Building the private practice workforce in the Northern Territory: Barriers and facilitators for implementation of the allied health assistant role.

Objective: To identify barriers and facilitators contributing to the successful implementation of the allied health assistant role in private disability practice to better meet population needs.

Design: A qualitative case study.

Setting: This study was completed with staff working in private disability practices in a regional context in the Northern Territory.

Traveling wave thermoacoustic refrigeration with variable phase-coordinated boundary conditions.

Thermoacoustic refrigerators exploit the thermodynamic interaction between oscillating gas particles and a porous solid to generate a temperature gradient that provides a cooling effect. In this work, we present a resonator with dual enclosed driver end-caps and show that the temperature gradient across a ceramic thermoacoustic element placed in the cavity could be controlled by modifying the phase difference of the drivers, thus enabling precise control of the refrigeration capability via the temperature difference. Through deltaec simulation results, the response of the temperature gradient to various dynamic boundary conditions that alter the time-phasing and wave dynamics in the resonator are demonstrated.

In situ measurement of damage evolution in shocked magnesium as a function of microstructure.

Accurate modeling and prediction of damage induced by dynamic loading in materials have long proved to be a difficult task. Examination of postmortem recovered samples cannot capture the time-dependent evolution of void nucleation and growth, and attempts at analytical models are hindered by the necessity to make simplifying assumptions, because of the lack of high-resolution, in situ, time-resolved experimental data. We use absorption contrast imaging to directly image the time evolution of spall damage in metals at ∼1.

Naturally occurring histological findings and Alzheimer's-like pathology in the brain of aging African green monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus).

Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are important to study the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disease and evaluate therapies targeting the central nervous system (CNS). Understanding the age-associated incidence of natural CNS pathology in a given NHP species is critical to assess the safety of potential treatments for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD). We describe background and age-related neuropathology in the St.

Trans-diagnostic determinants of psychotherapeutic treatment response: The pressing need and new opportunities for a more systematic way of selecting psychotherapeutic treatment in the age of virtual service delivery.

Numerous forms of psychotherapy have demonstrated effectiveness for individuals with specific mental disorders. It is, therefore, the task of the clinician to choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach for any given client to maximize effectiveness. This can prove to be a difficult task due to at least three considerations: (1) there is no treatment approach, method or model that works well on all patients, even within a particular diagnostic class; (2) several treatments are equally efficacious (i.
