There is little documentation about the recruitment process for church-based health education programs. In this study, the authors recruit African American, Latino, and white churches and women members (age 50 to 80) for a randomized church-based trial of mammography promotion in Los Angeles County. Efforts to enhance recruitment began 10 months before churches were invited to participate and i...

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors for the central neurotransmitter l-glutamate (Glu) have been shown to be present in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Sustained exposure to the NMDA channel antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801) significantly prevented increases in both alkaline phosphatase activity and Ca2+ accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner in osteoblasts cultured for 7-28 days in...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive cognitive decline and believed to be driven by the self-aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide into oligomers and fibrils that accumulate as senile plaques. It is widely accepted that microglia-mediated inflammation is a significant contributor to disease pathogenesis; however, different microglia phenotypes were identified along AD prog...

Prevailing theory claims that churches thrive when they overcome the free-rider problem. However, this paper argues that religious organizations need free-riders in a dynamic setting. If individuals’ contributions to congregations increase as their exposure to religion increases, then allowing potential members to free-ride temporarily may increase future membership and contribution levels. Fre...

and Applied Analysis 3 By the boundary conditions, the previous second term vanishes. The second inequality in the Signorini boundary condition (2) 3 tells us that we have to require that σ belongs to the convex cone as follows: H + := H + (div, Ω, Γ S ) := {τ ∈ H (div, Ω) : γ^τ | ΓS ≥ 0} , (7) where “≥ 0” means that ⟨γ 0 󰜚, γ^τ⟩ ≥ 0 for any smooth function 󰜚 on Ω with 󰜚 = 0 on Γ D and 󰜚 ≥ 0 on...

Let Pn = K[x1, . . . , xn] be a polynomial algebra over a field K of characteristic zero and div0n (respectively, div c n) be the Lie algebra of derivations of Pn with zero (respectively, constant) divergence. We prove that AutLie(div 0 n) ≃ AutK−alg(Pn) (n ≥ 2) and AutLie(div c n) ≃ AutK−alg(Pn). The Lie algebra div c n is a maximal Lie subalgebra of DerK(Pn). Minimal finite sets of generators...

BACKGROUND Use of technology is increasing in health promotion and has continued growth potential in intervention research. Guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, this paper reports on the adoption, reach, and implementation of Project HEAL (Health through Early Awareness and Learning)-a community-based implementation trial of a cancer...
