This prospective study examines whether a patient medication instruction sheet (PMI) given to clinic patients by their health care provider affects knowledge and/or attitudes with thiazide diuretic use as part of an antihypertensive regimen. Adult male patients (N = 285) in a general medicine clinic were assigned to groups receiving the American Medical Association PMI describing their diuretic...

The shift from paper documents to their respective electronic formats is producing important advantages in the functioning of businesses and Public Administrations. However, this shift is often limited to the internal operation of each entity because of the lack of security in the electronic communication mechanisms. Traditionally, these entities have managed their Local Area Networks (LANs) or...

MIMO) enables single-layer transmission to several users who simultaneously share the same frequency allocation. In closed-loop spatial multiplexing (mode 4), one or more layers are transmitted using a precoder matrix that is selected from a predefi ned codebook. The precoder selections are typically based on channel measurements made by the UE. The precoders are applied to the layers transmitt...

The hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Aeropyrum pernix contains phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) activity. However, obvious homologs with significant identity to known PGIs could not be identified in the sequenced genome of this organism. The PGI activity from A. pernix was purified and characterized. Kinetic analysis revealed that, unlike all known PGIs, the enzyme catalyzed reversible isomerizatio...

Technologies which implement dynamic privilege management infrastructures will be crucial to the secure sharing of resources on the Grid, especially as the number of resources and participating sites increases. The DyVOSE project has successfully deployed Grid services secured with the PERMIS authorisation software implementing a static Privilege Management Infrastructure (PMI) model. The secon...

Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as base/subbase for road construction is alternative way to manage construction waste and reduces the need for virgin aggregates. This paper discusses the long-term performance of concrete pavements on RCA granular layer in comparison to concrete pavements on virgin aggregate granular layer. 18 representative RCA pavement sections across Iowa were primary...

The validity of the method in which total body score (TBS) and accumulated degree-days (ADD) are used to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) is examined. TBS and ADD were recorded for 232 days in northern South Africa, which has temperatures between 17 and 28 °C in summer and 6 and 20 °C in winter. Winter temperatures rarely go below 0°C. Thirty pig carcasses, which weighed between 38 and 91...

In order to cope with the rapid changes in the world, enterprises utilize project management methodology to globally outsource their works and to evaluate their internal and external work performance. Of all the project management techniques, Earned Value Management (EVM) is the major one that provides a method to evaluate project performance by integrating schedule and cost of work packages. E...
