A Look at the Educational Responsibilities and Cost Impact of the Docent Clinical Pharmacist

One innovation at Truman Medical Center, the primary teaching hospital of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is the addition of the clinical pharmacist as a full-time member of the patient-care and educational teams. These practitioner-educators share responsibility for the patients' drug therapies and for the provision of instruction in basic pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics in the medical school. Examination of the cost impact of these practitioners in separate studies indicates that they reduce drug costs. The unique pharmacology program provided solely by these clinical pharmacists is both well received and successful.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Modeling rainfall runoff can help to understand what is happening throughout the system, how can control of water to prevent flood, and how much the quality of runoff can change in urban area. Modeling sewer system help decision maker to indicate best strategy to prevent flooding, reduce runoff pollution, reduce cost of wastewater treatment and determine best suitable LID to an urban area. This dissertation first starting with analysis the complexity of model necessary to get accepted result in term peak flow, runoff volume, numbers of flooding nodes and time to peak. Modeling requirements may lead to system simplification, as in limiting the size of the pipes included in the analyses. Researchers analyzed the combined sewer system of the urbanized Town Fork Creek catchment in Kansas City, Missouri using PCSWMM to assess the potential impact of the simplifications on hydraulic results.

Mr. Jeffrey Alderman, President/ CEO, ACBSP, recently, has visited India. Prior to joining ACBSP, Mr. Alderman served as Vice President of the Kansas City, Kansas Chamber of Commerce overseeing business development for the Chamber by working with small to large scale businesses on consulting, branding, and marketing initiatives. A sampling of member companies includes General Motors, Kansas Speedway, Sporting Kansas City, and The University of Kansas Medical Center. SDMIMD had the honor to have Mr. Alderman in the campus, where he addressed the students and interacted with the faculty members. The Dimension Team (Student Magazine) from SDMIMD has an opportunity to interview Mr. Alderman on various aspects. The discussion has been summarized below.

Educational Leadership Preparation

This article examines specific uses of video simulations in one educational leadership preparation program to advance future school and district leaders' skills related to public speaking and participation in televised news interviews. One faculty member and two advanced educational leadership candidates share their perspectives of several applications of advanced technologies, including one-on-one video simulations with the instructor and collaborative peer review of video portfolios. Finally, the authors provide links to multimedia examples of these digital artifacts from an advanced educational leadership course, titled Effective Practices: Media, Government & Public Communications, offered at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The challenge-hindrance stressor framework suggests that most workers experience challenge stressors positively and hindrance stressors negatively. However, research has shown that both types of stressors are positively related to psychological strain, a negative outcome. Using the transactional theory of stress, I examined whether and how individuals' appraisals of challenge and hindrance stressors and their goal orientations influence the positive relationships between both types of stressors and psychological strain. I surveyed 278 full-time employees from various occupations twice over a two-week span. My findings revealed that despite challenge stressors' positive conceptualization, individuals appraise them negatively as constraints. Additionally, I found that constraint appraisals are one mechanism that influences the positive relationship between challenge stressors and psychological strain. Lastly, my results also indicated that individuals with a stronger learning goal orientation are more likely to appraise both types of stressors as opportunities and individuals with a stronger performance-avoid goal orientation are more likely to appraise both types of stressors as constraints.

Hydrolysis Of

Alkenes are usually reduced by catalytic hydrogenation. Diimide reduction is a mild and neutral alternative. Keith R. Buszek, now at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, has shown (J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 3125) that the reduction can conveniently be carried out on resin-bound alkenes, using 2-NBSH (o-nitrobenzenesulfonylhydrazide) with Et3 N for convenient room temperature diimide generation. Ozone can be difficult to dispense accurately on small scale. Masahito Ochiai of the University of Tokushima has uncovered (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 2772) an alternative, using acid-promoted Ph-I=O. Isolated alkenes also work well. MCPBA is the reagent most commonly used for alkene epoxidation. Payne oxidation (H2O2 /CH3CN) is a convenient and inexpensive alternative. In the course of a study of the enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis of 6, Takeshi Sugai of Keio University has described (Tetrahedron Lett. 2007, 48, 979) a practical procedure for multigram Payne epoxidation of 5. Several procedures have been put forward for functionalizing terminal alkenes, exemplified by 7. Stefan Grimme and Armido Studer of the Universität Münster have developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 4498) a free radical alkene amination, represented by the conversion of 7 to 9. Tehshik P. Yoon of the University of Wisconsin has found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 1866) that Cu catalyzes the addition of oxaziridines such as 10 to alkenes, to make 11. Shinji Nakamura of the University of Tokyo and Masanobu Uchiyama of the University of Tokyo and RIKEN have established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 28) that the anion from Cu promoted addition of the silyl zinc reagent to alkenes is long-lived enough to be trapped by electrophiles, including H+ to give 12. Hideki Yorimitsu and Koichiro Oshima of Kyoto University have developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 6094) a complementary transformation, Ni-catalyzed addition of 13 to give 14. The conversion of 7 to 15 reported (Organic Lett. 2007, 9, 53) by Li-Biao Han of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba, is likely also a free-radical process.
