Augmented multitouch interaction provides a better user experience, but requires the integration of other input sources, e.g., a digital pen, each featuring an own API. Our approach to a multitouch table is realized as a service-oriented architecture combining these different aspects under the hood of a common API. Their use make our table work with a variety of input devices and offer the oppo...

Abstract In this study, a facile co-modification of dopamine (DA) and methylphenyldimethoxysilane (MPDS) was utilized to functionalize barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) nanoparticles with organic functional film. With the film coated on surface BaTiO , compatibility between PEN matrix greatly enhanced, which led promotion in thermal dielectric properties. Results indicated that glass transition temper...

We look at the quadratic forms generated by the Low-order Central Moments UpWrite of pen-opposed stroke pairs.

In the title compound, {[Cu 2 (C 10 H 8 O 4 ) 14 N )]·5H O} n , Cu II cations are coordinated in a square-pyramidal fashion, with four 3-(2-carboxyphenyl)propionate (cpp) carboxylate O-atom donors basal plane, along an N-atom donor from -[2-(pyridin-3-ylamino)ethyl]nicotinamide (pen) ligand apical position. [Cu ] coordination polymer layer motifs embedded {Cu (OCO) } paddlewheel clusters thereb...

PURPOSE Results of the MENTORED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IMPACT PROGRAM℠ (MQIIP) on Ensuring Insulin Pen Safety in Hospitals, which was part of an ASHP educational initiative aimed at ensuring the safe use of insulin pens in hospitals, are described. METHODS During this ASHP initiative, which also included continuing-education activities and Web-based resources, distance mentoring by pharmacists w...

Two experiments were conducted during a growout of male and female white pheasants to evaluate brooding space needed the first 6 wk and appropriate phase feeding strategies in the growing-finishing stages of growth. One-day-old chicks were placed into brooder pens with stocking rates of 150, 200 or 250 chicks/pen. Individual body weight and feed conversions for each pen were measured at 3 and 6...

In most animal growth experiments, groups of animals are housed within a pen. Occasionally, an individual animal shows a very different growth rate than its pen mates or dies during the experiment. When this happens, if pen feed intake (PFI) cannot be reestimated for the calculation of ADFI and feed efficiency, an observation will be lost from the data set. Therefore, we propose a model to esti...

Background & aim: Considering the important role of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of birth and its relation with sociocultural beliefs, this study was conducted to explore the factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of birth in women residing in Neyshabour, Iran. Methods:</stro...

The γ-secretase complex catalyzes the final cleavage step of amyloid β-protein precursor (APP) to generate amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, a pathogenic component of senile plaques in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Recent studies have shown that presenilin enhancer-2 (Pen-2), presenilin (PS, including PS1 and PS2), nicastrin, and anterior pharynx-defective 1 are essential components of ...

More effective strategies for addressing health issues in African American communities are needed. As part of a three year NIH funded Project Export grant, this communitycampus partnership used community-based participatory research principles and the PEN-3 Cultural Framework to develop a culturally specific, locally relevant intervention to prevent Diabetes among African-Americans. A comprehen...
