Abstract Recent scholarship suggests that groups who oppose acting on climate change have shifted their emphasis from attacking the credibility of science itself to questioning policies intended address it, a position often called ‘response skepticism’. As television is platform most used by audiences around world receive information, we examine 30 news programmes 20 channels in Australia, Brazil, Sweden, UK and USA which included coverage 2021 report Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change...

Abstract Purpose: To determine if there was a significant difference between the vertical marginal openings of cast restorations, computer‐aided design, and machining restorations. Materials Methods: Ten working dies were created from single master die used to fabricate ten restorations in each following groups: design/computer‐assisted (CAD/CAM), WAX/CAM, WAX/CAST. The CAD/CAM titanium fabricated using scanning crown design modules KaVo Everest system. WAX/CAM double scan technique with...
This paper reports on our experience with the implementation of Real-time Specification for Java Ovm open source virtual machine. We describe architecture and main design decisions involved in implementing real-time Ovm. present first use avionics context control software a ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
One of the most powerful features real-time specification for Java (RTSJ) is new memory management model based on scoped areas. This allows programmers to ensure timely reclamation and predictable performance, at cost an unfamiliar programming model. We report experience using implementing Our contribution twofold: (i) we give informal introduction semantics scope rules RTSJ, (ii) present a number design patterns effectively area API
The decision to initiate or maintain a healthy habit, such as physical activity involves trade-off between short-term cost, time and effort, which are commonly identified barriers activity, long-term health benefit. Research suggests that individual preference may be associated with unhealthy behaviors. However, empirical evidence of this for is scant. This study investigated the relationship how might influence behavior change. Employees (n = 176; mean age 42.2 years) who participated in...
Study Design. Prospective. Objectives. To measure lumbar spine motion segment stiffness and relate it to the degree of disc degeneration. Summary Background Data. The association between instability degeneration remains unclear. traditional method for determining at time decompressive surgery is a manual test performed by surgeon. quantify spine, vertebrae distractor was developed in authors' laboratory applying defined load constant rate. Methods. Lumbar measured subjecting cadaver segments...
Study Design. Prospective trial. Objectives. To test an intraoperative diagnostic tool to determine if it provided the surgeon with a safe, reproducible, accurate, quantitative measure of lumbar spine motion segment stability. Summary Background Data. Several devices have been developed stiffness, however, few tested intraoperatively on humans, and none, best authors' knowledge as extensively device described in this study. Objective criteria, such those by gauge, can be helpful determining...
This study investigated current trends of Iowa dental practitioners with regard to acquisition and utilization scientific information resources support decision making in the clinical practice dentistry. A survey questionnaire regarding various sources decisions was mailed September 2009 all dentists licensed practicing state Iowa. Dentists appointed full-time within University College Dentistry were excluded from this study. Continuing education courses most frequently utilized preferred...
We advance a recent comprehensive model of climate change risk perceptions by investigating the role media in shaping individuals' health perceptions. Results from national survey Australia (n = 1023) show that perceived risks associated with are related but distinct harm to self and society as measured previous perception studies. Moreover, full explains 47% variance 74% harm; While experiential processes (21%) account for about half risks, cognitive factors explain largest share (32%)....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations among several dental school admission criteria and measures achievement. Data were collected for 2000-07 University Iowa dentistry graduates, including five specific preadmission credentials achievement each student. Pearson product moment correlations or Mann-Whitney U statistics computed association ten variables with nine others. strongest correlation observed between predental science grade point average (GPA) overall GPA....
