objective(s):as far as we know,there has been no report regarding the effects of opium addiction or dependency of both parents on the learning and memory process in offspring. the aim of this study was to examine the learning and memory changes of adult male offspring whose mothers, fathers and/or both parents had dependency to opium before and during pregnancy. materials and methods: all exper...

objective: antisocial, aggressive and delinquent behaviors in adults often begin early in life. basal cortisol is a valuable biological marker in children with disruptive behavior disorder (dbd). to investigate the association between biological factor (cortisol) and disruptive behaviors, we studied the effect of family training on salivary cortisol level in children with dbd. methods: basal sa...

Abstract The effect of cobalt and aluminium on the austenite-to-pearlite transformation in a super-bainitic steel was investigated. The experimental work s...

In the present paper, a direct quenching of radical species by a number of synthesized nitrosoaryl 1,4-dihydropyridines and their parent nitroaryl 1,4-dihydropyridines was determined in aqueous media at pH 7.4. These two series of compounds were compared with the C-4 unsubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines derivatives and the corresponding C-4 aryl substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines derivatives. Kinet...

indirect evidence suggests that estrogen is involved in the etiology of breast cancer. estrogen is also thought to modulate nitric oxide (no) in human breast tumor tissue via regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos). objectives of this study were to determine whether estradiol (e2) affects inos expression level in breast cancer cells and to study the effect of various concentrations...

Following our previous studies on potassium poly(heptazine imide) (K-PHI), that is, catalyzed photooxidative [3+2] aldoxime-to-nitrile addition to form 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, we discovered electron-rich oximes yield the parent aldehydes instead of target products. In this work, mechanism singlet oxygen-mediated deoximation process was established using a series control reactions and spectroscopic m...

In this paper we introduce a generalization of the Neyman-Scott process (Neyman and Scott, 1958) that allows for regularity in the parent process. In particular, we consider the special case where the parent process is a Strauss process with offspring points dispersed about the parent points. Such a generalization allows for point realizations that show a mix of regularity and clustering in the...

This study investigated the relative associations between parent and child anxiety and parents’ cognitions about their children. One hundred and four parents of children aged 3–5 years completed questionnaires regarding their own anxiety level, their child’s anxiety level and their cognitions about the child, specifically parents’ expectations about child distress and avoidance, and parents’ pe...

OBJECTIVE To develop and evaluate adjustment factors to convert parent-reported time in bed to an estimate of child sleep time consistent with objective measurement. METHODS A community sample of 217 children aged 4-9 years (mean age = 6.6 years) wore actigraph wristwatches to objectively measure sleep for 7 days while parents completed reports of child sleep each night. After examining the m...

The paper explains the principles of multi-result supercompilation. We introduce a formalism for representing supercompilation algorithms as rewriting rules for graphs of configurations. Some low-level technical details related to the implementation of multi-result supercompilation in MRSC are discussed. In particular, we consider the advantages of using spaghetti stacks for representing graphs...
