Prior research indicates that survivors of abuse characterized by very close victim perpetrator relationships (VC traumas) are significantly more likely to delay disclosure for 1 or more years, or never to disclose, than survivors of abuse characterized by not very close victim perpetrator relationships (NVC traumas) (M. M. Foynes, J. J. Freyd, & A. P. Deprince, 2009, Child abuse, betrayal and ...

Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) connected to aminopropyl silica is a new stationary phase for temperature responsive liquid chromatography (TR-LC). PVCL shows a transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic interaction between 30 and 40°C. The synthesis is described in detail. The temperature responsive characteristic of the phase is illustrated with a mixture of steroids using pure water as mobil...

Abstract Here, we reported a novel strategy for the controllable synthesis of Au nanoparticles within functional microgels. By simply mixing Au(Cl) 4 - ions with microgel dispersion at room temperature several hours, Au(III) were reduced into Au(0) on surface Without use any additional reductant, reduction was realized and controlled by tuning volume base solution as result unique reductive 3-c...

The classical model of neurovascular coupling (NVC) implies that activity-dependent axonal glutamate release at synapses evokes the production and release of vasoactive signals from both neurons and astrocytes, which dilate arterioles, increasing in turn cerebral blood flow (CBF) to areas with increased metabolic needs. However, whether this model is applicable to brain areas that also use less...

INTRODUCTION Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a procedure commonly used for patient classification and subsetting, but not to define disease activity (DA). This study aimed to evaluate whether the number of micro-haemorrhages (MHE), micro-thrombosis (MT), giant capillaries (GC), and normal/dilated capillaries (Cs) in NVC could predict DA in SSc. METHODS Eight-...

High molar mass poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCa) was synthesized by free-radical bulk polymerization. Four narrowly distributed fractions of PVCa were obtained in the tetrahydrofuran/nhexane mixture. A combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering led to a scaling between the translational diffusion coefficient (D) and molar mass (M), D (cm2/s) ) 8.47 × 10Mw, with which we transferred...

This study discusses the importance of balancing spatial and non-spatial variation in regression modeling. Unlike spatially varying coefficients (SVC) modeling, which is popular statistics, non-spatially (NVC) modeling has largely been unexplored fields. Nevertheless, as we will explain, consideration needed not only to improve model accuracy but also reduce spurious correlation among coefficie...

BACKGROUND Intra-arrest hypothermia induction may provide more benefit than inducing hypothermia after return of spontaneous circulation. However, little is understood about the interaction between patient physiology and hypothermia induction technology choice during ongoing chest compressions. METHODS After 10 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation, mechanical chest compressions were prov...
