An invertebrate ichnoassemblage from the Moenkopi Group (Spathian Ankareh Formation) at Diamond Creek in north-central Utah consists of Gordia marina Emmons, Helminthopsis hieroglyphica Wetzel and Bromley and irregular networks similar to Unisulcus. This is the first record of Gordia and Helminthopsis from the Moenkopi Group. This low diversity ichnoassemblage, consisting of simple grazing trac...

E. Diener, R. J. Larsen, S. Levine, and R. A. Emmons (1985) distinguished between intensity and frequency as separable components in repeatedly measured affect. In this article, an improved way of differentiating intensity and frequency of affect is proposed that permits one to measure affect intensity separately for each emotion of interest. The results of 3 studies using this method provide f...

Lack of a suitable measuring device hampered the empirical study of narcissism until Raskin and Hall (1979) developed the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). The NPI possesses desirable psychometric properties, and in this article I used the scale in a variety of studies. Factor analysis of the scale replicated the four-factor solution found by Emmons (1984): Leadership/Authority, Self-Ab...

Does working on developing character strengths and relative character weaknesses cause lower life satisfaction than working on developing character strengths only? The present study provides a preliminary answer. After 76 college students completed the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (C. Peterson & M. E. P. Seligman, 2004), the authors randomly assigned them to work on 2 character stren...

Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Emmons, 1984) factors were correlated with Splitting, Self-Consciousness, Depression, Anxiety, and Self-Esteem. Exploitativeness/Entitlement was largely maladaptive, whereas Leadership/Authority, Superiority/Arrogance, and Self-Absorption/Self-Admiration yielded ambiguous outcomes. Partialing out Exploitativeness/Entitlement uncovered stronger ties of th...

The related marine natural products halichlorine, pinnaic acid, and tauropinnaic acid have been synthesized. The described route provided access to all three compounds from a common, late-stage intermediate. The synthesis began with 1-pyrrolidino-1-cyclopentene from which an intermediate possessing the three contiguous stereocenters of the natural products was synthesized in just four steps. Ol...

A new lungworm, Angiostrongylus minutus n. sp. (Nematoda: Metastrongylidae), was described from 13 out of 14 specimens of the Japanese shrew mole, Urotrichus talpoides TEMMINCK, which were collected at Yumoto, Nikko and areas near Lakes Saiko and Kawaguchi at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The male of this nematode is characterized by its minute body size, the existence of the gubernaculum, two simple b...

We have prepared and studied a series of new brassinosteroid derivatives with a p-substituted phenyl group in the side chain. To obtain the best comparison between molecular docking and biological activities both types of brassinosteroids were synthesized; 6-ketones, 10 examples, and B-lactones, 8 examples. The phenyl group was introduced into the steroid skeleton by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons. Th...

A primeira síntese total da substância antitumoral de origem marinha metacromina-A (1) foi alcançada através de uma abordagem sintética convergente e aplicável a preparação de análogos para estudos biológicos. A síntese envolveu doze etapas na sua sequência mais longa e dezesseis no total, apresentando como destaques (1) a eficácia na síntese da quinona intermediária 11; (2) a preparação eficie...
