This study explored how different types of consumer knowledge (exposure, subjective knowledge, and objective knowledge) predict perceptions (benefits, severity, barriers) behavioral intention to choose non-toxic housing materials products based on the extended health belief model (HBM). The target population was people 18 years or older living in U.S. A total 1050 valid responses were collected...

The biosynthetic pathway of hibarimicin (HBM) was proposed on the basis of the experimental results obtained by using blocked mutants of Microbispora rosea subsp. hibaria TP-A0121, the HBM producer. In its biosynthesis, the oxidative coupling of the aromatic undecaketide unit generates a symmetrical aglycon HMP-Y1 (hibarimicin-mutant product Y1), which is oxidatively modified to hibarimicinone,...

CAN J ANESTH 55: 2 www.cja-jca.org February, 2008 A 60-yr-old lady with HbM Saskatoon and congenital methemoglobinemia was scheduled for mastectomy. Clinical examination confirmed cyanosis but she had no symptoms due to methemoglobinemia and no history suggestive of cardiac or respiratory problems. Her electrocardiogram was normal and arterial blood gas (ABG) values on room air were: pH = 7.52,...

High bone mass (HBM), detected in 0.2% of DXA scans, is characterised by a mild skeletal dysplasia largely unexplained by known genetic mutations. We conducted the first systematic assessment of the skeletal phenotype in unexplained HBM using pQCT in our unique HBM population identified from screening routine UK NHS DXA scans. pQCT measurements from the mid and distal tibia and radius in 98 HBM...

OBJECTIVE Human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSC) are being applied in tissue regeneration and treatment of autoimmune diseases (AD). Their cellular and immunophenotype depend on isolation and culture conditions which may influence their therapeutic application and reflect their in vivo biological functions. We have further characterised the phenotype induced by fibroblast growth ...

Over the past few years, Bayesian models for combining output from numerical models and air monitoring data have been applied to environmental data sets to improve spatial prediction. This paper develops a new hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that combines U. S. EPA Federal Reference Method (FRM) PM2.5 monitoring data and Community Multi-scale Air Quality (C...

The development of automotive safety systems is moving towards an integration of systems that are active before and during an impact. Consequently, there is a need to make a combined analysis of both the pre-crash and the in-crash phases, which leads to new requirements for Human Body Models (HBMs) that today are used for crash simulations. In the pre-crash phase the extended duration makes the...

Human-based medicine (HbM), a form of psychiatry that focuses not only on fragments and constructs but on the whole person, no longer finds its theoretical basis in the positivism of the modern era, but rather owes its central maxims to the post-modernist ideal that ultimate truths or objectivity in identifying the final cause of illness remain hidden from us for theoretical reasons alone. Evid...
