Excited-state conversions were observed from a series of twisted pyrene-substituted tridurylboranes, corresponding to a locally excited (LE) state, a more planar charge transfer (CT) state with a higher fluorescence quantum efficiency, and a more twisted CT state.

Current models of analogical reasoning assume that representations of source examples and target problems occur in an amodal format--that is, a representation whose construction and processing are independent of activity in the perceptual and motor cortices of the brain. We examined the possible use of kinesthetic information--perceptual structures associated with the sensation of space and for...

A database search revealed extensive sequence similarity between Streptomyces lividans plasmid pIJ101 and Streptomyces plasmid pSB24. 2, which is a deletion derivative of Streptomyces cyanogenus plasmid pSB24.1. The high degree of relatedness between the two plasmids allowed the construction of a genetic map of pSB24.2, consisting of putative transfer and replication loci. Two pSB24.2 loci, nam...

PURPOSE The economic impact associated with the conversion from 10-mL vials of insulin to 3-mL vials and pens at a community hospital was assessed. METHODS Pharmacy purchasing and administrative data from Providence St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Oregon, were used in this analysis. The hospital converted floor-stock 10-mL vials of insulin in October 2010 to individual patient supply (IPS) ...

Milgram's series of obedience experiments and Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment are probably the two best-known psychological studies. As such, they can be understood as central to the broad process of psychologization in the postwar era. This article will consider the extent to which this process of psychologization can be understood as a simple overflow from the discipline of psychology t...

IT HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY REPORTED that most students use a combination of learning styles. Teachers can use a variety of teaching-learning methods, which may encourage adaptability and lifelong learning. Instructional strategies that are lively, educative, and encourage students to actively participate in the process are better than an uninterrupted exposition of information. This article was des...

Observing someone else perform an action can lead to false memories of self-performance - the observation inflation effect. One explanation is that action simulation via mirror neuron activation during action observation is responsible for observation inflation by enriching memories of observed actions with motor representations. In three experiments we investigated this account of source memor...
