Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that this substitution slowed down the hydration reaction and reduced the heat release, which improved the cement's mechanical strength by decreasing non-hydrated MgO and delaying Mg(OH) formation.
- * The research indicated that higher porosity from DL use aids in carbon dioxide diffusion and promotes magnesium carbonate formation, making DL a valuable mineral filler for environmentally friendly MOS cement with enhanced properties over time.
This study is the first to apply the theoretical principles of Malcolm Knowles' theory of andragogy to evaluate data collected from learners who participated in team science training workshops in a biomedical research setting. Briefly, andragogy includes six principles: the learner's self-concept, the role of experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, the learner's need to know, and intrinsic motivation. Using an embedded study design, the primary focus was on qualitative data, with quantitative data complementing the qualitative findings.

We comprehensively examined OSA symptoms and their relationships to stroke incidence by race/ethnicity.
Methods: Data were collected from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, a population-based cohort of Black and White individuals in the United States.
Background: Poor sleep hygiene persists in college students today, despite its heavy implications on adolescent development and academic performance. Although sleep patterns in undergraduates have been broadly investigated, no study has exclusively assessed the sleep patterns of premedical undergraduate students. A gap also exists in the knowledge of how students perceive their sleep patterns compared to their actual sleep patterns.

Methods: To determine whether the risk for OSA, a history of OSA, and/or treatment of OSA has a different association with incident cognitive impairment or cognitive decline in Black individuals and White individuals; data from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) was used. Participants that completed the sleep questionnaire module, had baseline cognitive assessment, and at least one cognitive assessment during follow-up were included.
