The identified by equilibration scales ω eq , k defined as collision point between diffusive hydrodynamic mode and longest-lived non-hydrodynamic mode. show determined diffusion constant D scaling dimension ∆(0) an infra-red operator: = πT $$ {k}_{\math...

AR177 is a 17-mer oligonucleotide that has anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity in vitro. The disposition of internally labeled 33P-AR177 was studied after the tail vein injection of single and multiple doses (0.7 mg/kg) to rats. After a single dose, the terminal half-life of AR177 in the blood and plasma was 367 and 271 hr, respectively, significantly longer than values reported for othe...

BACKGROUND Empathy plays a key role in social understanding, but its empirical measurement has proved difficult. The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a self-report scale designed to do just that. This series of four studies examined the reliability and validity of the EQ and determined its factor structure. METHOD In Study 1, 53 people completed the EQ, Social Desirability Scale (SDS) and a non-verba...

This study investigated the fakability of the Emotional Quotient Inventory Short Form (EQ-i:S), a mixed-model emotional intelligence test developed by Bar-On (2002). A sample of 229 undergraduate students from a southeastern university completed a battery of selection and assessment measures in both an honest and faking good condition. When responded to honestly, the EQ-i:S is predicted by The ...

This paper reports on a head-to-head study of howRU and EQ-5D on patients with cardiovascular disease. howRU is a short generic measure of health-related quality of life comprising 39 words, designed for routine use, which we compare with EQ-5D (230 words). Patients attending a clinic completed both instruments. Completed data were available for 116 patients, 51% female, mean age 56 and SD 20. ...

The present study was conducted to investigate how EFL learners with distinct levels of emotional intelligence might benefit from Critical Thinking-based instruction and use different language learning strategies. A further concern of this study was to investigate the relationship among critical thinking, language learning strategy, and emotional intelligence of EFL learners. To this end, 88 EF...

BACKGROUND The impact on informal caregivers of caring for people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia can be substantial, but it remains unclear which measures(s) best assess such impact. Our objective was to use data from the GERAS study to assess the ability of the EuroQol 5-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) to measure the impact on caregivers of caring for people with AD dementia and to exa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the responsiveness of the EQ-5D index (German and British tariff), the EQ-5D visual analogue scale (EQ VAS), and time trade-off (TTO) scores in schizophrenia, affective disorders, and alcohol addiction. METHODS We used a sample of 502 patients and examined the measures at baseline and after 14 months. We used the generic "WHO Quality of Life BREF" (WHOQOL) and the disorde...
