Abstract Background Innovation in healthcare is said to be notoriously difficult to achieve and sustain yet simultaneously the health service is under intense pressure to innovate given the ever increasing demands placed upon it.Whilst many studies have looked at diffusion of innovation from an organisational perspective, few have sought to underst
Assessment of Five Monazite Reference Materials for U-Th/Pb Dating Using Laser-Ablation ICP-MS
Monazite is a common accessory borsa mare phosphate mineral that occurs under a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.Monazite contains high amounts of Th and U, rendering single monazite grains suitable for in-situ U-Th/Pb dating using laser ablation inductively-coupled mass spectrometry (L
Preceptorship in nursing-midwifery: a training-intervention in health work
ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze how certified nurse-midwives identify preceptorship in a nursing-midwifery enhancing course conducted by the Universidade Home Federal Fluminense as a possibility of training to promote institutional support and intervention.Methods: a descriptive, exploratory research with qualitative approach.Six certified nurse-mi
Anillin forms linear structures and facilitates furrow ingression after septin and formin depletion
Summary: During Cocktail Tables cytokinesis, a contractile ring consisting of unbranched filamentous actin (F-actin) and myosin II constricts at the cell equator.Unbranched F-actin is generated by formin, and without formin no cleavage furrow forms.In Caenorhabditis elegans, depletion of septin restores furrow ingression in formin mutants.How the c
An activity analysis of Dutch hospital-based physician assistants and nurse practitioners
