Interprofessional team education is recognized as a key element in the 2016 ACPE standards.

Objective: Assess student self-perceived competence in four IPEC domains after an inpatient simulation activity.

Phylogenomic analyses in Phrymaceae reveal extensive gene tree discordance in relationships among major clades.

Premise: Phylogenomic datasets using genomes and transcriptomes provide rich opportunities beyond resolving bifurcating phylogenetic relationships. Monkeyflower (Phrymaceae) is a model system for evolutionary ecology. However, it lacks a well-supported phylogeny as a basis for a stable taxonomy and for macroevolutionary comparisons.

Acute Effects of Physical Exercise on Cognitive and Psychological Functioning in College Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

We sought to elucidate the acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) among college students with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants were age- and sex-matched across ADHD ( = 18) and non-ADHD groups ( = 18) and both groups completed baseline (non-HIIT) and experimental sessions (HIIT). We examined within- and between-subject effects on a continuous performance task (CPT) and self-reported ADHD and internalizing symptomatology.

Vaccine hunters and jostlers may have hurt the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

We examine how salience of extreme actions to gain access to vaccines affect general vaccine preferences using a survey experiment conducted shortly after a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines were made available to prioritized groups. We document that learning about people who jump the line (jostlers) or people who go through great lengths to secure left-over vaccine doses (hunters) is off-putting, and has a meaningful, negative effect on people's vaccine preferences. Most people, however, predict the opposite-that news about extreme behavior would help the vaccination effort.

Adverse Childhood Experiences in Autistic Children and Their Caregivers: Examining Intergenerational Continuity.

Although there is an urgent need to develop trauma-informed services for autistic youth, little research has evaluated adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in autistic youth from an intergenerational perspective. 242 caregivers of autistic (n = 117) and non-autistic (n = 125) youth reported on ACEs that they experienced in their own childhoods and ACEs experienced by their children, as well as measures of depression, stress, and child autistic traits and behavioral concerns. Autistic youth and their caregivers both experienced significantly higher rates of ACEs than the non-autistic dyads.

Short-term effects of the Auxivo LiftSuit during lifting and static leaning.

Back support exosuits can support workers in physically demanding jobs by reducing muscle load, which could reduce risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This paper presents a two-session evaluation of a commercial exosuit, the Auxivo LiftSuit 1.1.

Biomarkers of Animal Nutrition: From Seasonal to Lifetime Indicators of Environmental Conditions.

Nutrition underpins survival and reproduction in animal populations; reliable nutritional biomarkers are therefore requisites to understanding environmental drivers of population dynamics. Biomarkers vary in scope of inference and sensitivity, making it important to know what and when to measure to properly quantify biological responses. We evaluated the repeatability of three nutritional biomarkers in a large, iteroparous mammal to evaluate the level of intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to those traits.

Introduction: The risk of rollover crashes on mountainous roads is a major concern for transportation authorities due to adverse weather conditions and complex topography. Such crashes incur hazardous consequences on road users' lives. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the contributing factors that give rise to these severe crashes in order to identify preventive measures.

Impact of mountainous interstate alignments and truck configurations on rollover propensity.

Introduction: Combined horizontal and vertical alignments are frequently utilized in mountainous interstates in Wyoming. The roll stability of trucks on these challenging terrain conditions is of great concern for transportation officials. The impact of curve characteristics combined with truck configurations has not been considered in the literature due to data availability issues related to the weight and Center of Gravity (CG) payload height of trucks.

Phase Transition and Criticality of Methane Confined in Nanopores.

For the first time, the phase transition and criticality of methane confined in nanoporous media are measured. The measurement is performed by establishing an experimental setup utilizing a differential scanning calorimeter capable of operating under very low temperatures as well as high pressures to detect the capillary phase transition of methane inside nanopores. By performing experiments along isochoric cooling paths, both the capillary condensation and the bulk condensation of methane are detected.

Global lessons learned from naturalistic driving studies to advance traffic safety and operation research: A systematic review.

The state of practice of investigating traffic safety and operation is primarily based on traditional data sources, such as spot sensors, loop detectors, and historical crash data. Recently, researchers have utilized transportation data from instrumented vehicles, driving simulators, and microsimulation modeling. However, these data sources might not represent the actual driving environment at a trajectory level and might introduce bias due to their experimental control.

Photochemical protein modification in complex biological environments: recent advances and considerations for future chemical methods development.

The development of organic reactions that covalently modify biological matter in complex biological mixtures has become an invaluable asset in drug discovery. Out of the techniques developed to date, optically controlled chemistries are of particular utility owing to both the spatiotemporal control afforded by optical control as well as the impressive array of transformations that are driven by the highly reactive intermediates generated upon excitation. This minireview discusses recent advances in the development of photochemical reactions for use in complex mixtures and highlights key considerations for future photochemical reaction designs.

Dependence of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Alignment on the Filter Membrane Interface in Slow Vacuum Filtration.

The recent introduction of slow vacuum filtration (SVF) technology has shown great promise for reproducibly creating high-quality, large-area aligned films of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from solution-based dispersions. Despite clear advantages over other SWCNT alignment techniques, SVF remains in the developmental stages due to a lack of an agreed-upon alignment mechanism, a hurdle which hinders SVF optimization. In this work, the filter membrane surface is modified to show how the resulting SWCNT nematic order can be significantly enhanced.

The impact of covid-19 on the regulation of nursing practice and education.

In this manuscript, the authors collected state board of nursing data from sources including websites and letters from the State Boards to deans, directors, and chairs. Information obtained reflected changes to regulation of practice and regulation of education.

Multi-dimensional designer catalysts for negative emissions science (NES): bridging the gap between synthesis, simulations, and analysis.

Negative emissions technologies will play a critical role in limiting global warming to sustainable levels. Electrocatalytic and/or photocatalytic CO reduction will likely play an important role in this field moving forward, but efficient, selective catalyst materials are needed to enable the widespread adoption of these processes. The rational design of such materials is highly challenging, however, due to the complexity of the reactions involved as well as the large number of structural variables which can influence behavior at heterogeneous interfaces.

Detailed mapping of behavior reveals the formation of prelimbic neural ensembles across operant learning.

The prelimbic cortex (PrL) is involved in the organization of operant behaviors, but the relationship between longitudinal PrL neural activity and operant learning and performance is unknown. Here, we developed deep behavior mapping (DBM) to identify behavioral microstates in video recordings. We combined DBM with longitudinal calcium imaging to quantify behavioral tuning in PrL neurons as mice learned an operant task.

Electrochemically probing exciton transport in monolayers of two-dimensional semiconductors.

Two-dimensional semiconductors (2DSCs) are attractive for a variety of optoelectronic and catalytic applications due to their ability to be fabricated as wide-area, monolayer-thick films and their unique optical and electronic properties which emerge at this scale. One important class of 2DSCs are the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which are of particular interest as absorbing layers in ultrathin optoelectronic devices. While TMDs are known to exhibit excellent photovoltaic properties at the bulk level, it is not yet clear how carriers are transported in these materials at thicknesses approaching the monolayer limit, where distinct changes in band structure and the nature of photogenerated carriers occur.

Nuclear Transport Factor 2 (NTF2) suppresses WM983B metastatic melanoma by modifying cell migration, metastasis, and gene expression.

While changes in nuclear structure and organization are frequently observed in cancer cells, relatively little is known about how nuclear architecture impacts cancer progression and pathology. To begin to address this question, we studied Nuclear Transport Factor 2 (NTF2) because its levels decrease during melanoma progression. We show that increasing NTF2 expression in WM983B metastatic melanoma cells reduces cell proliferation and motility while increasing apoptosis.

Bovine coccidiosis is caused by apicomplexans of the genus Eimeria and results in significant economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. Numerous anticoccidial drugs are available for the treatment of bovine Eimeria infections. However, many compounds have been on the market for decades, and multidrug resistance is commonly observed in avian Eimeria.

Synthesis of Metastable Ternary Pd-W and Pd-Mo Transition Metal Carbide Nanomaterials.

Research and catalytic testing of platinum group transition metal carbides have been extremely limited due to a lack of reliable, simple synthetic approaches. Powder samples have been reported to phase separately above 1%, and only thin-film samples have been reported to have appreciable amounts of precious metal doping. Herein, we demonstrated, through the simple co-precipitation of Pd and W or Mo precursors and their subsequent annealing, the possibility to readily form ternary carbide powders.

Prescription Stimulant Misuse and Diversion Events Among College Students: A Qualitative Study.

Prescription stimulant misuse and diversion are interrelated behaviors: diversion increases the availability of stimulants for misuse, and persons who misuse are also more likely to divert. To date, research has examined these behaviors using a primarily quantitative lens. We led a qualitative investigation to better understand misuse and diversion events.

Exotic Pet Trade as a Cause of Biological Invasions: The Case of Tree Squirrels of the Genus .

The trade of non-native pets, especially of non-domesticated and exotic animals, and their subsequent release and establishment of populations is one of the major pathways of introduction for invasive alien reptiles, amphibia, birds and mammals. Here, we use a group of arboreal mammals, tree squirrels of the genus , as a well-documented case study, reviewing the pathways of introduction, the current areas of non-native distribution, the rate of establishment success and the challenge and legal importance of species identification. We further illustrate the importance of early detection and effective monitoring methods and plans.
