To study a novel protein family requires a biologist to understand many different types of information. Moreover, the speed of discovery in biology has been expanding exponentially. And the public knowledge management platforms are not customized to a research project. It is often cumbersome. To overcome these obstacles, we have set up a knowledge management platform by integrating several data...

This paper explores the ethical obligations of a therapist as it relates to the disclosure of an infidelity secret within the therapeutic setting. The ethical obligations of a therapist involving confidentiality and equal advocacy complicate the decision surrounding disclosure of infidelity secrets to the offended partner. The literature investigates the consequences to the pair bond relationsh...

BACKGROUND While emphasis has been placed on practice management curricula in residency, studies indicate that residents are not adequately prepared. To assess the effectiveness of current practice management skills training in residency, we examined the confidence levels of family medicine residents and recent graduates in practice management skills. METHODS A survey was sent to family medic...

Identifying reading problems in underachieving students early in their education provides the best opportunity to provide interventions (VanDerHeyden, Witt, Naquin, & Noell, 2001). Understanding the risk factors which relate to reading difficulties can help identify those students in need of screening, tracking, and potential intervention. Poverty, family size, family structure, and birth order...

Information management training has been neglected in family practice in the UK in the past. An adult learning model for such training is introduced. A pilot study using the adult learning approach showed improvements in information management processes over the six-month study period. The research project described in this paper compares the effectiveness of on-site training using adult learni...

Bacteria can clearly enhance their survival by expanding their genetic repertoire. However, the tight packing of the bacterial genome and the fact that the most evolved species do not necessarily have the biggest genomes suggest there are other evolutionary factors limiting their genome expansion. To clarify these restrictions on size, we studied those protein families contributing most signifi...

This study examines the moderation effects of corporate governance provisions on the link between family involvement (i.e., family ownership and family management) in publicly-traded firms and firm performance by drawing upon agency theory, with a focus on principal-principal agency issues, and the extant family governance literature. We develop and test the hypotheses on 386 of the S&P 500 fir...
