A Randomized Trial to Improve Self-Management Practices of Adults With Asthma
The prevalence and impact of adult asthma are substantial, and poor self-management practices, especially failures to adhere to treatment regimens, appear to be a significant pr...
Astronomical calibration of Oligocene--Miocene time
Lithological cyclicity was observed aboard the JOIDES RESOLUTION in sediment sequences recovered from the Ceara Rise during ODP Leg 154. Shipboard work led to the conclusion tha...
Constructive episodic simulation: Temporal distance and detail of past and future events modulate hippocampal engagement
Abstract Behavioral, lesion and neuroimaging evidence show striking commonalities between remembering past events and imagining future events. In a recent event‐related fMRI stu...
Different pattern of codon recognition by mammalian mitochondrial tRNAs.
Analysis of an almost complete mammalian mitochondrial DNA sequence has identified 23 possible tRNA genes and we speculate here that these are sufficient to translate all the co...
Fitting Discrete Probability Distributions to Evolutionary Events
The assumptions underlying the use of the Poisson distribution are essentially that the probability of an event is small but nearly identical for all occurrences and that the oc...
Causal Variables, Indicator Variables and Measurement Scales: An Example from Quality of Life
Summary There is extensive literature on the development and validation of multi-item measurement scales. Much of this is based on principles derived from psychometric theory an...

MRI criteria for MS in patients with clinically isolated syndromes
In recent years, criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) have changed, mainly due to the incorporation of new MRI criteria. While the new criteria are a logical st...
Analysis of Clinical Methods Used to Evaluate Dyspnea in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
When dyspnea must be assessed clinically, there are three methods of assessment: the measurement of dyspnea with activities of daily living using clinical dyspnea ratings such a...
Temporal analysis of archived samples indicates marked genetic changes in declining North Sea cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>)
Despite increasing evidence that current exploitation rates can contribute to shifts in life-history traits and the collapse of marine fish stocks, few empirical studies have in...
