Computational study of NADH interactions with voltage-dependent anion channel
Creators: name: Chavali, Sai Shashank
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The Voltage Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC) is a mitochondrial outer mem- brane protein that serves as a diffusion pore for ions like Ca2+,Cl-, small metabolites and nucleotides like ATP, ADP and NADH, thereby regulating metabolic and energetic flux across the outer mitochondrial membrane. Previous studies have indicated that Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in its reduced form (NADH) but not oxidized form (NAD+) minimizes conduction through VDAC. However, there is no available non-conducting structure of VDAC, and the mechanism by which NADH modulates the channel is poorly understood. Here with the help of fully-atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we studied NADH binding to VDAC and its effect on channel dynamics and ion translocation. Simulations of VDAC were conducted using NMR structure of VDAC-NADH complex a) in the presence of NADH, and with NADH bound as in that structure, b) de-protonated in silico to NAD+ and c) removed entirely (apo) in the presence and absence of an applied transmembrane voltage. We observed a constant dissociation and re-association of NAD+ throughout the sim ulation trajectory, while NADH remained bound, reflecting a significantly lowered affinity of NAD+ for the VDAC pore. In the apo-VDAC system, the N-terminal loop dramatically changed its conformation over the course of the simulation, eventually approaching its conformation in structures experimentally determined in an apo-state. Under an applied transmembrane potential, we observed NADH chang- ing its position, but remaining stable in the pore. Our results are consistent with a mechanism in which NADH reduces conduction by partial pore block.

description: This essay will explore the concept of ethnicity in the stories and through the characters in the writings of Junot Di­az and Julia Alvarez. In particular, I will examine their critically acclaimed novels, Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) and Alvarez's How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), and how the authors' personal lives are reflected in these novels. Through the novels, I will examine the acculturation of Dominicans immigrating to the United States and consider how their narratives relate to the idea of a new Dominican-American identity. I will analyze how displacement, economics, and national expectations affect the characters' behaviors as they search for a new identity. Finally, I will evaluate, and corroborate with scholarship, the aspects of immigrants' former lives, and how their past and present ethnic identities have transformed with their attempt to balance both cultures, and establish an understanding of the immigrant and ethnic experience.
title: Histopathologische Vergleichsanalyse der pleomorphen Adenome der Glandula parotidea und des parapharyngealen Raums

description: Diese Studie hatte zum Ziel, das Wachstums- und Ausbreitungsverhalten von pleomorphen Adenomen in den unterschiedlichen Regionen der Glandula parotidea aufzuzeigen und daraus Erkenntnisse und Vorgehensweisen für zukünftige chirurgische Behandlungen abzuleiten. Dabei haben unsere Daten gezeigt, dass die pleomorphen Adenome des parapharyngealen Raums und die im Hauptparenchym der Parotis gelegenen, scheinbar durch ihre unterschiedliche Lage als verschiedene Phänotypen auftreten, histologisch jedoch zur selben Entität gehören. Unsere Ergebnisse könnten durch die geringere Gewebekompression und den höheren Grad an Expansionsfreiheit im parapharyngealen Raum, dem die in dieser anatomischen Region liegende Tumoren unterliegen, erklärt werden. Obwohl die chirurgische Entfernung von Läsionen in dieser Region vermutlich durch einen geringeren Abstand der Satellitentumoren zur Haupttumormasse etwas erleichtert wird, deuten unsere Daten darauf hin, dass diese Operationen nur von erfahrenen Chirurgen mit ausreichendem Kenntnisstand um das histologische Profil von pleomorphen Adenomen im parapharyngealen Raum durchgeführt werden sollten.

description: Hintergrund: Die autosomal dominante polyzystische Nierenerkrankung (ADPKD) ist die häufigste zu terminaler Niereninsuffizienz führende monogenetische Erkrankung und wird in einer Mehrzahl der Fälle durch eine Mutation im Polyzystin-1 kodierenden PKD1-Gen verursacht. In der Folge bilden sich multiple renale Zysten, deren kontinuierliches Wachstum durch Druck auf umliegende Nephrone zu einem Verlust der Nierenfunktion führt. Als gesichert gilt die Annahme, dass das Wachstum dieser Nierenzysten von dem second Messenger zyklisches Adenosinmonophosphat (cAMP) abhängig ist. Die Rolle von cAMP in der Entstehung der Nierenzysten ist jedoch noch nicht geklärt. Methoden: In der vorliegenden Publikation „Loss of Polycystin-1 causes cAMP-dependent switch from tubule to cyst formation“ wurde der Einfluss von cAMP auf die Organisation von renalen Tubulusepithelzellen im Kontext einer Polyzystin-1-Defizienz untersucht. Mit Hilfe von genetischer Modifikation mittels CRISPR/Cas9 wurde ein Polyzystin-1-defizientes Tubuluszellmodell etabliert. Die Auswirkung dieses Polyzystin-1-Verlusts auf Migration und Zellpolarität wurde in vitro in 2D-Modellen analysiert. Dessen Folge auf die Morphologie und das Migrationsverhalten von Sphäroiden wurde ergänzend in einem 3D-Kollagenmodell untersucht. Zudem wurde der Einfluss von cAMP auf die Tubuli von an Embryonal-Tag 13,5 entnommenen und ex vivo kultivierten Mausembryonieren untersucht. Ergebnisse: Der Verlust von Polyzystin-1 führte zu einem signifikanten Anstieg von intrazellulärem cAMP in den untersuchten Nierentubuluszellen. Der Anstieg von cAMP beeinträchtigte dabei sowohl die Polarität, das Migrationsverhalten als auch die Morphologie der renalen Tubuluszellen in vitro. In den Mausembryonieren führte der cAMP-Anstieg zu einer gestörten Orientierung der Tubulusepithelzellen. Schlussfolgerung: Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Verlust von Polyzystin-1 zu einem Anstieg von cAMP in renalen Tubuluszellen führt. Die dadurch verursachten zellulären Störungen bekräftigen den vermuteten Einfluss von cAMP auf die Bildung renaler Zysten, die sich von den bisher bekannten cAMP-abhängigen Mechanismen beim Zystenwachstum deutlich unterscheiden.

description: It has been recently shown in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 (2020) 041302] that microstate counting carried out for quantum states residing on the horizon of a black hole leads to a correction of the form $\exp(-A/4l_p^2)$ in the Bekenstein-Hawking form of the black hole entropy. In this paper, we develop a novel approach to obtain the possible form of the spacetime geometry from the entropy of the black hole for a given horizon radius. The uniqueness of this solution for a given energy-momentum tensor has also been discussed. Remarkably, the black hole geometry reconstructed has striking similarities to that of noncommutative-inspired Schwarzschild black holes [Phys. Lett. B 632 (2006) 547]. We also obtain the matter density functions using Einstein field equations for the geometries we reconstruct from the thermodynamics of black holes. These also have similarities to that of the matter density function of a noncommutative-inspired Schwarzschild black hole. The conformal structure of the metric is briefly discussed and the Penrose-Carter diagram is drawn. We then compute the Komar energy and the Smarr formula for the effective black hole geometry and compare it with that of the noncommutative-inspired Schwarzschild black hole. We also discuss some astrophysical implications of the solutions. Finally, we propose a set of quantum Einstein vacuum field equations, as a solution of which we obtain one of the spacetime solutions obtained in this work. We then show a direct connection between the quantum Einstein vacuum field equations and the first law of black hole thermodynamics.

description: The purpose of this project is to take a pragmatic look at some of the specific influences that the network of multi-media has contributed to the American public, and how 'cultivation' aligns with manipulation in terms of the prevailing messages that are expedited through selective media programming. This paper intends to pose the argument that some of the various content that is broadcasted and displayed across network media has an enduring effect upon its target audience. It will start off by discussing the background studies and critiques of Cultivation Theory (CT) research, highlight the main segments and the measurable impacts that correspond to CT, discuss the four realms of the multi-media environment (televisions, movie cinemas, interactive platforms, and portable devices) that allow the American public to gain has access, provide a brief content analysis by reviewing some of the agendas and stories that are currently portrayed and their plausible impact to sociological norms, and finish with asking whether or not such a powerful influence can be harmful while considering some of the possible challenges that might pertain to future research.

description: Multi-camera systems have been shown to improve the accuracy and robustness of SLAM estimates, yet state-of-the-art SLAM systems predominantly support monocular or stereo setups. This paper presents a generic sparse visual SLAM framework capable of running on any number of cameras and in any arrangement. Our SLAM system uses the generalized camera model, which allows us to represent an arbitrary multi-camera system as a single imaging device. Additionally, it takes advantage of the overlapping fields of view (FoV) by extracting cross-matched features across cameras in the rig. This limits the linear rise in the number of features with the number of cameras and keeps the computational load in check while enabling an accurate representation of the scene. We evaluate our method in terms of accuracy, robustness, and run time on indoor and outdoor datasets that include challenging real-world scenarios such as narrow corridors, featureless spaces, and dynamic objects. We show that our system can adapt to different camera configurations and allows real-time execution for typical robotic applications. Finally, we benchmark the impact of the critical design parameters - the number of cameras and the overlap between their FoV that define the camera configuration for SLAM. All our software and datasets are freely available for further research.

description: Fueled in part by fiscal challenges and structural shifts at the state and federal level, nonprofit organizations are increasingly relying on cross sector community partnerships to address wicked policy problems in areas such as community development, neighborhood revitalization, and health and human services.  Cross sector community partnerships (CSCPs) blur sectoral boundaries by integrating the activities and modus operandi of organizations from the public, private, and civil society sectors.  The literature on cross sector community partnerships has analyzed factors contributing to partnership success or failure, partnership growth, and more normatively, how crossing sectoral boundaries are an effective tool in addressing wicked community problems.  Notwithstanding increased practical and empirical attention, cross sector community partnerships remain poorly understood and under-theorized (Googins & Rochloin, 2000; Selsky & Parker, 2005), particularly at the local level.    Through a comparative case study of two New Jersey cities, this dissertation explores how local social, economic, and political institutional arrangements influence the formation and structure of cross sector community partnerships.  Interviews, content analysis of media reports and partnership agreements, urban histories, and organizational documents are the primary data collection methods.  Neighborhood and redevelopment plans provide additional data to develop the partnership narrative.    I argue that variation in local institutional arrangements create community specific cross sector community partnership structures in response to demands from government and foundation funders.  Several findings emerged from the study.  First, the role of business remains muted and transactional.  Second, nonprofits generally have an ad hoc internal vetting process to determine the viability of a partnership strategy.  Third, although local government actors are present in cross sector community partnerships, their participation is largely symbolic.  Finally, the role of nonprofit intermediaries is particularly salient, as they dominate partnership formation processes and structure.  Understanding the formation and structure of CSCPs at a more local level assists in identifying what structures need to be in place in order to implement more democratic forms of community partnerships.

description: ABSTRACT

Introduction: The increase in life expectancy, the increase of elderly people and the technological progress especially in the field of medicine, make people with disabilities (PWD) an increasingly large population group. According to data collected by Eurostat, almost 25% of the citizens of the Union (24.7%) aged 16 and over are people with partial or severe gradual need. According to W.H.O people with disabilities exceed one billion or 15% of the world's population. Although legislative frameworks have been established for the treatment of people with disabilities, they often become the object of social racism and unequal treatment by the whole.

Aim: The aim of this review is to investigate how people with disabilities are treated by the community.

Methodology: The methodology followed included a search for review and research studies of the last five years (2019 to 2023) in  PubMed and Cohrane Library databases in Greek and English language .

Results: After reviewing the selected studies it was found that only half of people with disabilities are working, while this ratio for people without disabilities is 3 in 4. The 28.4% of disabled people are at risk of poverty or social exclusion compared to 17.8% of non-disabled people. Only 29.4% of people with disabilities have a higher education degree compared to 43.8% of people without disabilities. The 52% of people with disabilities feel discriminated against.

Conclusions: In conclusion, the studies showed that the degree and nature of disability, self-esteem and character of people with physical disabilities affect social acceptance. People with special needs should be the social group with the highest unemployment rate and with the lowest income. Also, discriminations are observed in the educational sector. It is proposed to radically change the way of thinking, upgrade education, cultivate social consciousness and impose sanctions by the competent bodies in order to modify racist behaviour and eliminate prejudices against people with disabilities.
Accuracy of gender and ethnic labels and personality perception as moderated by prejudice

description: Prejudice has been of great interest to the field of psychology since near its creation, but little research has been done to examine the role of individuals' prejudice on the accuracy of their judgment of others. In this study, participants read eight short self-descriptions written by undergraduate students in a previous study. The self-descriptions were labeled as having been written by undergraduate students belonging to different gender and ethnic groups.  Participants then rated the personality of the authors on a series of traits. Each participant was shown two self-descriptions that were accurate in both their gender labels and ethnicity labels, two self-descriptions that were labeled with accurate gender and inaccurate ethnicity labels, two self-descriptions that were labeled with inaccurate gender labels and accurate ethnicity labels, and two self-descriptions with inaccurate gender labels and inaccurate ethnicity labels. The participants completed self-report measures of gender, racial, and general prejudice levels, as well as self-rated personality. Accuracy was assessed through the strength of intraclass correlations (ICC) between the participants' ratings and the self-reported profiles of the authors. Upon analysis of the data, the author failed to find support for the hypotheses. There appears to be no effect of having accurate gender labels or accurate ethnicity labels on personality ratings. Prejudice was not found to moderate this relationship.
Grunt work

description: Grunt Work is a work of fiction that examines working-class struggles to find steady employment in the ever-changing landscape of Southern New Jersey, specifically in the aftermath of the Great Recession of the late 2000s. The protagonist, Rick, works odd jobs to earn a living after work through his brother Jimmy's construction business has become inconsistent. However, Rick has remained loyal to Jimmy's promises of finding more work to keep the business afloat, but Jimmy's growing drug addiction and increasingly erratic behavior puts their relationship at odds. Meanwhile, Rick and his wife, Regina, are struggling to pay the bills, as Regina experiences difficulty of her own on the job as a waitress paying her way through nursing school. As the difficulties in their separate vocations mount up, Rick and Regina' marriage is threatened by the stress and turmoil of living paycheck to paycheck, not to mention being in their mid-30s with nothing solid or stable to fall back on financially, by way of ownership or inheritance. Grunt Work is set in Cumberland County, New Jersey, statistically one of the poorest, least educated counties in the state. The characters navigate a world that seems stifled in its growth, despite changing demographics according to raceâ€”it is small town life that wants to be bigger by coopting the values and feel of corporate America, which is at odds with the lifestyle of the area's inhabitants. Along the way, the painful realities of racism, class discrimination, gentrification, and corruption in city politics are encountered by the novel's characters, as they each seek to resolve their personal struggles.
title: Coupling methods of topology and shape optimization for geometrically exact design
Creators: name: Stankiewicz, Gabriel
Publisher: name: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: structural optimization; topology optimization; shape optimization; compliant mechanism

description: Structural optimization offers automated tools to design structures based on user-defined objectives and constraints. Various structural optimization types excel in specific fields of application, Among which, density-based topology optimization is the most versatile one and is capable of generating complex geometries without any initial design guess. Nevertheless, it lacks accurate and smooth boundary representation. On the other hand, node-based shape optimization deals with an explicit boundary but does not possess the capability to undertake substantial design alterations. A modification to the standard, explicitly meshed shape optimization involves the embedding domain discretization (EDD) method. EDD-based shape optimization offers larger design updates, simpler regularization and most importantly, the structure is represented in a comparable manner to density-based topology optimization. The objective of this work is to develop methods that merge density-based topology optimization with EDD-based shape optimization to create smooth, optimal structures that are production-ready without the need for an initial design guess, regardless of the geometric complexity. To achieve this, two coupling methods are proposed and evaluated. First, a novel simultaneous coupling approach is proposed by merging topology optimization and EDD-based shape optimization into a single problem. To realize this, pseudo-densities are introduced into the EDD formulation, thereby expanding the design space with a second set of design variables. Secondly, the widely-used sequential approach is modified to meet the requirements of EDD-based shape optimization, thereby streamlining the transition from topology to EDD-based representation, as compared to generating the standard, explicit mesh. The performance of the simultaneously coupled approach is evaluated for linear elastic problems. The sequential approach is typically applied to highly complex problems, specifically those involving geometrically nonlinear compliant mechanisms and piezoelectric metamaterials. The inclusion of an explicit boundary during the shape optimization process allows for the consideration of boundary-specific constraints. In order to enhance both durability and manufacturability, a novel formulation of a curvature constraint is presented, which is integrated into the sensitivity regularization method by means of a traction method. The traction method is adapted for the specifics of EDD such that it is formulated directly on the embedded boundary and addresses both sensitivity smoothing and geometrical constraints. Furthermore, adaptive domain and shape refinement strategies have been revised to improve accuracy in critical regions and at the same time lowering the computational effort.

description: This thesis investigates fundamental aspects of multidimensional (nD) aspects in the characterization of nanoparticle ensembles. Firstly, nD particle size / property distributions (PSDs) are introduced as tool for the meaningful description of nanoparticle ensembles. The conversion of PSDs into different weightings is illustrated to account for the effect of different measurement techniques and to ensure comparability of measurements. Additionally, the calculation of cumulative distributions in the nD case is briefly stated. The outlined techniques are applied to the - currently - most relevant case of two-dimensional (2D) PSDs using the example of gold nanorods. Consecutively, this example is used for the illustration of the effects originating from bin sizes, grids, normalization and probabilities. Isolines and the extraction of lesser dimensional information are introduced as-well. In practice, measurement devices are only able to record a limited number of particles, while ensemble distributions and the introduced techniques on the other hand are defined for an infinite number of particles (which is equivalent to smooth distributions), inducing the necessity to investigate the error introduced by this effect, which is illustrated in the subsequent chapter. Here, it is briefly discussed how the error quantities can be accessed and the required number of particles determined to approximate the underlying PSD with sufficient accuracy. In the third chapter the generalization of an existing measurement technique, the optical back coupling (OBC) is described in detail. The original OBC technique was used for the determination of 2D PSDs of gold nanorods via coupling of hydrodynamic and optical properties within measurement data resulting from analytical ultra-centrifugation (AUC) experiments. Especially, a technique to obtain the required hydrodynamic properties based on bead models is introduced, the contour driven bead modelling (CDBM). The extended OBC is applied to an example particle system, gold bipyramids, to determine the feasibility and error sources. Lastly, separations of multidimensional PSDs are discussed. Here the well-known basics of one separation step acting on a one-dimensional PSD are extended to the case of one separation step acting on a 2D PSD, which is extended to a two-fold separation acting on a 2D PSD. The gained insight is used to outline the general concept of an m-fold separation of an nD PSD. The techniques are applied to chosen 2D PSD examples for illustration purposes, as well as to the AUC measurements of a gold nanorod ensemble which was separated via chromatography.

Yet research results suggest that low-income parents fail to engage in their children's academic life. Consequently, K-12 schools struggle with the question of how to effectively involve and engage low-income parent populations. The struggle for schools to engage low-income parents is due in part to the lack of research on the ways low-income parents engage in schools and the overreliance of traditional typologies of parental engagement that are heavily based on Epstein's Framework of Parental Involvement (1996). Through a case study of The LEAP Academy University Charter School in Camden, New Jersey, this study focuses on examining the ideas of Epstein to determine if they are valid in the case of an urban charter school serving low-income families. This qualitative study explores how low-income parents engage in the academic lives of their children, examines how the economic and social implications of traditional typologies of parental engagement affect engagement levels of low-income parents in public charter schools, and details innovative strategies used by a charter school to garner high levels of engagement from its low-income parent population. Using literature on parental engagement, school reform, and theories of social capital, the study examines the creation of social capital in the form of education-related social networks among the LEAP Academy low-income parent population. This inquiry seeks to provide new findings and policy implications for schools that struggle with engaging their low-income parent populations, underscores a need for the augmentation of traditional definitions of parental engagement, provides evidence for the role community-based urban schools can play in the community development process, and identifies suggestions for future research.

description: No Stone Unturned is a collection of nonfiction essays that combine elements of travel, gender, identity and family. At their core, these essays are motivated by a desire to discover why we travel and what it means to be a family. Through a series of trips--ranging from the Jersey shore to California and South Africa (and many places in between), No Stone Unturned seeks to answer the question, "How do we become who we are?" While the essays are deeply personal, they are designed to resonate in every reader, whether it be through the poetry of description or a familiar situation in which others have also found themselves in. Why do we travel? What does it say about us? These essays will inspire readers to ask themselves these questions: How do we balance the natural world with the world that we spend the majority of our time in? When we've answered all of these questions about ourselves, who are we left with?

description: The global population has witnessed a dramatic shift towards urbanization, with over half of the world's inhabitants now residing in metropolitan regions, a significant increase from 30% in 1950. Projections indicate that this trend will continue, with urban dwellers expected to constitute 66% of the global population by 2050. Concurrently, the proliferation of urbanization has led to the emergence of slum settlements, where one billion people, representing one-third of the urban population, currently reside. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in Africa, where poverty remains a pervasive challenge. According to the World Bank, the poverty headcount ratio in Africa stood at 34.9% in 2019, with a poverty threshold of $2.15 per day (2017 PPP). This paper delves into the complexities of urban poverty and slum proliferation, examining the multifaceted factors contributing to these phenomena. Drawing on insights from urban studies, development economics, and social policy, it explores the socio-economic dynamics underpinning urban poverty and the spatial distribution of slum settlements. By synthesizing empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, it sheds light on the challenges faced by slum dwellers and the implications for sustainable urban development. The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions and policy measures aimed at addressing urban poverty, improving living conditions in slums, and fostering inclusive urban growth.

Professional development in self-regulated learning
Creators: name: Allshouse, Ashley
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: A review of the existing literature indicates a lack of high quality quantitative and qualitative research in the field of teacher professional development (PD), as well as a disconnect between teachers’ PD needs and their actual experiences. This is particularly apparent in the area of selfregulated learning (SRL), as such skills have been empirically linked to student learning and achievement. The current project was conducted to address two primary objectives. First, a single group pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a previously developed SRL PD workshop on three variables: (a) teacher knowledge of SRL, (b) teacher application of SRL, and (c) teacher self-efficacy beliefs. Second, qualitative data was collected through individual interviews with a small subgroup of teachers who participated in the workshop. The purpose of the interviews was to gather information regarding teachers’ reactions to and evaluations of the workshop, additional needs for implementing learned SRL strategies in the classroom, perceptions of the characteristics of a feasible and effective coaching model, and barriers to implementation. A total of nine teachers from a suburban middle school and high school participated in the three-hour workshop, and four teachers participated in the interviews. Paired-samples t-tests indicated statistically significant increases in teachers’ knowledge of SRL and application of SRL, but not in teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs for using SRL strategies in the classroom, despite a measured medium effect size. Interview data was assessed using classical content analysis. It is recognized that this study was underpowered in nature and lacked a control group, and these factors impact the ability to detect significant effects, make causal attributions, and generalize results. Implications for future research include the need for larger scale studies that include the use of a control group and random assignment to evaluate of the effectiveness of PD programs on teachers’ knowledge, authentic skill implementation, and self-efficacy.

Examining the knowledge and training of clinicians treating Tourette Syndrome
Creators: name: Benson, William
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological condition consisting of motor and vocal tics that commonly presents with psychiatric comorbidities.  Few studies have examined the knowledge of psychotherapy providers with regard to TS and its treatment.   The present study surveyed 88 clinicians with varying types and amounts of training and compared these variables with TS knowledge using a brief knowledge quiz derived from Marcks and colleagues (2004).  Significant bivariate predictors of total score on the quiz included participant age (r = .25, p = .03), how long participants have practiced in the field (r = .31, p = .01), confidence in treating TS (r = .30, p = .01), self-reported expertise in TS (r = .35, p < .01), a doctoral degree (r = .47, p < .01), awareness of national TS organizations (r = .39, p < .01), awareness of local TS organizations (r = .27, p = .01), awareness of Habit Reversal Training (HRT; r = .43, p < .01), and past professional development activities related to TS (i.e. internet research, reading books on TS, attending workshops; r = .37, p < .01).  In a hierarchical linear regression model, a doctoral degree was found to be the strongest predictor of knowledge.  Implications for consumers of therapy and clinical training organizations are discussed.
