In 2007, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care made an investment to support full-time employment for new graduate nurses. This paper describes the collaboration of policy makers and researchers in the creation and implementation of the Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG). We provide historical context for the development of the initiative and discuss some of the issues related to its ...

The hyperplanes of the symplectic dual polar space DW (5,F) that arise from the Grassmann embedding have been classified in [B.N. Cooperstein and B. De Bruyn. Points and hyperplanes of the universal embedding space of the dual polar space DW (5, q), q odd. Michigan Math. J., 58:195–212, 2009.] in case F is a finite field of odd characteristic, and in [B. De Bruyn. Hyperplanes of DW (5,K) with K...

Rotating outflows from protostellar disks might trace extended magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) disk winds (DWs), providing a solution to the angular momentum problem in accretion for star formation. In jet system HH 212, rotating outflow was detected SO around an episodic SiO. Here we spatially resolve this into three components: collimated aligned with SiO jet, wide-angle outflow, and evacuated cav...

Genome-scale metabolic reconstructions are typically validated by comparing in silico growth predictions across different mutants utilizing different carbon sources with in vivo growth data. This comparison results in two types of model-prediction inconsistencies; either the model predicts growth when no growth is observed in the experiment (GNG inconsistencies) or the model predicts no growth ...

GRIDs technology has developed from first generation, supplier-specific and configurationspecific systems through second generation systems providing metacomputing facilities over various underlying platforms. The 2.5 generation added facilities for fast data transfer (GRIDFTP) and directories (LDAP). The third generation embraced from the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) community the idea of s...

This study focuses on optimization and validation of an Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous analysis of 11mycotoxins: Aflatoxin B1, T-2 Toxin, Ochratoxin A, Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone in wheat matrix. Sample extraction and cleanup procedure is based on a single extraction step using acetonitrile/water/acetic acid mixture...

Bu araştırmanın amacı, otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanılı ve normal gelişim gösteren (NGG) 9-12 yaş grubu çocuğa sahip annelerin çocuk yetiştirme tutumlarının incelenmesidir. Çalışma grubunu, 90 NGG 70 OSB’li çocuğu olan 160 anne oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği (ABTÖ)-C Formu kullanılmıştır. analizinde Kruskal Wallis-H Mann Whitney-U testlerinden yararlanılmıştı...

In archived samples from the German environmental specimen bank (ESB) organotin compounds including tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) as well as their potential degradation products were quantified. Muscles of bream (Abramis brama) sampled in the period 1993-2003 from the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Saale, Mulde, Saar, and from Lake Belau (period 1988-2003) were analyzed by gas chromatography/at...

Historically, economic changes have negatively affected the nursing workforce in Ontario. The trend towards part-time and casual employment emerged from healthcare restructuring in the 1990s. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 alerted the Ontario government to the issue of part-time and casual nursing. In 2007, the Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG), a health human reso...
