Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during childhood is vital for development. Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) are suggested to be less active, and no measure of intensity and time spent in MVPA has ...

Recently, we reported the development of a sensitive continuous spectrophotometric assay for the ascorbate-dependent mammalian enzyme dopamine beta-monooxygenase based on the novel chromophoric electron donor 2-aminoascorbic ...

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured in the absence and presence of contralateral noise at five levels--below, equal to, and above the middle-ear muscle (MEM) reflex threshold. The resultant ...

The association of parental discipline and monitoring with the early conduct problems of 123 boys and girls was assessed in a highly disadvantaged, African American sample. Prospective analyses indicated that, after earlier ...

Three variables were tested as moderators of the relationship between peer deviancy training and child antisocial behavior in a longitudinal study of 267 boys and girls from ages 5.3 to 9.3 years. Deviancy training was ...

In this thesis, the performance of a decentralized system was analyzed based upon the design of the controller, either a reduced-order model or a full-order model. The singular perturbation technique was used to obtain the ...

A major issue for contemporary cable networks under flat pricing is that heavy users can cause severe network congestion and light users subsidize heavy users. This problem is exaggerated when network participants do not ...

A 'molecular clip' featuring a near-IR emitting fluorophore, BF(2)-chelated tetraarylazadipyrromethane (aza-BODIPY) covalently linked to two porphyrins (MP, M = 2H or Zn) has been newly synthesized to host a three-dimensional ...

This thesis is a comparative based on the report published by the Qualifications and Curriculum authority, and on a paper written by Oulton et al. in the United Kingdom. This study tries to explore the similarities and ...

A convenient method to obtain unknown chiral C2- and C3-functionalized aldono-1,4-lactone derivatives starting from l-ascorbic acid, which would be valuable in the synthesis of derivatives of various pharmacologically ...
