PURPOSE This study was set up to further establish the construct validity of the Self-Stigma of Stuttering Scale (4S) by demonstrating its associations with other established scales and replicating its original factor structure and reliability estimates. METHOD Web surveys were completed by 354 adults who stutter recruited from Board Certified Specialists in Fluency Disorders, and adult chapt...

This comment points out errors in the analysis of 61 magnetic hyperfine structure ($A$) constants Co II energy levels by Fu et al. [JQSRT 2021, 107590]. The paper was published without full awareness extensive literature already available for $A$ at time; 57 58 that were claimed to have been measured first time had prior work Ding \& Pickering [ApJS 2020, 251:24], who 292 II. constant 3d$^6$4s$...

Enantiomers (2S, 4S)- and (2R, 4R)-3-(naphthalene-1-ylmethyl) pentane-2,4-diols were synthesized by the reduction of (Z)-4-hydroxy-3-(naphthalene-1-ylmethyl) pent-3-en-2-one with NaBH4 in methanol (MeOH). Crystallization dichloromethane this racemic mixture led to simple crystals a crystalline habit similar morphologies; however, group them, it was possible find barely observable difference tha...

Isf (iron-sulfur flavoprotein) from Methanosarcina thermophila has been produced in Escherichia coli as a dimer containing two 4Fe-4S clusters and two FMN (flavin mononucleotide) cofactors. The deduced sequence of Isf contains six cysteines (Cys 16, Cys 47, Cys 50, Cys 53, Cys 59, and Cys 180), four of which (Cys 47, Cys 50, Cys 53, and Cys 59) comprise a motif with high identity to a motif (CX...

Edwards curves have attracted great interest for several reasons. When curve parameters are chosen properly, the addition formulas use only 10M+1S. The formulas are strongly unified, i.e., work without change for doublings; even better, they are complete, i.e., work without change for all inputs. Dedicated doubling formulas use only 3M + 4S, and dedicated tripling formulas use only 9M + 4S. Thi...

2014 Hartree-Fock values of discrete spectrum contributions to the parameters describing crossed secondorder effects of electrostatic and hyperfine interactions (Bauche-Amould parameters) have been calculated for 3dN 4s and 3dN-1 4s2 configurations of the first row transition metal atoms. An extrapolation procedure is proposed to estimate the total bound state contributions. It is shown that in...

The p-menthane monoterpenes of the Mentha species are biosynthesized from geranyl pyrophosphate via the monocyclic olefin 4S-limonene. A monoterpene cyclase was isolated from both Mentha x piperita (peppermint) and Mentha spicata (spearmint) that catalyzes the cyclization of geranyl pyrophosphate to 4S-limonene. This enzyme, 4S-limonene synthase, was purified to apparent homogeneity by dye liga...

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), a cell-cell adhesion molecule, has been revealed to perform an important role in tumor progression. Although there are a number of studies on CEACAM1 in patients with breast cancer, there is limited information on the roles of CEACAM1 in breast cancer metastasis. The present study aimed to identify whether CEACAM1 is involved ...
