MorrisonKnudsens bankruptcy in 1996 the company renamed itself MotivePower Inc The company merged with Westinghouse Air Brake Company in 1999 to form the Wabtec Corporation MotivePower is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Wabtec Financial difficulty By the 1990s MorrisonKnudsen had been led into some risky noncore areas by Boise native William Agee who became CEO in 1988 and was ousted by the board of directors in February 1995 MK had announced a loss of 310 million for fiscal year 1994 and a leak of an intended Agee resignation drew broad media attention which resulted in Agee resigning earlier than originally planned The company had been in financial difficulty for several years and declared bankruptcy that same year It was purchased by Washington Group in 1996 for 380 million Additional growth For several years after the 1996 merger the company continued as MorrisonKnudsen Growth by acquisition brought it into the top tier by size of American construction firms In 1999 MK acquired the governmentservices operations of Westinghouse Electric Company becoming a science and technology services leader The company expanded its market leadership in 2000 by acquiring Raytheon Engineers Constructors which owned engineering giant Rust International of Birmingham Alabama to produce one of the largest companies in the industry End Following the acquisition the MKs corporate name changed to Washington Group International in July 2000 Issues with the Raytheon acquisition caused WGI to declare bankruptcy in 2001 virtually eliminating all shareholder value but later successfully exited it WGI was acquired by rival URS Corporation of San Francisco in 2007 which was acquired by AECOM of Los Angeles in 2014 With a greatly diminished presence in Idaho the last positions in Boise were

National Institute of Nursing Research From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia The National Institute of Nursing Research NINR as part of the US National Institutes of Health supports clinical and basic research to establish a scientific basis for the nursing care of individuals across the life spanfrom management of patients during illness and recovery to the reduction of risks for disease and disability and the promotion of healthy lifestyles The current Institute Director is Patricia A Grady History Federal involvement in nursing research can be traced back to 1946 with the establishment of the Division of Nursing within the Office of the Surgeon General Public Health Service In 1955 the first extramural nursing research program was established in the Research Grants and Fellowship Branch of the Division of Nursing Resources Bureau of Medical Services At this same time the National Institutes of Health NIH established the Nursing Research Study Section within the Division of Research Grants to conduct scientific review of the growing volume of applications in this area In 1960 public health nursing services were consolidated to form a new Division of Nursing at what is now called the Health Resources and Services Administration HRSA the agency responsible for clinical training in the health care professions The initial and continuing goal of federal support was to build a foundation for nursing research During this time many academic institutions established predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship programs to train independent nurse investigators Nursing research programs were also funded and research information was exchanged across the country The impetus for establishing the National Institute of Nursing Research NINR came from the findings of two federal studies A 1983 report by the Institute of Medicine recommended that nursing research be included in the mainstream of biomedical and behavioral science and a 1984 NIH Task Force study found nursing research activities to be relevant to the NIH mission These findings resulted in legislative action that established the National Center for Nursing Research NCNR at NIH in April 1986 The Center later became an NIH Institute with the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 and a Federal Register notice on June 14 of that year both actions formally changing the NCNR to the NINR Notes and references About NINR History External links Official website v t e National Institutes of Health Institutes National Cancer Institute National Eye Institute National Heart Lung and Blood Institute National Human Genome Research Institute National Institute on Aging National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering National Institute of Child Health and Human Development National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases National Institute on Drug Abuse National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences National Institute of General Medical Sciences National Institute of Mental Health National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke National Institute of Nursing Research National Library of Medicine Centers Center for Information Technology Center for Scientific Review John E Fogarty International Center National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences Vaccine Research Center National Institutes of Health Clinical Center Programs Visible Human Project National Diabetes Education Program Directors Joseph J Kinyoun Milton J Rosenau John F Anderson George W McCoy Lewis R Thompson Rolla Dyer William H Sebrell Jr James Augustine Shannon Robert Q Marston Robert Stone Donald S Fredrickson James B Wyngaarden Bernadine Healy Harold E Varmus Elias Zerhouni Francis Collins Related NIH Record United States Public Health Service Division of Intramural Research National Institutes of Health campus National Institutes of Health Directors Pioneer Award NIH Public Access Policy National Center for Research Resources National Institutes of Health Police Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare Categories National Institutes of Health Nursing organizations in the United States Medical and health organizations based in Maryland

charged

that

Neural tube From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia This article needs additional citations for verification Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources Unsourced material may be challenged and removed November 2016 Learn how and when to remove this template message Neural tube Transverse section of half of a chick embryo of fortyfive hours incubation The dorsal back surface of the embryo is toward the top of this page while the ventral front surface is toward the bottom Neural tube is in green Chick embryo of thirtythree hours incubation viewed from the dorsal aspect 30x magnification Details Carnegie stage 10 Precursor Neural groove Gives rise to Central nervous system brain and spinal cord Identifiers Latin tubus neuralis tuba neuralis MeSH D054259 TE E51410001 Anatomical terminology In the developing chordate including vertebrates the neural tube is the embryonic precursor to the central nervous system which is made up of the brain and spinal cord The neural groove gradually deepens as the neural folds become elevated and ultimately the folds meet and coalesce in the middle line and convert the groove into the closed neural tube In humans neural tube closure usually occurs by the fourth week of pregnancy 28th day after conception The ectodermal wall of the tube forms the rudiment of the nervous system The centre of the tube is the neural canal Stages of neural tube formation Contents 1 Development 2 3 Dorsalventral patterning 4 See also 5 6 External links Development The neural tube develops in two ways primary neurulation and secondary neurulation Primary neurulation divides the ectoderm into three cell types The internally located neural tube The externally located epidermis The neural crest cells which develop in the region between the neural tube and epidermis but then migrate to new locations Primary neurulation begins after the neural plate forms The edges of the neural plate start to thicken and lift upward forming the neural folds The center of the neural plate remains grounded allowing a Ushaped neural groove to form This neural groove sets the boundary between the right and left sides of the embryo The neural folds pinch in towards the midline of the embryo and fuse together to form the neural tube In secondary neurulation the cells of the neural plate form a cordlike structure that migrates inside the embryo and hollows to form the tube Each organism uses primary and secondary neurulation to varying degrees Neurulation in fish proceeds only via the secondary form In avian species the posterior regions of the tube develop using secondary neurulation and the anterior regions develop by primary neurulation In mammals secondary neurulation begins around the 35th somite Mammalian neural tubes close in the head in the opposite order that they close in the trunk In the head Neural crest cells migrate Neural tube closes Overlying ectoderm closes In the trunk Overlying ectoderm closes Neural tube closes Neural crest cells migrate Structure Four neural tube subdivisions each eventually develop into distinct regions of the central nervous system by the division of neuroepithelial cells the forebrain prosencephalon the midbrain mesencephalon the hindbrain rhombencephalon and the spinal cord The prosencephalon further goes on to develop into the telencephalon cerebrum and the diencephalon the optic vesicles and hypothalamus The mesencephalon stays as the midbrain The rhombencephalon develops into the metencephalon the pons and cerebellum and the myelencephalon the medulla oblongata For a short time the neural tube is open both cranially and caudally These openings called neuropores close during the fourth week in humans Improper closure of the neuropores can result in neural tube defects such as anencephaly or spina bifida The dorsal part of the neural tube contains the alar plate which is associated primarily with sensation The ventral part of the neural tube contains the basal plate which is primarily associated with motor ie muscle control Dorsalventral patterning The neural tube patterns along the dorsalventral axis to establish defined compartments of neural progenitor cells that lead to distinct classes of neurons According to the French flag model of morphogenesis this patterning occurs early in development and results from the activity of several secreted signaling molecules Sonic hedgehog Shh is a key player in patterning the ventral axis while bone morphogenic proteins BMPs and Wnt family members play an important role in patterning the dorsal axis Other factors shown to provide positional information to the neural progenitor cells include fibroblast growth factors FGFs and retinoic acid Retinoic acid is required ventrally along with Shh to induce Pax6 and Olig2 during differentiation of motor neurons Three main ventral cell types are established during early neural tube development the floor plate cells which form at the ventral midline during the neural fold stage as well as the more dorsally located motor neurons and interneurons These cell types are specified by the secretion of the Shh from the notochord located ventrally to the neural tube and later from the floor plate cells Shh acts as a morphogen meaning that it acts in a concentrationdependent manner to specify cell types as it moves further from its source The following is a proposed mechanism for how Shh patterns the ventral neural tube A gradient of Shh that controls the expression of a group of homeodomain HD and basic HelixLoopHelix bHLH transcription factors is created These transcription factors are grouped into two protein classes based on how Shh affects them Class I is inhibited by Shh whereas Class II is activated by Shh These two classes of proteins then crossregulate each other to create moredefined boundaries of expression The different combinations of expression of these transcription factors along the dorsalventral axis of the neural tube are responsible for creating Five molecularly distinct groups of ventral neurons form from these neuronal progenitor cells in vitro Also the position at which these neuronal groups are generated in vivo can be predicted by the concentration of Shh required for their induction in vitro Studies have shown that neural progenitors can evoke different responses based on the length of exposure to Shh with a longer exposure time resulting in more ventral cell types At the dorsal end of the neural tube BMPs are responsible for neuronal patterning BMP is initially secreted from the overlying ectoderm A secondary signaling center is then established in the roof plate the dorsal most structure of the neural tube BMP from the dorsal end of the neural tube seems to act in the same concentrationdependent manner as Shh in the ventral end This was shown using zebrafish mutants that had varying amounts of BMP signaling activity Researchers observed changes in dorsalventral patterning for example zebrafish deficient in certain BMPs showed a loss of dorsal sensory neurons and an expansion of interneurons Shh secreted from the floor plate creates a gradient along the ventral neural tube Shh functions in a concentrationdependent manner to specify ventral neuronal fates V0V3 represent four different classes of ventral interneurons and MN indicates
