OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to examine respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), an indicator of parasympathetic nervous system-linked cardiac activity, and skin conductance level (SCL), a sympathetic indicator, as moderators of the link between child maltreatment and adolescent aggression. METHOD Participants were 234 maltreated (48.3% male) and 128 (57.8% male) comparison youth aged 9-16...

Clinicians, provider organizations, and researchers need simple and valid measures to monitor mental health treatment outcomes. This article describes development of 6- and 10-item indexes of psychological distress based on the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). A review of eight factor-analytic studies identified SCL-90 items most indicative of overall distress. Convergent validity of two new inde...

Autoantibodies to the polymyositis/scleroderma (PM/Scl) complex have been associated with systemic sclerosis and PM/Scl overlap syndrome. The report of Hanke and colleagues in a recent issue of Arthritis Research and Therapy is the first to describe the separate evaluation of anti-PM/Scl-75c and PM/Scl-100 autoantibodies and their relationship to clinical manifestations of systemic sclerosis. S...

SCL (Sequence Class Library) is a class library written in the C++ programming language. Designed using object-oriented programming principles, SCL consists of classes of objects performing tasks typically needed for analyzing DNA or protein sequences. Among them are very flexible sequence classes, classes accessing databases in various formats, classes managing collections of sequences, as wel...

Sucralose (SCL) is one of the most widely used edulcorants in world, including bychildren and adolescents, but its effects on metabolic programming are not sufficient andconclusive. In this study we evaluated whether ingestion SCL or sucrose (SUC) by youngrats interferes with parameters adult rat. We 21-day-old male wistarrats, which received pure water (control) added SUC SCL, until 60 days ag...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas apakah student center learning (SCL) dalam bentuk project based (PBL) dan case study (CSA) tepat digunakan pembelajaran bidang akuntansi dapat memberikan manfaat bagi siswa di akuntansi. dilakukan sehubungan dengan program Merdeka Belajar – Kampus yang diselenggarakan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Kebudayaan cenderung mengarah pada SCL. menggunakan metode s...

Polar codes are linear block that can achieve channel capacity at infinite code length. Successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding relies on a set of parallel decoders; it yields good error-correction performance finite length, the cost increased implementation complexity and power consumption. Current efforts in literature focus design-time decoder reduction, while lacking practical run-time ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biologically produced polyesters that have potential application as biodegradable plastics. Especially important are the short-chain-length-medium-chain-length (SCL-MCL) PHA copolymers, which have properties ranging from thermoplastic to elastomeric, depending on the ratio of SCL to MCL monomers incorporated into the copolymer. Because of the potential wide rang...

Botulinum toxin (BoTx) is well known as a popular drug of choice for spasticity relief [1-3]. Recent research shows that BoTx has synaptic competitive-learning (SCL) restoring properties that act at neuromuscular, spinal cord, and central nervous sensory-motor centers [4-6]. Contemporary research in sensory-motor cognitive systems indicate that in SCI, HCP,and stroke the motor paresis/ paralysi...

Intraoral spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are very rare and comprise ranging between 1.4%-9.8% of all intraoral lipomas. To our knowledge, no case of a SCL located on the soft palate has been reported in the English-language literature. A 31-year-old female was admitted with a swelling in her soft palate. On examination, a 3 cm sessile, nontender swelling was observed on her soft palate. After surgi...
