the suburban Muslims with whom they work, and recasting Muslimness in a manner exclusive of ethnic others. I argue also that by marginalizing the kafir in propagating the new Muslim, Al Muslimaat and the greater piety movement in Sri Lanka is mirroring the particular incommensurable identities already espoused by the violently strident Sinhala and Tamil nationalisms in the country.
Visible and near IR albedo measurements of ice/dust mixtures
Authors: Oehler A. , Neukum G. 
Published: February 2008

The surface energy budget is an important input parameter for modelling the dynamical processes of the KOSI samples. In order to calculate the absorbed fraction of the irradiation the directional‐hemispherical albedo of the samples must be known. The albedo is calculated from the spectral radiance factor in the wavelength range from .36 μm to 2.5 μm. All samples were analysed before and after the experiments. The spectra of the experiments KOSI 3,4 and 6 have been measured under three different illumination geometries.During the KOSI sublimation experiments a dust mantle 1 to 5 millimeter thick formes on top of the samples. This changes the spectrophotometric properties of the sample surfaces in terms of scattering characteristics and water ice absorptions at 1.5 μm. and 2.0 μm. Water ice absorptions observed after the experiment may be partly due to frost contamination.
