The aim of this study was to assess for the first time different dimensions of narcissistic self-regulation in a large cohort of adult patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) (n=50). From preliminary studies it is suggested that narcissistic personality trait and disorder, respectively, are relatively uncommon and occur in only 6-10% of GTS patients. In this study we used the Narciss...

In this work, an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique has been used for deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of glass fiber textures (GTs) to increase the volume conductivity and the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of CNT/glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) composites. Comprehensive experimental studies have been conducted to establish the influence of electric fiel...

Abstract Considering the changes of gas transmission system (hereinafter – GTS) brought about by diversification suppliers, new interconnections with European GTS and implementation an open electricity market then market, a steady-state modelling tool has been developed for future in risk resilience analysis potentially operational planning different or other purposes. The method combines linea...

Significant quantities of pharmaceutical substances enter biological wastewater treatment plants, where they interact with activated sludge microorganisms. An example a commonly used is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF). The presence high concentrations DCF in can disrupt nutrient removal processes, which are highly sensitive to external environmental factors. This paper...

Background: GTS, PTSM and ATSM are bis-thiosemicarbazone ligands used in the preparation of copper radiopharmaceuticals. Chemical structure of these materials indicates that they should have radio-protective effects.Objective: To study the radio-protective effects of GTS, PTSM and ATSM. Methods: This study has focused on radio-protective effects of these compounds at different doses (20, 40 and...

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) can be characterized by enhanced cognitive functions related to creating, modifying and maintaining connections between stimuli responses (S-R links). Specifically, two areas, procedural sequence learning and, as a novel finding, also event file binding, show converging evidence of hyperfunctioning in GTS. In this review, we describe how these considered mec...

The goal of the study, is to specify mechanical properties of epoxy and acrylic-based adhesives commonly used for bonding of metal connections. For this reason, the bulk specimens, manufactured from Devcon A and Akfix-E300 as epoxy material, Erde GTR and Erde GTS as acrylic based adhesive material, were cast in accordance with the test standards. The mechanical properties of the specimens obtai...

Three cases of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (GTS) who experienced different tic related behaviours in response to both external and internal stimuli are described. Such behaviours might represent sensory tics, reflex motor tics, exaggerated startle responses, or obsessive compulsive behaviours. It is suggested that there is a continuum of stimulus induced behaviours, and that, in some cases...
