Psychosocial resources have been tied to lower psychological and biological responses to stress. The present research replicated this relationship and extended it by examining how differences in dispositional reactivity of certain neural structures may underlie this relationship. Two hypotheses were examined: (a) psychosocial resources are tied to decreased sensitivity to threat and/or (b) psyc...

It was found that, for a dissolving pulp, an enzymatic pre-treatment with an endoglucanase prior to viscose preparation did not change the correlation between the gamma number of the viscose dope and the carbon disulphide charge. Thus, the pulp stoichiometry, or reactivity, was not changed by an endoglucanase pre-treatment. It has nevertheless previously been found that the pulp reactivity, mea...

The robustness of animal behavior is unmatched by current machines, which often falter when exposed to unforeseen conditions. While animals are notably reactive to changes in their environment, machines often follow finely-tuned yet inflexible plans. Thus instead of the traditional approach of training such machines over many different unpredictable scenarios in detailed simulations (which is t...

been arranged so as to present their results in the context of a general review and presentation of the current status of each particular subject. For this reason, this book should be useful not only to the specialist, but also to those who are entering this field. The book first considers the nature and biochemistry of lymphocyte activating agents and then presents the current status of the kn...

Coal is a prime energy source in India and will continue to play its role for coming several decades. However, our indigenous coal suffers from high ash content and present coal based conventional power generation technologies have several drawbacks such as, lower efficiency, environmental loading and damages thereof. Herein the importance of gasification lies because coal gasification is a mea...

Wright, J .C. and Nesselrote, M.S., 1987. Classification of behavior problems in dogs: distributions of age, breed, sex and reproductive status. Appl. Anim. Behav. Sci., 19: 169-178. One hundred and seventy behavior problems were observed in 105 dogs referred for behaviorproblem management by practicing veterinarians. Ninety percent of the observed behavior problems were classified within three...

The results of decades of studies on the Phillips chromium (Cr)/silica polymerization catalyst are briefly summarized. The application of several characterization methods has allowed a detailed knowledge of the structure and reactivity of Cr centres to be obtained. In particular, many aspects of this apparently simple single-site catalyst, including the heterogeneity, the modification of the li...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors appear to correct many of the abnormalities associated with the vascular dysfunction found in diabetic patients. In this respect, quinapril is a unique ACE inhibitor with multiple protective effects. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of intraperitoneal administration of quinapril on the aortic reactivity of streptozotocin ...

The present research article relates to the discovery of the novel drugs based on Zonisamide to treatment of autism disease. In first step, the electronic properties, reactivity and stability of the said compound are discussed. To attain these properties, the said molecular structure is optimized using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory at room temperature. The frontier molecular orbitals (FMO...
