it is of no doubt that social media sites have become the most dominated subject in today life. however, the effect of those websites has widely disseminated not only into social life but into the business world as well. recruitment is one of the topics that have influence by social networking sites. previous studies have shown growing use of social networking sites such as facebook, twitter an...

Expression of E-selectin and P-selectin is critical in the effector phase of leukocyte recruitment in response to Ag. Whether their relative roles differ between tissues in response to the same Ag is unknown. In this study, a type I hypersensitivity response was elicited in C57BL/6 mice by systemic sensitization with OVA. Following local Ag challenge, endothelial selectin expression was examine...

In 2008, the Children’s Bureau published a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for Diligent Recruitment of Families for Children in the Foster Care System. This announcement identified a need for the development and implementation of national adoption and foster care strategies, data systems, interventions, and training and technical assistance to address the fact that “in 22 States, [there ...

Motor-skill learning can be accompanied by both increases and decreases in brain activity. Increases may indicate neural recruitment, while decreases may imply that a region became unimportant or developed a more efficient representation of the skill. These overlapping mechanisms make interpreting learning-related changes of spatially averaged activity difficult. Here we show that motor-skill a...

Recent findings have revealed age-related changes in neural recruitment during the processing of emotional information. The present study examined whether these age-related changes would be more pronounced for words, thought to be processed in a controlled manner versus relatively automatically processed pictures. Compared to young adults, older adults showed less amygdala activation, and more ...

Leukocyte recruitment requires leukocyte rolling, activation, firm adhesion, and transmigration. Injection of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha induces expression of E-selectin, interleukin-8, and other adhesion molecules and chemoattractants on the endothelial surface. TNF-alpha- treated CD18 null mouse cremaster muscle venules show increased leukocyte rolling velocity and reduced leukocy...

We remember a considerable number of personal experiences because we are frequently reminded of them, a process known as memory reactivation. Although memory reactivation helps to stabilize and update memories, reactivation may also introduce distortions if novel information becomes incorporated with memory. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural mec...

OVERVIEW Behavioural data reveal an inverted U-shaped function in the efficiency of prospective memory from childhood to young adulthood to later adulthood. However, prior research has not directly compared processes contributing to age-related variation in prospective memory across the lifespan, hence it is unclear whether the same factors explain the 'rise and fall' of prospective remembering...

BACKGROUND Cancer does not occur in all ethnic and racial groups at similar rates. In addition, responses to treatment also vary in certain ethnic and racial groups. For Hispanics, the overall cancer incidence is generally lower yet for some specific tumor types, the incidence rates are higher compared to other populations. OBJECTIVES Although disparities are recognized for treatment outcomes...
