The charge density in α-Al2O3 has been refined with respect to X-ray structure factors [complete spheres for both Mo Kα and Ag radiations (sin θ/λ)max = 1.19 1.495 Å-1 respectively] electric-field gradient tensors at atomic sites, using Hirshfeld- type deformation functions. Atomic charges from a κ refinement are + 1.32 (5) Al -0.88 (8) e O. distribution of O is polarized towards the four neighbours, metal-metal bonds clearly absent.

Urban teens face many traumas, with implications for potential growth and distress. This study examined traumatic events, posttraumatic growth, emotional distress over 18 months among urban adolescent girls (N = 328). Objectives were to (a) describe types of (b) determine how type timing events relate profiles (c) prospectively examine effects event on short- long-term controls pre-event Results indicate that was related but not subsequent When baseline controlled, associated reductions in...
We compared an evidence-based model of group prenatal care to traditional individual on birth, neonatal, and reproductive health outcomes.We performed a multisite cluster randomized controlled trial in 14 centers New York City (2008-2012). analyzed 1148 pregnant women aged 21 years, at less than 24 weeks gestation, not high obstetrical risk. assessed outcomes via medical records surveys.In intention-to-treat analyses, intervention sites were significantly likely have infants small for...
Racial/ethnic disparities in birth weight persist within the USA. The purpose of this study is to examine association between maternal everyday discrimination and infant among young, urban women color as well mediators (depressive symptoms, pregnancy distress, symptoms) moderators (age, race/ethnicity, attributions discrimination) association. A total 420 participated (14–21 years old; 62 % Latina, 38 Black), completing measures during their second trimester third trimester. Birth was...
Bladder health in women and girls is poorly understood, part, due to absence of a definition for clinical or research purposes. This article describes the process used by National Institutes Health funded transdisciplinary team (The Prevention Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms [PLUS] Consortium) develop bladder health.The PLUS Consortium identified currently accepted lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) outlined elements storage emptying functions bladder. Consistent with World Organization's...
Abstract In two experiments, we examined whether 14‐month‐olds understand the subjective nature of gaze. first experiment, infants observed an experimenter express happiness as she looked inside a container that either contained toy (reliable looker condition) or was empty (unreliable condition). Then, had to follow same experimenter's gaze target object located behind in front barrier. Infants reliable condition followed barrier more often than unreliable condition, whereas both groups...
The compounds Ru6C(CO)17 and Ru6C(CO)14(arene)(arene = Me3C6H3, m-Me2C6H4, or MeC6H5) have been prepared by the reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with appropriate arene. parent carbonyl has also heating under reflux in n-octane n-nonane. hydrides H2Ru4(CO)13 β-H4Ru4(CO)12 were products this indicating that hydrogen abstraction from alkane occurred.

Aims The Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium was established by the National Institutes Health in 2015 to expand research beyond detection and treatment lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) promotion preservation bladder health prevention LUTS girls women. While many multi‐disciplinary scientific networks focus on pelvic floor dysfunction LUTS, PLUS stands alone its prevention. This article describes approach developing a conceptual framework guide...
This study of 411 urban female adolescents had 3 objectives: (a) assess the relationship between perceived risk and sexual behavior (condom use, number partners, partner risk, presence STDs, aggregate risk), (b) accuracy perceptions, (c) identify variables related to inaccurate perceptions. Participants were classified as accurate or perceivers on basis actual risk. Accurate versus compared psychological maintenance (self-esteem, distress, coping), context (partnership duration pressure have...
Group prenatal care is a promising strategy to improve perinatal outcomes. Research in larger more diverse populations with attention adherence needed inform clinical practice recommendations. We examined the impact of group on preterm birth and low weight large metropolitan hospital, accounting for patient adherence, over an 8.5-year period.We analyzed data from 9,348 pregnant women live, singleton who received (CenteringPregnancy or Expect With Me) individual at Vanderbilt University...
We aimed to contribute growing research and theory suggesting the importance of examining patterns change over time critical life periods fully understand effects discrimination on health, with a focus period pregnancy postpartum mental health outcomes.
This applied paper is intended to serve as a “how to” guide for public health researchers, practitioners, and policy makers who are interested in building conceptual models convey their ideas diverse audiences. Conceptual can provide visual representation of specific research questions. They also show key components programs, practices, policies designed promote health. may improved guidance prevention intervention efforts if they based on frameworks that integrate social ecological...
This study examines trajectories and correlates of emotional distress symptoms in pregnant adolescents (n = 203) nulliparous 188) from economically disadvantaged communities over an 18-month period. For both groups, the prevalence significant exceeded expectation based on adolescent norms; however, severity did not differ between 2 groups. Results growth curve modeling revealed a decline during period for but experienced different pattern decline. Also, certain interpersonal factors (e.g.,...
Abstract Group prenatal care improves perinatal outcomes, but implementing this complex model places substantial demands on settings designed for individual care. To describe perceived barriers and facilitators to sustaining CenteringPregnancy Plus (CP+) group care, 24 in‐depth interviews were conducted with 22 clinicians, staff, administrators, study personnel in six of the 14 sites a randomized trial model. All served low‐income, minority women. Sites present evaluation selected variation...
Depressive symptoms are associated with preterm birth among adults. Pregnant adolescents have high rates of depressive and low treatment; however, few interventions targeted this vulnerable group. Objectives to: (a) examine impact CenteringPregnancy® Plus group prenatal care on perinatal compared to individual care; (b) determine effects gestational age pregnant adolescents.This cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted in 14 community health centers hospitals New York City. Clinical...
Despite biomedical advances and intervention efforts, rates of preterm birth other adverse outcomes in the United States have remained relatively intransigent. Evidence suggests that group prenatal care can reduce these risks, with implications for maternal child health as well substantial cost savings. However, widespread dissemination presents challenges, part because training systems not been designed to deliver a setting. This manuscript describes design evaluation Expect With Me, an...
ABSTRACT: Over several years our group has sought to synthesize and identify selective ligands for imidazoline (I) receptors, in particular the I 2 binding site. As a consequence, [ 3 H]2‐(2‐benzofuranyl)‐2‐imidazoline (2BFI) proved extremely useful autoradiographic studies. More recently we have synthesized BU series of compounds examined these their affinities both 1 sites. BU224 (2‐(4,5‐dihydroimidaz‐2‐yl)‐quinoline) shows high affinity receptors with K i 2.1 nM. BU226...
