Backward evaluative conditioning has been shown to result in assimilative effects where backward conditional stimuli (CS) acquire the valence of unconditional stimulus (US) or contrast CSs opposite US. The current experiments were designed assess whether nature varies as a function US offset predictability, manipulated by varying duration (fixed vs. variable), US-CS overlap (overlap no overlap)...

Magos, L., and Butler, W. H. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med., 29,95-98. Effect of phenobarbitone and starvation on hepatotoxicity in rats exposed to carbon disulphide vapour. Male albino rats given 80 and 50 mg/kg phenobarbitone sodium by intraperitoneal injection 24 and 18 hours before 4-hour exposure to 2-0 mg/l carbon disulphide (CS2) developed hydropic degeneration in the centrilobular zone ...

ABSTRACT The reduction of the nitride-bridged diuranium(IV) complex Cs[{U(OSi(OtBu)3)3}2(μ-N)]affords the first example of a uranium nitride complex containing uranium in the +III oxidation state. Two nitride-bridged complexes containing the heterometallic fragments Cs2[U(III---)-N-(---U(IV)] and Cs3[U(III---)-N-(---U(III)] have been crystallographically characterized. The presence of two or th...

This paper considers an integrated formulation in selecting the best normal mean in the case of unequal and unknown variances. The formulation separates the parameter space into two disjoint parts, the preference zone (PZ) and the indifference zone (IZ). In the PZ we insist on selecting the best for a correct selection (CS1) but in the IZ we define any selected subset to be correct (CS2) if it ...

By chopping 820 nm 18 femtosecond (fs)-laser pulses, continuously generated by a self-mode locked Ti:Al2O3 laser at 82 MHz, into trains with both train-width and train-to-train separation considerably longer than the thermal diffusivity time constant τth of CS2, we conducted Z-scan measurements on it at various times relative to the leading pulse of each train (T's). As a result, we observed ne...

Concerted research is being carried out to synthèses various types of metal acetylides. Acetylides give excellent reaction versatility towards metal counterpart. Flexibility in the molecular conformation also increases. In this project two metal acetylides of iron and tungsten have been prepared. [LM(CO)nC≡CR] [{L= 5 -C5H5, M = W, R = ( 5 -C5H4)Fe( 5 C5H5), n = 3},{L= 5 -C5Me5, M = Fe, R = Ph, ...

Catalytic aqueous polymerization of butadiene by the cobalt catalyst system [Co(C8H13)(C4H6)]/CS2 affords colloidally stable latices of highly crystalline syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene (Tm ) 190 °C, ∆Hc ) 60 J/g, Mw ∼ 105 g/mol, 97% 1,2, 3% 1,4-cis). Catalyst modification with reagents containing electrophilic carbon atoms (e.g., aromatic formamides) strongly decreases polymer crystallinity (T...

The first major mass extinction of trilobites occurred at the transition from Cambrian Series 2 (CS2) to Miaolingian (M) and coincided with a large marine transgression volcanic eruptions igneous province (LIP). Understanding causal links between these events is important in deciphering environmental changes life evolution that time. This paper presents S-Hg-C isotopic Fe speciation data for ca...

Measuring the mass balance of ice sheets is important with respect to understanding among others sea level rise, glacier dynamics, global ocean circulation and marine ecosystems. One parameter surface melt, which can be estimated from different satellite data sources. In this study we investigate potential utilizing machine learning techniques for CryoSat-2 (CS2) radar altimeter waveform classi...
