The increased demand for more sustainability of inhibitor systems in open cooling water circuit applications has dominated much of the development activity in this area in recent years. Biodegradability has been a top priority in this context due to ever more restrictive legislation in Europe regarding the discharge of chemicals into flowing waters. Various biodegradable scale inhibitor formula...

Stress has been associated with poor self-control. Individual differences in impulsivity and other behavioral tendencies may influence the relationship of stress with self-control, although this possibility has not been examined to date. The present research investigated whether cumulative stress is associated with poor self-control, and whether this relationship is mediated by impulsivity, beh...

Objective To perform a meta-analysis of randomized, blinded, multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials, to test the hypothesis that efficacy of immunomodulatory disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) on MS disability progression is strongly dependent on age. Methods We performed a literature search with pre-defined criteria and extracted relevant features from 38 clinical trials that assessed effic...

Deficits in inhibitory control have been linked to aggression and violent behaviour. This study aimed to observe whether violent adolescents show different brain activation patterns during response inhibition and to ascertain the roles these brain regions play. A self-report method and modified overt aggression scale (MOAS) were used to evaluate violent behaviour. Functional magnetic resonance ...

World wide crop losses without the use of pesticides and other non-chemical control strategies is estimated to be about 70% of crop production, amounting to U.S. $ 400 billion. Many insect pest families are known which cause serious damage to agriculture crops. Insect pest menace is one of the major factors that destabilize crop productivity in agricultural ecosystems. They are responsible for ...

Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 are at increased risk for the development of attention problems relative to their unaffected peers. Previous studies have reported deficits in sustained auditory attention, but other aspects of attention, including sustained visual attention, divided attention, response inhibition, and selective attention, have not been consistently documented. In the pres...

The specific serotonin (5-HT) releaser, d-fenfluramine (DFEN) was used as a probe of serotonergic effects on prepulse inhibition (PPI). We wished to explore the notion that increased central serotonergic transmission was in part responsible for the psychotomimetic effects of hallucinogens using a relevant and objective physiological measure. Disruption of PPI is considered a valid pharmacologic...

Deleterious ATM alterations are found in metastatic prostate cancer (PC); PARP inhibition has antitumour activity against this subset, but only some loss PCs respond. To characterise ATM-deficient lethal PC and to study synthetic therapeutic strategies for subset. We studied advanced biopsies using validated immunohistochemical (IHC) next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays. In vitro cell line m...

objective: the purpose of this study is to compare the executive functions children and adolescents who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) with normal children. method: twenty children with adhd were compared to 19 healthy children terms of some executive functions using the computerized version of tower london, continuous performance test (cpt), and stroop color test. ...

objective: there are controversial reports about factors that affect recovery from stuttering. in the ‎present study, the effect of hand dominancy, fine motor and inhibition control on late ‎recovery from stuttering was investigated among a group of kurdish-persian children who ‎stuttered in iran.‎ method: twenty-two kurdish-persian children aged 7-14 years who stuttered were followed for 6 ‎ye...
