BACKGROUND Maternity care is an integrated care process, which consists of different services, involves different professionals and covers different time windows. To measure performance of maternity care based on clients' experiences, we developed and validated a questionnaire. METHODS AND FINDINGS We used the 8-domain WHO Responsiveness model, and previous materials to develop a self-report ...

This work addresses two transitions in material behavior: one, the initial peak in stress response associated with dynamic recrystallization and two, the rapid increase in grain growth rate associated with pore separation from grain boundaries. A criterion is derived that predicts the initial peak in stress response associated with dynamic recrystallization, and another criterion is derived tha...

Insects have evolved diverse methods of camouflage that have played an important role in their evolutionary success. Debris-carrying, a behavior of actively harvesting and carrying exogenous materials, is among the most fascinating and complex behaviors because it requires not only an ability to recognize, collect, and carry materials but also evolutionary adaptations in related morphological c...

OBJECTIVE How researchers' contributions relate to author order on the byline remains unclear. We sought to identify researchers' contributions associated with author order, and to explore the existence of author profiles. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Published record. PARTICIPANTS 1139 authors of 119 research articles published in 2015 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. PRIMARY...

We show that the nonlinear mechanical response of networks formed from un-cross-linked fibrin or collagen type I continually changes in response to repeated large-strain loading. We demonstrate that this dynamic evolution of the mechanical response arises from a shift of a characteristic nonlinear stress-strain relationship to higher strains. Therefore, the imposed loading does not weaken the u...

Polymers bearing dynamic covalent bonds may exhibit dynamic properties, such as self-healing, shape memory and environmental adaptation. However, most dynamic covalent chemistries developed so far require either catalyst or change of environmental conditions to facilitate bond reversion and dynamic property change in bulk materials. Here we report the rational design of hindered urea bonds (ure...

In addition to the paper, this supplementary material provides more insights into the novel-to-film alignment and the results. We specially focus on three aspects of the paper. Firstly, Sec. 2 presents a detailed qualitative analysis of the alignment methods, and also visualizes the ground truth and predicted alignment for our second data source HP (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). We fu...

Findings from experiments and particle simulations for dry and cohesive granular materials are presented with the goal to reach quantitative agreement between simulations and experiments. Results for the compressibility, tested with the FT4 Powder Rheometer are presented. The first simulation results involve the strain controlled uniaxial compression of frictionless polydisperse spheres in a bi...

results data analysis identified twenty subcategories and four main categories. main categories included barriers were related to laboring women, persons providing care, the organization environment and health system. conclusions the adoption of evidence based intrapartum care is a complex process. in this regard, identifying potential barriers is the first step to determine and apply effective...

the head bones and relevant muscles are important elements composing the feeding and respiration apparatus and can be considered as highly important structures for giving rise to evolutionary specializations. the eels of the anguilloidei is a diverse group and structural diversity in their cranial musculoskeletal system is thus to be expected. ariosoma gilberti is a member of bathymyrinae (cong...
