Do nonphysical punishments reduce antisocial behavior more than spanking? A comparison using the strongest previous causal evidence against spanking
(BioMed Central, 2010-02-22)
Background: The strongest causal evidence that customary spanking increases antisocial behavior is based on prospective studies that control statistically for initial antisocial differences. None of those studies have ...
Terahertz two-cylinder waveguide coupler for transverse-magnetic and transverse-electric mode operation
(AIP Publishing, 2011-02-18)
We report the coupling and guiding of broadband terahertz radiation using a two-cylinder waveguide coupler. For the transverse electromagnetic TEM (TM0) geometry, the two opposing metal cylinders exhibit an amplitude ...
Modulation of redox homeostasis under suboptimal conditions by Arabidopsis nudix hydrolase 7
(BioMed Central, 2010-08-12)
Background: Nudix hydrolases play a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by hydrolyzing various nuceloside diphosphate derivatives and capped mRNAs. Several independent studies have demonstrated that Arabidopsis ...
Ultrasensitive terahertz sensing with high-Q Fano resonances in metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2014-10-27)
High quality factor resonances are extremely promising for designing ultra-sensitive refractive index label-free sensors, since it allows intense interaction between electromagnetic waves and the analyte material. Metamaterial ...
Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-09)
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past ...
Empowering language: A key tool in counseling
(Oklahoma State University, 2010)
Spatiotemporal representation of cardiac vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals
(BioMed Central, 2012-03-30)
Background: Vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals monitor both spatial and temporal cardiac electrical activities along three orthogonal planes of the body. However, the absence of spatiotemporal resolution in conventional VCG ...
Factors affecting adoption of recommended management practices in stocker cattle production
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-02)
Binary logit regression models were used to estimate factors affecting adoption of recommended management practices. Variables analyzed include aspects of farm structure, human capital, farm objectives, and production ...
Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid screening of ticks and fleas for spotted fever group rickettsia
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-02-01)
Background: The importance of tick and flea-borne rickettsia infections is increasingly recognized worldwide. While increased focus has shifted in recent years to the development of point-of-care diagnostics for various ...
Child ability and household human capital investment decisions in Burkina Faso
(University of Chicago Press, 2012)
Using data we collected in Burkina Faso, we explore how child ability influences parents' decisions to invest in their children's human capital. We use a direct measure of child ability for all primary school-aged children, ...
