OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of an elective course for health professions students designed to expose, immerse, and provide opportunities for mastery of the core competencies needed for interprofessional collaborative practice (i.e. teamwork, interprofessional communication, values/ethics, and the roles and responsibilities of other health professions). METHODS Undergraduate and graduate ...

Unexpected growth in medication use has escalated demand for pharmacists that has outpaced supply. Responses to the pharmacist shortage include larger workloads and greater use of pharmacist extenders and technology. As the profession has moved from a product orientation (dispensing medications) to a patient focus, clinical training requirements have expanded. However, structural and process ba...

Bounding the partition function is a key inference task in many graphical models. In this paper, we develop an anytime anyspace search algorithm taking advantage of AND/OR tree structure and optimized variational heuristics to tighten deterministic bounds on the partition function. We study how our priority-driven best-first search scheme can improve on stateof-the-art variational bounds in an ...

and anatase, but it does not sorb significantly to pure clay minerals or soil organic matter (Fordham and NorIn order to make sound decisions regarding arsenate contamination rish, 1979, 1983; Jacobs et al., 1970). Arsenate sorption in soil and water environments, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of arsenate sorption and desorption on soils and soil components ...

and the scientific community have been early adopters of this technology, guiding the development of new capabilities to satisfy the needs of applications such as ocean mine countermeasures (Alt, 2003; Schnoor, 2003; Eickstedt & Schmidt, 2003; Rish et al., 2001), seafloor survey for oil and gas exploration (Chance et al., 2000; Vestgard et al., 1999), and studying deep-sea hydrothermal vents (Y...
