Using Search Query Surveillance to Monitor Tax Avoidance and Smoking Cessation Following the United States' 2009 “SCHIP” Cigarette Tax Increase
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Smokers can use the web to continue or quit their habit. Online vendors sell reduced or tax-free cigarettes lowering smoking costs, while health advocates use the web to promote cessation. We examined how smokers’ tax ... -
Using Self-Guided Treatment Software (ePST) to Teach Clinicians How to Deliver Problem-Solving Treatment for Depression
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Problem-solving treatment (PST) offers a promising approach to the depression care; however, few PST training opportunities exist. A computer-guided, interactive media program has been developed to deliver PST electronically ... -
Using Sequencing Approaches to Characterize Tumor Microbial Communities and Viral Transcriptomes
(2022-05-09)Microorganisms are the etiologic agents of many human diseases. Next-generation sequencing (NSG) allows for sensitive characterization of nucleic acids and offers the ability to identify and characterize microorganisms ... -
Using Staff Ratings to Measure Variation in and Causal Relationships with Quality of Working Conditions in K-12 Schools
(2022-05-17)A growing number of state and district education agencies collect staff ratings (SR) using multiple-choice item questionnaires to evaluate the quality of working conditions (QWC) in schools. Agencies often report school-level ... -
Using stakeholder perspectives to develop an ePrescribing toolkit for NHS Hospitals: a questionnaire study
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Summary Objective: To evaluate how an online toolkit may support ePrescribing deployments in National Health Service hospitals, by assessing the type of knowledge-based resources currently sought by key stakeholders. Design: ... -
Using Stellar Limb‐Darkening to Refine the Properties of HD 209458b

Using Stem Cells to Study and Possibly Treat Type 1 Diabetes
(The Royal Society, 2011)Stem cells with the potential to form many different cell types are actively studied for their possible use in cell replacement therapies for several diseases. In addition, the differentiated derivatives of stem cells are ... -
Using Strategic Interruptions to Effectively Integrate Whole Class and Small Group Instruction in Mathematics
(2013)In this paper we explore a new way to think about the use of group work in mathematics instruction through what we refer to as strategic interruptions. Strategic interruptions involve frequent and often rapid transitions ... -
Using Student and Teacher Survey Data to Improve Schools
(2015-05-04)Amid a growing debate over the use of standardized test scores, states and districts across the country have begun using alternative measures of school quality, including surveys of students and teachers. As a result, many ... -
Using Submerged Aquatic Vegetation to Assess Riverfront Areas and Ecological Condition
(2018-11-05)Current regulations dictating development on the banks of river systems found throughout Massachusetts are scientifically incomplete and result in unproductive arguments between landowners and local governments. According ... -
Using Submerged Aquatic Vegetation to Assess Riverfront Areas and Ecological Condition
(2018-05-19)Current regulations dictating development on the banks of river systems found throughout Massachusetts are scientifically incomplete and result in unproductive arguments between landowners and local governments. According ... -
Using the Association Between Antibiotic Susceptibility and Genetic Relatedness to Rescue Old Drugs for Empiric Use
(2019-11-29)Background: Rising rates of antibiotic resistance have led to the use of broader spectrum antibiotics and increasingly compromise empiric therapy. Knowing the antibiotic susceptibility of a pathogens close genetic relative(s) ... -
Using the Chinese version of Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale to describe postoperative delirium after hip surgery
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Objective:: Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS) assesses severity of delirium. However, whether the MDAS can be used in a Chinese population is unknown. Moreover, the optimal postoperative MDAS cutoff point for ... -
Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System Analogous to Restriction Enzymes Whose Recognition Site is 23 Nucleotides to Alter Pooled CRISPR Libraries
(2022-02-07)Pooled CRISPR libraries in recent years have been widely used to perform genetic screens. Such a library contains tens of thousands of single guide RNA (sgRNA) constructs that target a set of genes of interest. A perfect ... -
Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System to Derive an Isogenic BRCA1 Mutant (187delAG) Strain From a Wild Type BRCA1 Mammary Epithelial Strain
(2016-05-02)A powerful new genomic engineering technique, the Clustered RegularInterspersed Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), was co-opted from the immunesystem of bacteria and archaea, and uses specific guide RNAs to bring the ... -
Using the discrete dipole approximation and holographic microscopy to measure rotational dynamics of non-spherical colloidal particles
(Elsevier BV, 2014)We present a new, high-speed technique to track the three-dimensional translation and rotation of non-spherical colloidal particles. We capture digital holograms of micrometer-scale silica rods and sub-micrometer-scale ... -
Using the Electronic Medical Record to Examine Racial and Ethnic Differences in Depression Diagnosis and Treatment in a Primary Care Population
(2011)Objective: We assessed racial and ethnic differences in depression diagnosis and treatment in a primary care population. Methods: A sample of primary care outpatients in 2007 was generated using the electronic medical ... -
Using the Electronic Medical Record to Identify Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Toward a Replicable Automated Strategy
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Timely information about disease severity can be central to the detection and management of outbreaks of acute respiratory infections (ARI), including influenza. We asked if two resources: 1) free text, and 2) ... -
Using the Jackknife for Estimation in Log Link Bernoulli Regression Models
(2015)Bernoulli (or binomial) regression using a generalized linear model with a log link function, where the exponentiated regression parameters have interpretation as relative risks, is often more appropriate than logistic ... -
Using the logarithm of odds to define a vector space on probabilistic atlases
(Elsevier BV, 2007)The Logarithm of the Odds ratio (LogOdds) is frequently used in areas such as artificial neural networks, economics, and biology, as an alternative representation of probabilities. Here, we use LogOdds to place probabilistic ...
