This article summarizes the practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research in personnel selection. On the basis of meta-analytic findings, this article presents the validity of 19 selection procedures for predicting job performance and training performance and the validity of paired combinations of general mental ability (GMA) and Ihe 18 other selection procedures. Overall, the ...

PURPOSE To describe the outcomes of a nurse practitioner (NP)-facilitated group medical appointment (GMA) intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) clients in a pulmonary practice in the Midwest. DATA SOURCES Medical records from a convenience sample of six established pulmonary patients in a Midwest specialty clinic who received care in a group format were retrospectively...

An affinity monolith based on silica and containing immobilized α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) was developed and evaluated in terms of its binding, efficiency and selectivity in chiral separations. The results were compared with data obtained for the same protein when used as a chiral stationary phase with HPLC-grade silica particles or monoliths based on a copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) ...

The effect of the nanofiller chemistry on the mechanical behaviour of thermoset polymer matrix nanocomposites is investigated. The interaction between a crosslinked polymer resin and the reinforcing nanofibers driven by their chemistry is revealed by molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, crosslinked network systems of neat epoxy and epoxy-P(St-co-GMA) are modeled to discuss the effect o...

AIM: The main objective of this study was to assess the micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) a free bisphenol-a-diglycidyl-ether-dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) resin composite restorative material compared Bis-GMA-containing following application hydrophobic coating (heliobond). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A flat occlusal dentin surface exposed in total eighty extracted teeth that were removed for periodont...

Um dem zunehmenden Engagement von Studierenden in der Ausbildung ihrer Kommilitonen gerecht zu werden, wurde auf der diesjährigen Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Medizinische Ausbildung (GMA) in Graz zum vierten Mal der "Preis für Lehrende Studierende" vergeben. Hintergrund ist das weiterhin zunehmende Engagement von Studierenden in der Verbesserung der Ausbildung ihrer Kommilitonen z.B. in F...

Since its conception and development in the late 1940’s by Fritz Zwicky at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the “morphological approach” – or General Morphological Analysis (GMA) – has been applied to many diverse areas of study, from engineering design and technological forecasting to policy analysis, organisational development and creative writing. This article outlines the n...

BACKGROUND AIMS Endoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with Crohn disease (CD). However, a less invasive approach is now being sought for the management of these patients. The objective of this study was to examine whether (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) might be relevant for monitoring the disease activity in CD patients und...

Most of the composites and sealants used in dentistry are based on bisphenol A diglycidylether methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethylenglycol dimethacrylate (Teg-DMA). Reports revealed that in situ polymerization is not complete and that free monomers can be detected by different analytical methods. We studied residual Bis-GMA and Teg-DMA after in vitro polymerization by high performance liquid ch...
