BACKGROUND Although several studies have mentioned associations between neuropsychiatric symptoms, there have been no prospective studies determining interrelations among behavioural sub-syndromes. OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of several clinical variables on the course of neuropsychiatric symptoms, and to determine interrelationships between the behavioural sub-syndromes. METHOD...

The present experiment examined pilot response to the rapid cycling of automation. The experiment was conducted using a multi-task simulation environment consisting of tracking, fuel management, and system monitoring sub-tasks. Monitoring and fuel management sub-tasks were performed manually in all conditions. The tracking sub-task cycled between manual and automated control at fixed intervals ...

Exposure to antibiotics is considered to be the major driver in the selection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and may induce diverse biological responses in bacteria. MTAD is a common intracanal irrigant, but its bactericidal activity remains to be improved. Previous studies have indicated that the antimicrobial peptide nisin can significantly improve the bactericidal activity of MTAD against ...

Understanding the structure-property relationships of materials in order to supress thermal conductivity is crucial for developing efficient thermoelectric generators and barrier coatings. We synthesise two mixed-anion materials, Bi 8 CsO SeX 7 (X...

Exergy analysis is receiving considerable attention as an approach to be applied for making decisions toward moving a sustainable and energy-efficient food supply chain. This study focuses on how the selection of variety affects exergy flow paddy rice production system. In this regard, nine varieties in Italy, largest producer Europe, were evaluated using cumulative approach. Sensitivity inputs...
