Adoption of improved agricultural technologies has long been recognized as critical for reducing poverty through increased productivity, incomes, and asset accumulation. Using a nationally representative survey data from a sample of over 1500 households in Nigeria, this paper evaluates...

Carotid Artery Stiffness Mechanisms Associated With Cardiovascular Disease Events and Incident Hypertension: the MESA.

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979)

Pewowaruk RJ, Korcarz C, Tedla Y, Burke G, Greenland P, Wu C, Gepner AD.
PMID: 35021857
Hypertension. 2022 Jan 13;HYPERTENSIONAHA12118772. doi: 10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.121.18772. Epub 2022 Jan 13.

BACKGROUND: Elastic arteries stiffen via 2 main mechanisms: (1) load-dependent stiffening from higher blood pressure and (2) structural stiffening due to changes in the vessel wall. It is unknown how these different mechanisms contribute to incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)...

BACKGROUND: There are increasingly prevalent formal educational programs for physicians who seek to be better trained to advance their fields. Although higher education and advanced degrees are not necessarily linked to leadership, we hypothesize that leaders in plastic surgery...

Spectral characterization of acousto-optic filters used in imaging spectroscopy.

Applied optics

Georgiev G, Glenar DA, Hillman JJ.
PMID: 11900437
Appl Opt. 2002 Jan 01;41(1):209-17. doi: 10.1364/ao.41.000209.

The purpose of this investigation is to improve the study of the characteristics of noncollinear acoustooptic tunable filters (AOTFs) used in imaging spectroscopy. Three filters were characterized and the results compared with tuning models to verify that device operation...

Using a Low-Fidelity Simulation to Enhance Cultural Awareness and Emotional Intelligence in Nursing Students.

Nursing education perspectives

Glenn AD, Claman F.
PMID: 31860495
