Bibliometric and usage-based analyses and tools highlight the value of information about scholarship contained within the network of authors, articles and usage data. Less progress has been made on populating and using the author side of this network than the article side, in part because of the difficulty of unambiguously identifying authors. I briefly review a sample of author identifier sche...

Objective: To assess the interest of out-of-treatment methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men (MSM) seen at public health STD clinics in an intervention specifically targeting their drug use. Study Design: An anonymous, self-administered survey of MSM who use methamphetamine attending public health STD clinics in Seattle and San Francisco. Results: Among 174 men surveyed, 36% reported b...

Leaflets inside pharmaceutical packages should include focal points about medicines being used by patients. The current study was designed to assess the compliance of information cited in herbal medicine leaflets with the standards released by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran (MHMEI). Leaflets of commonly used herbal pharmaceutical products sold in pharmacies of Iran were co...

Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family and can cause a septicemia disease in poultry. The synonymous codon usage patterns of bacteria reflect a series of evolutionary changes that enable bacteria to improve tolerance of the various environments. We detailed the codon usage patterns of RA isolates from the available 12 sequenced genomes by multiple codon and statis...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to measure hearing aid satisfaction and usage for extended periods of time, up to 2 yr after hearing aid delivery, to determine whether longitudinal changes occur in the elderly for these outcome measures. DESIGN A longitudinal study of hearing aid satisfaction and usage was performed in a group comprised of 134 elderly hearing aid wearers with these ...

In the presence of significant and consistent non-gravitational accelerations, accelerometer measurements are often used in lieu of analytical expressions to propagate the state of aerospace vehicles in model-based estimation algorithms such as the Kalman filter [1, 2]. In space applications, accelerometers are often used to propagate the state of the vehicle through a translational maneuver, o...
