Factors associated with female chemist doctoral career choice within the physical sciences

Stem career programs

Dabney KP, Tai RH.
GSID: EqDZNjRP2L0J
KP Dabney, RH Tai - Journal of Chemical Education, 2014 - ACS Publications

Research shows that women are entering the field of physics at a faster rate than the field of chemistry through bachelor's and doctoral degrees. However, STEM studies primarily compare women to men or examine them as a single entity....

Specialized public high schools of science, mathematics, and technology are commonly viewed as the “crown jewel” of their respective school districts and, many times, of their …

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D predicts cognitive performance in adults.

Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment

Darwish H, Zeinoun P, Ghusn H, Khoury B, Tamim H, Khoury SJ.
PMID: 26346368
Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2015 Aug 25;11:2217-23. doi: 10.2147/NDT.S87014. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D is an endogenous hormone known to regulate calcium levels in the body and plays a role in cognitive performance. Studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency and cognitive impairment in older adults. Lebanon has...

XP-PCM Calculations of High Pressure Structural and Vibrational Properties of P4S3.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Pagliai M, Cammi R, Cardini G, Schettino V.
PMID: 26943701
J Phys Chem A. 2016 Jul 14;120(27):5136-44. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpca.6b00590. Epub 2016 Mar 11.

The structure and the vibrational properties of the P4S3 crystal at high pressures are discussed by application of the XP-PCM method. The vibrational assignment has been clarified. The structure and the electron distribution changes as a function of pressure...

Ecology and evolution

Willows-Munro S, Dowler RC, Jarcho MR, Phillips RB, Snell HL, Wilbert TR, Edwards CW.
PMID: 27231528
Ecol Evol. 2016 May 05;6(11):3721-3733. doi: 10.1002/ece3.2033. eCollection 2016 Jun.

Human activity has facilitated the introduction of a number of alien mammal species to the Galápagos Archipelago. Understanding the phylogeographic history and population genetics of invasive species on the Archipelago is an important step in predicting future spread and...

Expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and Ki67 in normal breast tissue in relation to subsequent risk of breast cancer.

NPJ breast cancer

Oh H, Eliassen AH, Wang M, Smith-Warner SA, Beck AH, Schnitt SJ, Collins LC, Connolly JL, Montaser-Kouhsari L, Polyak K, Tamimi RM.
PMID: 28111631
NPJ Breast Cancer. 2016;2. doi: 10.1038/npjbcancer.2016.32. Epub 2016 Oct 26.

Although expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and cell proliferation marker Ki67 serve as predictive and prognostic factors in breast cancers, little is known about their roles in normal breast tissue. Here in a nested case-control study...

Modeling Molecular Systems at Extreme Pressure by an Extension of the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) Based on the Symmetry-Adapted Cluster-Configuration Interaction (SAC-CI) Method: Confined Electronic Excited States of Furan as a Test Case.

Journal of chemical theory and computation

Fukuda R, Ehara M, Cammi R.
PMID: 26574410
J Chem Theory Comput. 2015 May 12;11(5):2063-76. doi: 10.1021/ct5011517. Epub 2015 Apr 28.

Novel molecular photochemistry can be developed by combining high pressure and laser irradiation. For studying such high-pressure effects on the confined electronic ground and excited states, we extend the PCM (polarizable continuum model) SAC (symmetry-adapted cluster) and SAC-CI (SAC-configuration...

CELLULAR MECHANISMS OF BONE REGENERATION: ROLE OF WNT-1 IN BONE-MUSCLE INTERACTION DURING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY39.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents

Colaianni G, Cuscito C, Mongelli T, Pignataro P, Tamma R, Oranger A, Colucci S, Grano M.
PMID: 26652489
J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2015 Oct-Dec;29(4):39-45.

Wnt1 is one of the several glycoproteins activating Wnt signaling, critical for normal skeletal development and bone homeostasis. Wnt1 was previously believed to solely regulate central nervous system development, in particular in midbrain and cerebellum. However, remarkable findings have...
