The Attention-Distraction, Inhibition-Excitation Classroom Assessment Scale (ADIECAS) [Evans, P. L. C. (1975). Inhibition and stimulus generalization in the discrimination learning of ESN(S) and ESN(M) children. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. Manchester, UK: University of Manchester] assesses attention-related difficulties in children with intellectual disabilities (ID). The present study explored t...

Based on the CCD observations of remote young open clusters NGC 2383, NGC 2384, NGC 4103, NGC 4755, NGC 7510 and Hogg 15, we construct their observed luminosity functions (LFs). The observed LFs are corrected for field star contamination determined with the help of galactic star count model. In the case of Hogg 15 and NGC 2383 we also considered the additional contamination from neighboring clu...

The ability of heparin to dramatically enhance the inactivation of thrombin (IIa) by antithrombin III (ATIII) in buffer is negated through formation of a IIa-fibrin-heparin ternary complex (Hogg and Jackson, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:3619, 1989; Hogg and Jackson, J Biol Chem 265:241, 1990). IIa, in this ternary complex, is protected from inactivation by ATIII. Our aim was to determine whether f...
