The investigation of synthetic polymers for biological applications is increasing as assembly techniques for generating welldefined macromolecules from artificial building blocks become more sophisticated. Synthesis techniques have now evolved such that a wide variety of functional groups can be tolerated by polymerization catalysts, and a fascinating and diverse range of macromolecular and pol...

Background: A variety of therapeutic approaches have been implemented to treat posttraumatic stress symptoms and concomitant difficulties. Those interventions focusing on trauma are considered first-line treatment for children and adolescents. Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT, Cohen, Mannarino & Deblinger, 2006), and a similar type of group intervention, the Cognitive Behavio...

"Any act which takes a person further from life and nearer to death has been regarded as felony" was the logic of the medieval Europe. Suicide was punishable in Europe till the end of 18th century. Following the French revolution of 1789, attempted suicide was abolished as an offence in France, and soon other countries of Europe followed suit, and the recent addition to this list is England whi...

background and aim: one of the most important subjects in the study of suicide is the methods used to it. there are not accurate statistics relating to employed physical methods for suicide in our country. studies conducted in different provinces provided different results. this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of physical methods used in attempted suicides in iran. materials and methods:...

The issue of spatial scaling has grown in recent decades from a minor geeky obsession to mainstream methodological preoccupation virtually all fields science. Increasingly, scientists stripes have been challenged scale up their understanding physical, chemical and even social processes test tube or patch global scales, driven both by the opportunity increasingly sophisticated data sources need ...

Synthesis of sequence-defined oligourethanes (i.e., writing) followed by chemical self-immolation can yield mass fragments detectable standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) instruments reading). Expanding beyond the traditional binary approach chemically distinct monomers as 1s and 0s, in a recent issue Cell Reports Physical Science, Anslyn co-workers introduce hexadecimal enc...

Suicide terrorism has become an increasingly popular tactic used predominantly by religiously motivated sub-state groups. This suggests that such organizations are particularly successful in using suicide terrorism while maintaining (and perhaps increasing) their popular support. This success could be a product of devotion to specific religious creeds (Hypothesis 1) or of devotion to the collec...
