This study investigated the specification of educational compatibility within a technology acceptance model (TAM) suited to engaging technologies. Attitudes towards virtual reality (VR) for learning was used test experimental model. One hundred and seventy-nine valid survey responses were collected from 517 potential participants with majority first-year university students. The independent var...

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alpha-aryl-beta,beta-difluoroenol silyl and alpha-aryl-beta-fluoroenol silyl ethers with aryl bromides proceed smoothly with good functional compatibility.

Despite decades of research, empirical support for the “compatible genes” and “good genes” hypotheses as explanations for adaptive female extra-pair mating remains discordant. One largely un-tested theoretical prediction that could explain equivocal findings is that mating for compatible genes benefits should reduce selection for good genes. However, this prediction does not consider demographi...

Nano erythrocyte ghosts have recently been used as drug carriers of water-soluble APIs due to inherit biological characteristics of good compatibility, low toxicity, and small side-effect. In this study, we developed a novel drug delivery system based on nano erythrocyte ghosts (STS-Nano-RBCs) to transport Sodium Tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) for intravenous use in rat. STS-Nano-RBCs were prep...

Standard parton distribution function sets do not have rigorously quantified uncertainties. In recent years it has become apparent that these uncertainties play an important role in the interpretation of hadron collider data. In this paper, using the framework of statistical inference, we illustrate a technique that can be used to efficiently propagate the uncertainties to new observables, asse...

Consider a politician who has to take two sequential decisions during his term in office. For each decision, the politician faces a trade-off between taking what he believes to be the decision that generates a public benefit, thus increasing his chances of re-election, and taking the decision that increases his private gain but is likely to decrease his chances of re-election. In our results we...

The fallacy of the popular concept that "it's good enough for clinical purposes" is becoming more widely recognized as the potentialities of scientific methods in diagnosis and therapy increase. Such a manual as this should aim to raise the dignity and improve the quality of clinical chemistry and clinical chemists, not, by conceding to prevailing opinion, perpetuate its present mediocre estate...
