Interactions between the surfaces of planar and nonplanar molecules have generated considerable interest in materials chemistry as critical elements for understanding twodimensional supramolecular assembly, molecular and chiral recognition, and heterogeneous catalysis. Carbon-rich balland bowl-shaped polyaromatic molecules, such as fullerenes and fullerene fragments or buckybowls, figure promin...

We investigated the retrieval of location information, and the deployment of attention to these locations, following (described) event-related location changes. In two visual world experiments, listeners viewed arrays with containers like a bowl, jar, pan, and jug, while hearing sentences like "The boy will pour the sweetcorn from the bowl into the jar, and he will pour the gravy from the pan i...

Two dives of the DSV Shinkai 6500 in the Mariana Trough back-arc basin in the western Pacific sampled back-arc basin mantle exposures. Reports of peridotite exposures in back-arc basin setting are very limited and the lack of samples has hindered our understanding of this important aspect of lithospheric evolution. The Mariana Trough is a slow-spreading ridge, and ultramafic exposures with asso...

Masyarakat, khususnya ibu-ibu rumah tangga (IRT) Perumahan Bukit Bambe, Driyorejo- Gresik belum mampu berproduktif dan berdaya guna secara ekonomi. Pendapatanya yang rata-rata masih di bawah UMK untuk menambah pendapatan kepala keluarga. Meskipun beberapa IRT sudah menjalankan usaha olahan makanan rumahan nasi kemasan, tetapi menopang perekonomian keluarga karena tingkat peminatannya cenderung ...

Design of experiments (DOE) offers a great deal of benefits to any manufacturing organization, such as characterization of variables and sets the path for the optimization of the levels of these variables (settings) trough the Response surface methodology, leading to process capability improvement, efficiency increase, cost reduction. Unfortunately, the use of these methodologies is very limite...

The meaning of a word usually depends on the context in which it occurs. This study investigated the neural mechanisms involved in computing word meanings that change as a function of syntactic context. Current semantic processing theories suggest that word meanings are retrieved from diverse cortical regions storing sensory-motor and other types of semantic information and are further integrat...

Bilateral Free Trade Agreement (BTAs) have been proliferating. The outcome of this proliferation of often overlapping BTAs and PTAs is described as the spaghetti bowl effect or, in the Asian region, the noodle bowl effect. This is costly, and welfare reducing. How do we remedy the situation? In this paper, we consider the various options proposed in dealing with the spaghetti bowl, and assess t...

BACKGROUND Common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVIDs) are the most common forms of symptomatic primary antibody failure in adults and children. Replacement immunoglobulin is the standard treatment, although there are few consistent data on optimal dosages and target trough IgG levels required for infection prevention. OBJECTIVE To provide data to support the hypothesis that each patie...

Griliches and the anonymous referee for very helpful comments. Partial financial support from the World Bank through RPO 676-24 is gratefully acknowledged. How can parents secure old-age support in the form of care, attention or financial transfers from their children? We explore the enforcement of implicit intergenerational agreements from a fresh angle by studying the possibility that the chi...

INTRODUCTION To investigate the pattern of vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity in children and to examine potential predisposing factors for nephrotoxicity, including average serum trough concentrations ≥10 μg/mL. METHODS Patients ≥1 week old to ≤15 years with normal baseline serum creatinine values who received vancomycin for ≥48 h between October 2010 and September 2012 were retrospectivel...
