Using data from the Older Adult Project within the Health Promotion Research Program at Northern Illinois University, this study examined four dimensions of health conception and their relationship to six dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle in a population of older adults (n=364). A battery of instruments was administred to all subjects to measure health conception, health-promoting lifest...

Many readers will be asking the obvious question of how the Sukhois stack up against the F/A-18A HUG, the F-35 JSF and possible interim fighters such as the F/A-18E/F. Against all three types the Su-30 derivatives, especially with later engine subtypes, will always have a significant kinematic advantage – there is no substitute for thrust in the kinematic performance game. There is another fact...

Purpose:Nuclear factor-nB (NF-nB)/REL transcription factors promote cancer cell survival and progression. The canonical (NF-nB1/RELA or cREL) and alternate (NF-nB2/RELB) pathways require the proteasome for cytoplasmic-nuclear translocation, prompting the investigation of bortezomib for cancer therapy. However, limited clinical activity of bortezomibhas beenobserved inmany epithelial malignancie...

In conversation, speakers and addressees work together in the making of a definite reference. In the model we propose, the speaker initiates the process by presenting or inviting a noun phrase. Before going on to the next contribution, the participants, if necessary, repair, expand on, or replace the noun phrase in an iterative process until they reach a version they mutually accept. In doing s...

Network (CISNET) The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications from domestic and foreign applicants to support collaborative research using simulation and other modeling techniques to describe the impact of interventions in population-based settings that will shed light on U.S. population-based trends. It is well known...

Rofecoxib is a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor that has been withdrawn from the market because of an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events. With a special focus on the arteries, the distribution profiles of radioactivity in rats orally administered [C]rofecoxib were investigated in comparison with two other COX-2 inhibitors, [C]celecoxib and [C]CS-706 (2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-4-methyl 1-(4...

Marketing techniques and tools, imported from the private sector, are increasingly being advocated for their potential value in crafting and disseminating effective social change strategies. This paper describes the field of social marketing as it is used to improve the health of the public. A disciplined process ofstrategic planning can yield promising new insights into consumer behavior and p...

Understanding of the space debris environment and accuracy of its observation-validated models are essential for optimal design and safe operation of satellite systems. Existing ground-based optical telescopes and radars are not capable of observing debris smaller than several millimeters in size. A new experimental and instrumental approach – the space-based Local Orbital Debris Environment (L...
