Generalized linear models (GLMs) are a large class of statistical models for relating responses to linear combinations of predictor variables, including many commonly encountered types of dependent variables and error structures as special cases. In addition to regression models for continuous dependent variables, models for rates and proportions, binary, ordinal and multinomial variables and c...

introduction: emotional intelligence (ei) is considered a critical component of a nurse’s characteristic trait which is known as a significant predictor of a person’s job performance and life success. transactional analysis (ta) plays a fundamental role in nurse-patient communication and managing emotions during difficult dialect with patients. the aim of this review is to discuss the framework...

Quantifying the exposure of construction painters to mixed organic solvents is difficult in the face of a lack of industrial hygiene data, the heterogeneity of the solvents used, and the variability in work practices which influences the amount of solvents to which a worker is actually exposed. This report describes an attempt to derive an estimate of airborne solvent exposure using questionnai...

In a phenotypic screen of the wild-derived mouse strain MOLF/Ei, we describe an earlier and more potent toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated induction of IL-6 transcription compared with the classical inbred strain C57BL/6J. The phenotype correlated with increased activity of the IkappaB kinase axis as well as p38, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase or c-Jun N-terminal kinase, mitogen-a...

AIM To examine the effects of electromagnetic field with amplified magnetic component and local inductive hyperthermia (IH) on nonlinear dynamics of the growth of animal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Guerin carcinoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, sarcoma 45, Walker 256 carcinosarcoma and Pliss lymphosarcoma were studied. The animal tumors were exposed inside of loop aerial, 3 cm in diameter locally ...

Increased power and heat dissipation in microprocessors impose limitations on performance scaling. Power and thermal management techniques coupled with workload dynamics cause increasing spatiotemporal variations in electrical and thermal stresses. The coupling between various physical phenomena (e.g., power, temperature, reliability, delay) will be critical to microarchitectural operations in ...
