Internet Electron. J. Mol. Des. 2003, 1, 000–000 Abstract Motivation. The periodic table (PT) of the elements suggests that hydrogen could be the origin of everything. The construction principle is an evolutionary process that is formally similar to those of Darwin and Oparin. The PT of fullerenes suggests that C60 could be the origin of fullerenes and C30 could be considered as the element zer...

In 1998, nearly one-third of Vietnamese children engaged in non-housework labor supply, 95% of these working children residing in rural areas. This paper investigates the impact of child labour on children’s educational outcomes in rural Vietnam using the 1998-Vietnam Living Standard Survey. The paper finds that child labor lowers children’s academic performance and the negative impact is bigge...

• Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments used to assess QoL among patients with recurrent GBM included the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), the EORTC QLQ Brain Cancer Module (EORTC QLQBN20), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)–General (FACT-G), the FACT–Brain (FACT-Br), and the 36-Item Short-Form ...

MÉTODOS: Aplicación basal, al mes 12, mes 24 y mes 36, del instrumento de medición de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud EORTC QLQ-C30 a la muestra poblacional (n= 111) citada, así como a una muestra de sujetos control (n= 100). Estudio comparativo de los resultados entre ambos grupos; entre las diferentes determinaciones temporales para los pacientes con BAC; e inter-categorías/ -interva...

Methods Systematic literature searches (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL) identified articles reporting HRQL data after curative treatments for oesophageal cancer from validated patient-completed questionnaires. The most frequently used instruments were examined (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-OES24, QLQ-OES18, SF-36 & FACT-E). Outcome reporting bias was explored by examining which of the instrument’s ...

It is commonly asserted that the standard wage equation derived from bargaining theory cannot be identified. Here, it is argued that the case for this alleged failure rests on an outmoded definition of identification. Newer concepts based on non-stationarities, cointegration and reduced rank are appropriate. An empirical example applying these concepts shows that the standard model can be deriv...

We derive a closed form expression for the asymptotic distribution of the LIML estimator for the coefficients of both endogenous and exogenous variables in a partially identified linear structural equation. We extend previous results of Phillips (1989) and Choi and Phillips (1992) where the focus was on IV estimators. We show that partial failure of identification affects the LIML in that its m...

The paper updates Isler's monograph of 1971 regarding the structures of naturally occurring carotenoids, their chemical reactions and their stereochemistry. Around ninety new structures are reported, including the new series of C30-carotenoids, enolized /3-diketones and several carotenoids with 2-hydroxy 3-rings. Progress in stereochemistry resulting in the configurational assignment of eleven ...

The addition of positively charged colloidal materials to the growth medium markedly increased the concentration of cellulase enzymes produced by Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30. Filter paper activities of up to 4 and 13 IU/ml have been achieved by the addition of colloidal materials, using 3% lactose and 3% cellulose, respectively, as a substrate. The particles exert their effect by binding soluble...

Analyser la durée de vie l’implant phonatoire et ses complications, l’efficacité réhabilitation vocale ainsi que son impact sur QdV. Une étude observationnelle monocentrique incluait les patients traités pour un carcinome épidermoïde du larynx ou l’hypopharynx par (pharyngo)-laryngectomie totale entre 2010 2015. Pour chaque patient, éléments suivants étaient recueillis : temps maximal phonation...
