objective : poor premorbid adjustment has been reported to be a predictor of more severe psychotic symptoms and poor quality of life in such psychotic disorders  as  schizophrenia.  however,  most  studies  were  performed  on chronic schizophrenic patients, and proposed the likelihood of recall biases and the effect of chronicity.  the aim of this study was to investigate these factors in a sa...

The kinetics of repair of radiation-induced DNA damage and recovery from radiation-induced potentially lethal damage (PLD) for fed plateau-phase 9L/Ro rat brain tumor cells were compared after single doses of 7-radiation and after combined treatment with 3 /tg of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1 -nitrosourea (BCNU)/ml given 16 hr prior to irradiation. DNA damage and repair were assayed using alkaline f...

The kinetics of repair of radiation-induced DNA damage and recovery from radiation-induced potentially lethal damage (PLD) for fed plateau-phase 9L/Ro rat brain tumor cells were compared after single doses of gamma-radiation and after combined treatment with 3 micrograms of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU)/ml given 16 hr prior to irradiation. DNA damage and repair were assayed using ...

Recovery of severely deformed ferrite was followed in situ by High Energy X Ray Diffraction during heating and isothermal holding experiments. Dislocation densities annealing were determined a modified Williamson Hall method. The deduced recovery kinetics compared to post-mortem hardness measurements. A temperature dependent saturation exhibited holding. density drop behavior cannot be reproduc...

The physiological equivalents of the curvature constant (W') of the high-intensity power-duration (P-t(LIM)) relationship are poorly understood, although they are presumed to reach maxima/minima at exhaustion. In an attempt to improve our understanding of the determinants of W', we therefore aimed to determine its recovery kinetics following exhaustive exercise (which depletes W') concomitantly...

based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. the results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to othe...

We report the use of second harmonic generation (SHG) to study kinetics of adsorption of p-nitrophenol at the air/water interface of a flowing jet. Measurements of the SH signal strength and the polarization of the SH light at various distances (times) along the jet axis yield information about the development of the population density and orientation of nitrophenol at the air/ water interface....

The transcriptional activity of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a dynamic process and therefore measuring the kinetics of the transcriptional process in vivo is of importance. Pol II kinetics have been measured using biochemical or molecular methods. In recent years, with the development of new visualization methods, it has become possible to follow transcription as it occurs in real time in sing...
