Switching and Torque Generation in Swarming .

swarm on semi-solid surfaces with the aid of flagella. It has been hypothesized that swarmer cells overcome the increased viscous drag near surfaces by developing higher flagellar thrust and by promoting surface wetness with the aid of a flagellar switch. The switch enables reversals between clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) directions of rotation of the flagellar motor.

Brief Report: Mapping Systems of Support and Psychological Well-Being of Mothers of Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders are generally known to experience elevated levels of stress and poorer psychological well-being. To provide treatments and resources that most effectively support parent mental health, it is critical to understand how parents' connections with various networks and systems impact their well-being. This study examined the relationship between the psychological well-being of mothers of adolescents with ASD (n = 20) and their systems of support from an ecological systems theoretical framework.

Torque, but not FliL, regulates mechanosensitive flagellar motor-function.

The stator-complex in the bacterial flagellar motor is responsible for surface-sensing. It remodels in response to perturbations in viscous loads, recruiting additional stator-units as the load increases. Here, we tested a hypothesis that the amount of torque generated by each stator-unit modulates its association with the rotor.

How the web portal NHS Evidence will help nurses to make informed decisions.

NHS Evidence, launched in April 2009, allows everyone in health and social care to access the latest clinical and non-clinical evidence and best practice, to help them make informed decisions. This article outlines how nurses can make best use of the service and explains its features. From October, one of these is helping users to identify the best evidence by awarding an accreditation mark to the most reliable sources of guidance.

Pulmonary rehabilitation: analysis of a clinical service.

Background And Purpose: There is significant research supporting the role of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, less is known about real-life clinical rehabilitation services. Data were analysed from a clinical pulmonary rehabilitation service provided in the UK, consisting of seven weeks' twice-weekly training and education.
