The antioxidant activity of 3-nitrophenylferrocene (3NPF) and 3,3'-nitrophenylferrocene (3,3'NPF) their reduced amines was measured using superoxide anion radical (). Binding parameters such as binding free energies constants were also calculated. sign values suggest respectively the spontaneity a strong interaction between all studied compounds. Molecular docking study showed that 3NPF is most...

Abstract Given that humour greatly impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty, this paper explores the dialogical forms of occurring in evening service encounters. It reports on a study focusing interactions between baristas customers. The latter belong to two groups: university students their late teens twenties, regulars over forty years old. establishments selected for are small cafes tapas b...

• Videos displayed onset asymmetries (OASs) in avatars’ emotional facial expressions. • We also varied OAS timing for the left hemi-face (LHF) and right hemi-face (RHF). • Perceivers more quickly and accurately detected OASs in targets’ LHF expressions. • Perceivers judged expressions with earlier LHF onsets as more spontaneous. • LHF anger was more accurately detected at 20 ms OAS (with no bia...

Social neuroscience, often viewed as studying the neural foundations of social cognition, has roots in multiple disciplines. This paper argues that it needs a firmer base in social psychology. First, we outline some major opportunities from social psychology--the power of social context and social motives in shaping human behavior. Second, as the social cognition field moves away from studying ...

The development of a Ward Atmosphere Scale, which differentiates between the social atmospheres of psychiatric inpatient wards, is described. An initial form of the scale was given to patients and staff on 14 wards from Veterans Administration, state, community, private, and university hospitals. The 2nd form of the scale consists of items which significantly differentiate between wards for pat...

The essay on Epilepsy, to which was awarded the prize by the Academie Royale de Medecine de Belgique, Dr. Hare has published in the Physicians' and Students' Ready Reference series. Like most prize essays, the work is mainly based upon the observations of others, and in some sections seems to lack that spontaneity and coherence found in the original work of an independent investigator. Not that...

Batch adsorption of recalcitrant melanoidin using the abundantly available coal fly ash was carried out. It had low specific surface area (SBET) of 1.7287 m2/g and pore volume of 0.002245 cm3/g while qualitative evaluation of the predominant phases in it was done by XRD analysis. Colour removal efficiency was found to be dependent on various factors studied. Maximum colour removal was achieved ...

Identity-based (ID-based) cryptosystems eliminate the need for validity checking of the certificates and the need for registering for a certificate before getting the public key. These two features are desirable especially for the efficiency and the real spontaneity of ring signature, where a user can anonymously sign a message on behalf of a group of spontaneously conscripted users including t...

In threshold ring signature schemes, any group of t entities spontaneously conscript arbitrarily n − t entities to generate a publicly verifiable t-out-of-n signature on behalf of the whole group, yet the actual signers remain anonymous. The spontaneity of these schemes is desirable for ad-hoc groups such as mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we present an identity based (ID-based) threshol...

Social Signal Processing is the domain aimed at bridging the social intelligence gap betweeen humans and machines via modeling, analysis and synthesis of nonverbal behavior in social interactions. One of the main challenges of the domain is to sense unobtrusively the behavior of social interaction participants, one of the key conditions to preserve the spontaneity and naturalness of the interac...
