Multiple DUI recidivists pose the greatest threat to the safety of American roadways. A Poisson regression analysis was used to predict the number of self-reported lifetime DUI arrests using a large sample of those arrested for DUI in the state of Florida between January 1, 2007, and September 30, 2008 (N = 25,506). Each individual arrested in the state of Florida for DUI is mandated to complet...

Layers were fed diets with regular or 3 to 10 times more supplemental vitamins in an attempt to enrich eggs with these nutrients. Dietary concentrations of vitamins were chosen with the expectation of producing an egg with sufficient vitamins to achieve 50% of daily recommended intake (DRI). Eggs were assayed for all vitamins following a 90-d feeding period. There was considerable variation in ...

Hypertension is one of the most common causes of death across the globe. Many trials and drugs have been used for controlling the debilitating effects of hypertension. One such new class of drug is direct renin inhibitors (DRI), e.g., aliskiren, which block the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). It blocks the very first step in the RAS system. Multiple trials have been carried out debating the out...

This project is part of the DRI on Scalable Lateral Mixing and Coherent Turbulence that aims to characterize lateral mixing in the ocean on scales of 10m-10 km, the submesoscales. Lateral mixing at the submesoscales is not accounted for in present-day ocean models. This deficiency is a potential source of error in the numerical prediction of the distribution of temperature, salt, nutrients, phy...

Industrial and experimental induction furnaces are used for melting various types of iron ingots, returned scraps and DRI sponge pellets to produce high purity cast - iron and steel heats. The lowest consumption of electrical energy determined for continuous feeding operation is 0.3 KWH/Kg for the production of cast - iron in a 1.5 - ton industrial furnace and 0.45 KWH/Kg for the production of ...

BACKGROUND Few large doubly labeled water (DLW) studies have provided an objective measure of total energy expenditure (TEE) in free-living men and women. The committee that developed the 2002 Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) estimated energy requirements (EER) noted that DLW studies in adults aged 40 to 60 y were limited. OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe TEE and physical activity energy expendit...

We analyzed long-term sustainability of improved blood Phenylalanine (Phe) control and changes to dietary Phe tolerance in 11 patients (1 month to 16 years), with various forms of primary PAH deficiency (classic, moderate, severe phenylketonuria [PKU], mild hyperphenylalaninemia [HPA]), who were treated with 15-20mg/kg/d Sapropterin-dihydrochloride during a period of 13-44 months. 7/11 patients...

The long-term goal of the Capturing Uncertainty DRI is to assess and characterize uncertainty in the tactical naval environment. As part of the Seafloor Variability team, the focus of our effort is to develop approaches to characterizing uncertainty associated with measurements of bathymetry and other seafloor properties that are important for sonar performance predictions. We are also developi...
