Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic, relapsing, chronic disease that arises most commonly during infancy, childhood, or adolescence. It is clear that genetic factors are important in AD, a family history of AD, allergic rhinitis, and/or asthma and other “Atopic” phenomena being common in patient with AD. The two main pathogenetic characteristic of AD are: I) IgE-mediated antigen dependent “Spe...

to determine the non-bonded interaction energies between naphthalene and b12n12 nano ring in different orientations and distances, geometry of molecules with b3lyp method and 6-31g* basis set optimized. also reactivity and stability of naphthalene alone and in the presence b12n12 nano ring checked. then calculated the nbo, nmr, freq, nics and muliken charge of naphthalene atoms alone and in the...

a random 12 mers phage library was used to screen a pool of immunoglo¬bulin fractions obtained from vitiligo patients. subsequent to panning experiments, a panel of affinity selected phage from vitiligo patients were obtained. this panel was tested using an elis a for their reactivity with pooled sera from patients and normal controls. among the 16 randomly selected clones, two of clones showed...

The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Regulation of Cerebral Blood Flow in Man • Pharmacological blockade of the a adrenergic system by 20 mg phentolamine I.V. was shown not to influence CBF in 14 patients with an intact cerebral autoregulation. If the autoregulation—tested with angiotensin—was impaired for some reason, CBF was found to follow proportionally the blood pressure changes provoked...

Work ability of elderly managers may decrease probably due to a decreased cognitive flexibility. Moreover, cardiovascular reactivity to changing task demands might be less efficient in elderly. Younger (36-45 years) and elderly (49-60 years) German managers had to perform a switching task when they had to switch continuously between different rules of information processing or to use the same r...

Neurobiological models of obesity postulate that obese individuals have difficulty regulating food intake partly because they attribute excessive salience to stimuli signaling food availability. Typically, human studies that investigate the relationship between brain responses to food-related stimuli and obesity present food cues without subsequent delivery of food. However, in order to identif...

Global ecosystem models may require microbial components to accurately predict feedbacks between climate warming and soil decomposition, but it is unclear what parameters and levels of complexity are ideal for scaling up to the globe. Here we conducted a model comparison using a conventional model with first-order decay and three microbial models of increasing complexity that simulate shortto l...

In this work we studied three dyes which are proposed for potential photovoltaic applications and named Dye7, Dye7-2t and Dye7-3t. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) was utilized, using the M05-2X hybrid meta-GGA functional and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. This level of calculation was used to find the optimized molecular structure and to predict the main molecular vibrations, the absorption and...

To better understand the relationship between mindfulness and depression, we studied normal young adults (n=27) who completed measures of dispositional mindfulness and depressive symptomatology, which were then correlated with: a) Rest: resting neural activity during passive viewing of a fixation cross, relative to a simple goal-directed task (shapematching); and b) Reactivity: neural reactivit...
