Borderline personality disorder is a particularly devastating, yet understudied form of psychopathology. One of the most significant gaps in existing knowledge is the lack of systematic, prospective empirical attention to the developmental precursors of borderline personality. The present investigation was an exploratory attempt to address this limitation through (a) development of a psychometr...

Environmental chemicals are known to disrupt the endocrine system in humans and to have adverse effects on several organs including the developing brain. Recent studies indicate that exposure to environmental chemicals during gestation can interfere with neuronal differentiation, subsequently affecting normal brain development in newborns. Xenoestrogen, bisphenol A (BPA), which is widely used i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Infarct volume and location have a weak relationship with motor deficit in patients with chronic stroke. Recent research has focused on the relationship between spared or seemingly "healthy" neural tissue and motor function. In this study we examined MRI scans of patients with chronic stroke to determine if characteristics of seemingly normal parenchyma could predict eith...

Widespread use of bisphenols (BPs) in our daily life results in their elevated concentrations in waters and the need to study their environmental impact, which demands reliable and robust measurement techniques. Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) is an in situ passive sampling approach which provides time-integrated data. In this study we developed a new methodology, based on DGT with acti...

This article’s main goal is to investigate the concept of multi-polar fuzzy sets (MPF-sets) in LA-semi-groups, which an extension bi-polar (BPF-sets) LA-semigroups. The objective this research extend certain significant BPF-set results MPF-sets results. article introduces concepts sub LA-semigroups, quasi-ideals, bi-ideals, generalized and interior ideals also discusses a number fundamental asp...

Traditionally aerial parts of Barleria prionitis Linn. has been used in the inflammation, fever & toothache. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activity of 50% ethanolic extract of the flower of B. prionitis (BPF) in experimental animals. The BPF in doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg caused a dose-dependent inhibition of swelling caused by carrag...

Abstarct: A Band Pass Filter is one of the key components in the receive chain of any Transmit-Receive Module of an Active Array Radar. The critical parameter for the design of a BPF for a TR module is the form factor,insertion loss and rejection. Hence a microstrip based interdigital (tapped) BPF for S-Band TR Module (3.1-3.5 GHz) was designed. The filter was designed to achieve a typical inse...

A cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM) is implemented in a periodic quadrupole waveguide. The device oscillates at the fundamental and high harmonics of the cyclotron frequency. This CRM employs a tenuous low-energy electron beam ( approximately 10 keV, 0.2 A). The periodic structure consists of an array of disks along the quadrupole transmission line, hence it combines both azimuthal and axial peri...

Many versions of Unix provide facilities for user-level packet capture, making possible the use of general purpose workstations for network monitoring. Because network monitors run as user-level processes, packets must be copied across the kernel/user-space protection boundary. This copying can be minimized by deploying a kernel agent called a packet filter, which discards unwanted packets as e...

We propose a design theory of the miniaturized high temperature superconducting (HTS) coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF), which is composed of meanderline quarter-wavelength resonator, Jand K-inverters. The Jand K-inverters are realized by using interdigital gap and meander-shape inductor. To evaluate the kinetic inductance of the K-inverter, we fabricate the YBCO resonator connecte...
