BACKGROUND Brief interventions can reduce alcohol consumption in young people through screening and delivery of personally relevant feedback. Recently, Web and mobile platforms have been harnessed to increase the reach of brief interventions. Existing literature on mobile-based alcohol brief interventions indicates mixed use of theory in developing interventions. There is no research available ...

Among several strategies for reducing alcohol consumption, internet-based interventions present good indicators of cost-effectiveness. The internet, in Brazil, has approximately 76 million users, which consists of 37.8% of the entire population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate websites and identify interventions aimed at internetassisted reduction for alcohol consumption and alcoholis...

In biodiesel preparation from vegetable oils and alcohol through transesterification process in the presence of a catalyst, excess alcohol, typically 100% more than the theoretical molar requirement, is used in existing batch and continuous-flow processes in order to drive the reversible transesterification reaction to a high enough conversion rate. The excess alcohol needs to be recovered in a...

Gums were precipitated from solutions gL,Tail End Syrup and Affination Syrup6sing.acidified alcohol. The precipitated solution was centrifuged and the gums washed by successive mixing, centrifuging and decanting with alcohol. The washed gums were dissolved in hot water and reprecipitated with acidified alcohol. After further washing the gums were re-dissolved. The gums and starch content of the...

This research examined how group processes alter the impact of alcohol on a judgment task requiring vigilance. The authors compared two competing explanations, deindividuation and group monitoring, for the possible effects of alcohol. Two hundred and eighty-six undergraduates with normal drinking habits undertook a vigilance task alone or in four-person groups having consumed either alcohol (ca...

Acute alcohol intoxication during encoding can impair subsequent identification accuracy, but results across studies have been inconsistent, with studies often finding no effect. Little is also known about how alcohol intoxication affects the identification confidence-accuracy relationship. We randomly assigned women (N = 153) to consume alcohol (dosed to achieve a 0.08% blood alcohol content) ...

thermoplastic starch (tps) materials present several advantages to the plastic industry andwhen blended with other materials they can exhibit improved mechanical and moisturesensitivity properties compared to pure tps materials. further investigations on tps: pvablends are of particular interest due to their excellent compatibility and improved properties suchas tensile strength, elongation, to...

AIMS Rats avidly consume non-alcoholic beer, and addition of alcohol to non-alcoholic beer may function as a medium to induce intake of large amounts of alcohol in rats. The present study investigated whether Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) and Sardinian non-preferring (sNP) rats, initially exposed to non-alcoholic beer, and subsequently to non-alcoholic beer containing increasing concentrati...
