Juvenile justice staff endorsement of HIV/STI prevention, testing, and treatment linkage
(2019-09-04)Background: While involvement in the legal system offers an opportunity to educate, screen, and treat high-risk youth, research shows that staff attitudes toward these practices can serve as barriers to implementation. The ... -
Perceived importance of substance use prevention in juvenile justice: A multi-level analysis
(2018-05-15)Background: Youth under juvenile justice (JJ) supervision are at high-risk of adverse outcomes from substance use, making prevention important. Few studies have examined prevention-related attitudes of JJ employees, yet ... -
A model for rigorously applying the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework in the design and measurement of a large scale collaborative multi-site study
(2018-04-13)Background: This paper describes the means by which a United States National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded cooperative, Juvenile Justice-Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System ... -
Using Goal Achievement Training in juvenile justice settings to improve substance use services for youth on community supervision
(2018-04-30)Background: The link between substance use and involvement in the juvenile justice system has been well established. Justice-involved youth tend to have higher rates of drug use than their non-offending peers. At the same ... -
Life History, Fertility, and Short-Term Mating Motivation
(2018-09-19)The current research examines the impact of women's early-life socioeconomic status (SES; used as a proxy measure of life history strategy), relationship status, and ovulatory cycle phase on their desire for short-term ... -
Methods for Precise Submesh Allocation
(1994-05-05)In this article we describe and compare several recently proposed algorithms for precise submesh allocation in a two-dimensional mesh connected system. The methods surveyed include various frame sliding strategies, the ... -
Surface plasmon-assisted microscope
(2018-06-22)Total internal reflection microscopy (TIRF) has been a powerful tool in biological research. The most valuable feature of the method has been the ability to image 100- to 200-nm-thick layer of cell features adjacent to a ... -
CMOS Compatible Fabrication Processes for the Digital Micromirror Device
(2014-03-17)DLP® technology has been widely used in the display products since it was first introduced to the world in 1996 by Texas Instruments. Projectors powered by DLP® technology range from cinema projectors that light up large ... -
A Context-Aware Budget-Constrained Targeted Advertising System for Vehicular Networks
(2018-02-12)The emergence of self-driving automobiles has drawn great attention to VANETs, where vehicles can interact with each other through wireless communications. A variety of interesting applications thus have been developed to ... -
External & Intraregional Interactions of the Russian Far East: Comparative Assessment
(2018-12-01)This paper argues that East Asia is becoming an increasingly important trade partner for Russia due to the need of the latter to diversity its external economic relations. The Russian Far East (RFE) shares a long border ... -
Determining drug efficacy parameters for mathematical models of influenza
(2015-06-09)Antivirals are the first line of defence against influenza, so drug efficacy should be re-evaluated for each new strain. However, due to the time and expense involved in assessing the efficacy of drug treatments both in ... -
Genetics, morphology and diet of introduced populations of the ant-eating Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum)
(2019-08-07)Introduced species can diverge from their source population when they become established in a new ecosystem. The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is native to the western United States (US) and was historically ... -
Identification of a unique Ca 2+ -binding site in rat acid-sensing ion channel 3
(2018-05-25)Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) evolved to sense changes in extracellular acidity with the divalent cation calcium (Ca2+) as an allosteric modulator and channel blocker. The channel-blocking activity is most apparent in ... -
Protection Before Impact: the Potential Neuroprotective Role of Nutritional Supplementation in Sports-Related Head Trauma
(2018-01-24)Even in the presence of underreporting, sports-related concussions/mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) are on the rise. In the absence of proper diagnosis, an athlete may return to play prior to full recovery, increasing ... -
Targeted Acid-Sensing Ion Channel Therapies for Migraine
(2018-03-16)Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are a family of ion channels, consisting of four members; ASIC1 to 4. These channels are sensitive to changes in pH and are expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous ... -
Magnetometric Studies of Catalyst Refuses in Nanocarbon Materials
(2008-01-08)It is shown that magnetometry can be employed as an effective tool to control the content of a ferromagnetic constituent in nanocarbon materials. We propose a thermochemical treatment protocol to achieve extensive cleaning ... -
