The purpose was to show that when a favor reduces a person's freedom, it arouses "psychological reactance," a motivational state aimed at restoration of this freedom. Ss, run individually, learned they were to make Ist-imprcssion ratings of another S (confederate) and then were given a soft drink by this S, prior to making the ratings. In a 2 X 2 design, the Ist-imprcssion ratings were given lo...

An up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (UASFF) bioreactor was used to treat the pretreated palm oil mill effluent (POME). In physical pretreatment, POME was pre-settled for 2 h and the supernatant was fed into the reactor. In chemical pretreatment, optimum dosages of cationic and anionic polymers were used. Experiments of pretreated POME digestion were conducted based on a central composite fac...

Milbemycins are a family of sixteen-membered macrolides produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. aureolacrimosus. They exhibit broadspectrum insecticidal and acaricidal activity. * ~ 3) In the course of our studies on the microbial conversion of milbemycins, we obtained 13/?hydroxymilbemycins A3 (2b), A4 (lb), and D (3b) from milbemycins A3 (2a), A4 (la), and D (3a), respectively, and 1 3j...

We report the results of a new experimental search for a permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg utilizing a stack of four vapor cells. We find d(199Hg)=(0.49+/-1.29_{stat}+/-0.76_{syst})x10;{-29} e cm, and interpret this as a new upper bound, |d(199Hg)|<3.1x10;{-29} e cm (95% C.L.). This result improves our previous 199Hg limit by a factor of 7, and can be used to set new constraints on CP v...

Several investigators (Gratia and Jaiman, 1921; Colvin, 1932) have noted the failure of lysis of susceptible bacteria by bacteriophage in various body fluids. In studies with mycobacteriophages (White and Knight, 1959) it was shown that a factor precipitated by ammonium sulfate in the y-globulin fraction of human serum prevented propagation by mycobacteriophage D-29 on human tubercle bacilli. I...

An experience sampling study assessed the relation between psychological functioning in daily life and emotional expressivity as measured by the emotional expressivity scale (EES). Four hundred and twenty-nine participants carried personal digital assistants that signaled them 8 times daily to complete questionnaires assessing affect, activities, and social contact.

A survey was conducted to assess competencies of dental graduates of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya, as perceived by the graduates and their employers, based on the five-year undergraduate curriculum introduced in 1995. All senior dental officers in the Ministry of Health (MOH), representing employers, and all 164 dental graduates of the years 2000, 2001, and 2002 were sent a se...

For much of its existence, Nigeria was governed by the military. From 1960 to 2007, a total of forty-seven years, the military ruled for twenty-nine years. The remaining eighteen years was taken up by civilian rule. The search for a functional and cohesive Nigeria was a constant leitmotiv that ran throughout the period. This search is what has been termed nation-building. The federal government...
