a-realistic context (subjects choose numbers or letters). Subjects are also paid substantial financial incentives to help ensure that they really do prefer (H,H) to (L,L). The key design elements abstract context and financial incentives fit together to achieve the main purpose, which is to operationalize a setting about which game theory makes a prediction. The purpose of psychology experiment...

8-(dimethylamino)-N,N-dimethyl-naphthalen-1-aminium hydrogenterephthalate (PSH+TPAH-) and 8-(dimethylamino)-N,N-dimethylnaphthalen-1-aminium hydrogen-terephthalate hydrate (PSH+TPAH-·H2O) were prepared by the direct reaction of N1,N1,N8,N8-tetra-methyl-naphthalene-1,8-di-amine, Proton Sponge (PS) © terephthalic acid (TPAH2) in a 1:1 stoichiometric relation. The structure both salts is constru...

Okumura, Manabu, Hirofumi Kai, Shinya Shinozawa, Yoichiro Isohama, and Takeshi Miyata. Effects of eosinophil granule major basic protein on phosphatidylcholine secretion in rat type II pneumocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 20): L763–L768, 1999.—Eosinophils are involved in inflammatory diseases such as asthma. We previously reported that activated eosinophils increased the p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of the iPad as a low vision aid in improving the reading ability of low vision patients (LVPs). METHODS In this study, 228 consecutive patients that came for their routine eye care examination at the University of Florida, Jacksonville eye clinic, were enrolled. Patients met inclusion criteria if they had best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/100 or worse in...

A simulation based on a forward dynamical musculoskeletal model was computed from an optimal control algorithm to understand uni- and bi-articular muscle coordination of maximum-speed startup pedaling. The muscle excitations, pedal reaction forces, and crank and pedal kinematics of the simulation agreed with measurements from subjects. Over the crank cycle, uniarticular hip and knee extensor mu...

Bicycles have been recognized for their advantages such as low environmental impact, health improvement, and maintenance of transportation function in times disaster, demand bicycles is increasing social conditions change. The pedaling a conventional bicycle nowadays turns crank to rotate the front gear, which transmitted rear gear by chain, axle wheel. Since require human power pedal, structur...

This paper explains the development of a newconcept three-wheeled electric cart that not only is a means of transportation, but also provides the driver with a way of getting some physical exercise. Based on an investigation of the physiological decline accompanying aging, pedaling was chosen to implement the function of maintaining or improving physical strength; and an ergonomically designed ...

We present a photoemission study of the electronic properties of organic-inorganic semiconductor heterojunctions formed between the two hole transport materials, N,N8-diphenyl-N, N8-bis~1-naphthyl!-1-18biphenyl-4,49diamine ~a-NPD! and copper-phthalocyanine ~CuPc!, and InP~110!. The highest occupied molecular orbital of a-NPD ~CuPc! is found to be 0.2 eV below ~0.2 eV above! the InP valence band...

The effect of an exocyclic substituent on the ionization potential of primaquine, an important antimalarial drug, was investigated using density functional theory methods. It was found that an electron-donating group (EDG) makes the ionization potential decrease. In contrast, an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) makes the ionization potential increase. Among all the exocyclic positions, a substi...

Evidence obtained from experiments with rats and mice is presented suggesting that the naturally occurring amino acids putreanine and N8-(2-carboxyethyl)spermidine, and most probably also related compounds deriving from the polyamines spermidine and spermine by oxidative metabolism, are formed within two anatomical compartments. In the first step polyamines are converted into aldehydes by serum...
