PURPOSE This study investigated various factors related to wandering behavior of Korean elders with dementia (KED). METHODS A sample of 160 ambulatory residents with dementia from 14 long term care facilities was used to examine demographic, individual, cognitive, physical health, and environmental characteristics by comparing wanderers (N=108) to nonwanders (N=52). Subjects were evaluated by...

Abrtract The ethanolamine-containing glycerophospholipids, choline-containing glycerophospholipids, and phosphatidylinmitol fractions are major sources of arachidonic acid in murine mastocytoma P-815 cloned cells. The choline-linked fraction contained high arachidonic acid contents in 1-0-alkyl-2-acyl(18%) and 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ll%), with smaller amounts in l-O-alk-l'-enyl...

A genome-wide scan was performed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to gastrointestinal parasites and ectoparasitic keds segregating in the free-living Soay sheep population on St. Kilda (UK). The mapping panel consisted of a single pedigree of 882 individuals of which 588 were genotyped. The Soay linkage map used for the scans comprised 251 markers covering the whole genome...

Mapping of groundwater level observations often makes very little use of auxiliary data and is often undertaken simply by manual interpolation or ordinary kriging of the heads. Recently, a number of geostatistical methods have emerged that significantly improve estimates by incorporating the land surface elevation and groundwater flow or drawdown equations. However, at the regional scale heads ...
