Check your sleep before you start: A secondary analysis of a stress management intervention for caregivers of stem cell transplant patients

Scott G. Ravyts, Timothy S. Sannes, Joseph M. Dzierzewski, Eric S. Zhou, more

Objective Caregiving for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients is associated with significant physical and psychological sequelae. While psychosocial interventions may reduce caregiver burden, knowledge regarding which caregivers may benefit the most from such interventions is limited. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine whether HSCT caregivers' peritransplant sleep...

The global abundance of tree palms

Robert Muscarella, Thaise Emilio, Oliver L. Phillips, Simon L. Lewis, more

Global Ecology and Biogeography > 29 > 9 > 1495 - 1514

Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified...

A randomized control trial of stress management for caregivers of stem cell transplant patients: Effect on patient quality of life and caregiver distress

Mark L. Laudenslager, Teresa L. Simoneau, Susan K. Mikulich‐Gilbertson, Crystal Natvig, more

Psycho‐Oncology > 28 > 8 > 1614 - 1623

Background Psychological interventions reduce caregiver distress (CG‐distress). Less distress in caregivers may contribute to improved patient quality of life (QoL), but empirical evidence is lacking. Will a caregiver stress management intervention improve patient QoL? Methods In this replication study, we randomized 155 allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (Allo‐HSCT) patients and caregivers...

Athletic identity foreclosure

Britton W Brewer, Albert J Petitpas

Current Opinion in Psychology > 2017 > 16 > Complete > 118-122

Athletic identity foreclosure refers to commitment to the athlete role in the absence of exploration of occupational or ideological alternatives. This article traces the theoretical underpinnings of the construct, examines the role of sport participation in identity development, and provides an overview of the course, correlates, and consequences of athletic identity foreclosure. Implications for...

Factorial validity and measurement invariance of the Perceived Susceptibility to Sport Injury scale

S. L. Gnacinski, M. Arvinen‐Barrow, B. W. Brewer, B. B. Meyer

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports > 27 > 7 > 754 - 761

The Perceived Susceptibility to Sport Injury (PSSI) scale is a measure that has recently surfaced in the sport injury literature. The factor structure of the PSSI scale has not been subjected to a rigorous factor analysis; thus, the factorial validity of the measure in athlete populations is unknown. To establish the validity of the PSSI scale in sports medicine research, the purpose of this study...

Phosphatidylcholine as a metabolic cue for determining B cell fate and function

Joseph W. Brewer, Viktoriya Solodushko, Ileana Aragon, Robert A. Barrington

Cellular Immunology > 2016 > 310 > C > 78-88

In activated B cells, increased production of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), the most abundant cellular phospholipid, is handled primarily by the CDP-choline pathway. B cell-specific deletion of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase α (CCTα), the rate-limiting enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway, led to augmented IgM secretion and reduced IgG production, suggesting that PtdCho synthesis is required...

Relinquishing Manual Control: Collaboration Requires the Capability to Understand Robot Intent

Kristin E. Schaefer, Ralph W. Brewer, Joe Putney, Edward Mottern, more

2016 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS) > 359 - 366

2016 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)

Collaboration between robots and humans means different things to different people in different applications. Collaboration could range from a robot and a human simply operating in the same area, to operations that require complex, interdependent decisions based on joint goals. Despite the level of coordination, all effective collaborations require understanding the control allocation processes, and...

A new digital field data collection system for dendrochronology

Peter W. Brewer, Christopher H. Guiterman

Dendrochronologia > 2016 > 38 > C > 131-135

A wide variety of information or ‘metadata’ is required when undertaking dendrochronological sampling. Traditionally, researchers record observations and measurements on field notebooks and/or paper recording forms, and use digital cameras and hand-held GPS devices to capture images and record locations. In the lab, field notes are often manually entered into spreadsheets or personal databases, which...

Krull dimension of polynomial rings

J. W. Brewer, P. R. Montgomery, E. A. Rutter, W. J. Heinzer

Lecture Notes in Mathematics > Conference on Commutative Algebra > 26-45

Let Q be a prime ideal of R[X₁, ..., X_n] and let P=Q ∩ R. This paper investigates the relationship between the ranks of Q and P[X₁, ..., X_n]. The results are used to recover some well-known results concerning the Krull dimension of R[X₁, ..., X_n]. The paper also contains a number of examples related to questions which arose in connection with the above investigation.

Self-talk: Review and sport-specific model

Judy L. Van Raalte, Andrew Vincent, Britton W. Brewer

Psychology of Sport & Exercise > 2016 > 22 > Complete > 139-148

Self-talk is a key component of the sport psychology canon. Although self-talk has been widely endorsed by athletes and coaches as a performance enhancement strategy, a comprehensive model of self-talk in sport that might be used to guide systematic research has yet to be developed. This purpose of this paper is to: (a) review theory and research related to self-talk in sport; and (b) present a sport-specific...

Fire behavior in masticated fuels: A review

Jesse K. Kreye, Nolan W. Brewer, Penelope Morgan, J. Morgan Varner, more

Forest Ecology and Management > 2014 > 314 > Complete > 193-207

Mastication is an increasingly common fuels treatment that redistributes “ladder” fuels to the forest floor to reduce vertical fuel continuity, crown fire potential, and fireline intensity, but fuel models do not exist for predicting fire behavior in these fuel types. Recent fires burning in masticated fuels have behaved in unexpected and contradictory ways, likely because the shredded, compact fuel...

Regulatory crosstalk within the mammalian unfolded protein response

Joseph W. Brewer

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences > 2014 > 71 > 6 > 1067-1079

Increased demands on the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR). Comprised of a tripartite signaling system, the UPR regulates translation and gene transcription to manifest pro-adaptive and, if necessary, pro-apoptotic outcomes. The three UPR pathways, initiated by activating transcription factor 6, inositol requiring enzyme 1, and protein...

The FORMNET‐B database: monitoring the biomass and dynamics of disturbed and degraded tropical forests

Percival Cho, George A. Blackburn, Neil M. Bird, Steven W. Brewer, more

Journal of Vegetation Science > 24 > 6 > 1204 - 1207

The biomass and dynamics of disturbed and degraded tropical forests have mostly been ignored in the recent scientific literature, partly because of a spotlight on old‐growth forests but also due to a lack of long‐term data from degraded forests. There is a pressing need to understand the rates and patterns of growth, mortality and recruitment in degraded forests, not only because they are increasing...

Phospholipids: “Greasing the wheels” of humoral immunity

Joseph W. Brewer

BBA - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids > 2013 > 1831 > 3 > 642-651

Phospholipids are major structural components of all cellular membranes. In addition, certain phospholipids execute regulatory activities that affect cell behavior, function and fate in critically important physiological settings. The influence of phospholipids is especially obvious in the adaptive immune system, where these macromolecules mediate both intrinsic and extrinsic effects on B and T lymphocytes...
