This dataset includes all raw data, corrected data, and correction calculations for the soil moisture, light intensity, and temperature data analyzed during the experimental work.
Critical Theory in the Global South brings together scholars from North America, South Africa, and Latin America. The ten projects developed under this umbrella between 2017-2022 facilitated graduate student exchanges, book and article translations, and cross-institutional workshops and conferences. The result was the formation of new open-access curricula reflecting the...
Our mission is to create and foster a diverse community of intellectual engineers and scientists by providing the necessary education and resources to have fun inventing quantum activities. Also, to share knowledge and excitement while interacting with quantum machines and concepts. We envision developing device abstraction concepts and human-machine interfaces...
The Undergraduate Research and Arts Exposition is the annual forum for original research and creative work by undergraduate students at Northwestern University. Prizes are awarded for the best poster, oral presentation, and creative arts entry. This conference archive organizes the oral presentations, posters, and creative works from the Expo and...
Background
Over-testing and overtreatment in older adults may lead to harm. Clinician decision support redirecting attention to possible harms and engaging social and reputational concerns might reduce overuse.
Methods
We performed an 18-month pragmatic cluster-randomized trial in 60 primary care practices with 371 clinicians, comparing behavioral-science-informed point-of-care clinical decision support...
The Doctor of Musical Arts at the Bienen School of Music is designed to foster the development of both musical artistry and scholarly achievement. All DMA students must submit written documents that must represent intensive, original research that makes a meaningful contribution to knowledge in the student's field.
The E-Science Working group designed a survey in 2013 to investigate how researchers at Northwestern University manage data and to help determine researchers’ needs or requirements for data storage, preservation and sharing.
The 21 question survey looked at several areas involving data and data management, including the types and size...
Condyloma acuminata (CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. CA of the bladder, however, is an exceedingly rare lesion. We present a rare case of poorly differentiated locally invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from recurrent CA of the bladder in an immunocompetent...
INTRODUCTION: Pyocele of the scrotum is a rare clinical entity not well-described in the pediatric liter-ature. With the exception of those patients who cannot undergo surgery, all published cases have beentreated definitely with surgical drainage with severe cases leading to orchiectomy.PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 12 day-old full-term boy with no...
The relationship between Internet use and social behavior remains unknown. However, research indicates that Internet use (IU) may have some causal role in certain types of psychopathology and overall functioning. In contrast, other work suggests that IU may be protective and buffer against social isolation. Poorer emotional processing (EP) is...
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to neurologic disorders are well-established, but intracranial mass lesions are rare causes of LUTS with very few case reports described in the literature. We present a 28-year old man with urinary urgency, frequency and incontinence which were revealed to be secondary to a large...
In the age of digital technology, as teens seem to be constantly connected online, via social media, and through mobile applications, it is no surprise that they increasingly turn to digital media to answer their health questions. This study is the first of its kind to survey a large, nationally-representative...
The genetic variants underlying complex traits are often elusive even in powerful model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans with controlled genetic backgrounds and environmental conditions. Two major contributing factors are: (1) the lack of statistical power from measuring the phenotypes of small numbers of individuals, and (2) the use of...
Objective: To evaluate documentation of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and obesity management by pediatric cardiologists. Study design: Review of medical records of obese (≥95th body mass index percentile) 2–17 year-old children presenting to outpatient pediatric cardiology over 1 year. Subjects were categorized as: heart disease (HD) with increased risk for...
Background: Retraction is among the most important basic behaviors of anthozoan Cnidaria polyps and is achieved through the coordinated contraction of at least six different muscle groups. Across the Anthozoa, these muscles range from unrecognizable atrophies to massive hypertrophies, producing a wide diversity of retraction abilities and functional morphologies. The...
