Moll (S Afr J Sci. 2023;119(1/2), Art. #12916) argues that we are not currently living in the Fourth Industrial Age (4IR). In this response to Moll, I contest Moll’s argument does correctly reflect understanding or definition of 4IR as presented pivotal texts leading global and South African advocates. believe that, had focused on initially by Schwab, is, around fusion technologies across digit...

Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862-1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862-1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an 'occult complex'. Moll's analysis concluded ...

1. Uptake studies using radioactive octopamine have revealed that the larval lantern of the Photuris firefly possesses a concentrative, high-affinity uptake system for octopamine. This compound has been shown previously to be the neurotransmitter of the photomotor neurones. 2. Imipramine is a potent inhibitor of the uptake of octopamine in the lantern. At 10~moll~', it reduces specific uptake o...

Apocrine glands of Moll are regular components of primate eyelids. We studied the distribution and localization of these glands in three different primate species, the common marmoset, the rhesus monkey, and the hamadryas baboon. In addition, we tested the primate glands of Moll with antibodies against antimicrobial proteins, cytoskeletal proteins and the androgen receptor. The glands of Moll d...

Miconazole is reduced at mercury electrode above pH 6 involving organometallic compound formation, responsible for an anomalous polarographic behavior. The electrodic process presents a large contribution of the adsorption effects. The drug can be determined by cathodic stripping voltammetry from 8.0 x 10(-8) to 1, 5 x 10(-6) molL-1 in Britton-Robinson buffer pH 8.0, when pre-accumulated for 30...

*Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract In this work, a new method was developed for the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide at glassy carbon electrode modified with silver nanoparticles and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Silver incorporated in this modified electrode acted as catalyst to reduce hydrogen peroxide. First, the electrochemical behavior of silver, incorporated in m...

The modern notion of sexuality took shape at the end of the nineteenth century, especially in the works of Richard von Krafft-Ebing and Albert Moll. This modernisation of sexuality was closely linked to the recognition of sexual diversity, as it was articulated in the medical-psychiatric understanding of what, at that time, was labelled as perversion. From around 1870, psychiatrists shifted the...

Our experiments show that octopamine receptors are present on the developing follicles of an insect, Rhodniusprolixus. Application of D,L-octopamine decreased the duration and overshoot of calcium-dependent action potentials (APs), and increased the intrafollicular concentration of cyclic AMP. The threshold concentration of D,L-octopamine for the reduction in electrical excitability was between...

The present study describes a simple and highly selective method for separation, preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of extremely low concentrations of lead. It is based on flotation of a complex of Pb(2+) ions and Alizarin yellow between aqueous and n-hexane interface at pH = 6. The proposed procedure is also applied for determination of lead in both tap water and prepared se...
