BACKGROUND Few psychosocial interventions have been developed in China that are suitable for use in the community. AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of the Chinese version of the Community Re-Entry Module (CRM; a module of a standardised, structured social skills training programme devised at the University of California, Los Angeles) for patients with schizophrenia compared with standard gr...

The title organometallic complex, [Bi(C(6)H(5))(C(6)H(4)NO(3))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)], features a Bi(III) atom in a distorted pentagonal-pyramidal coordination by two N,O-donating bidentate 3-hy-droxy-picolinate (3-hpic) ligands, one monodentate dimethyl-formamide (dmf) mol-ecule and one phenyl ring. The C atom of the aryl ligand occupies the apical position of the BiCN(2)O(3) coordination polyhedron,...

This paper presents results of speciation analysis of soils coming from Silesia. In examinations a five-step extraction procedure has been applied. Direct analysis of sediments and analysis of extracts was carried out by the X-ray fluorescence spectrometry with wavelength dispersion. Examinations were carried out with the use of soil CRM S-l.

Despite all the efforts gaps such as the relationship between technological advances and service development are yet to be revealed from the perspective of new applications that organizations want to develop and implement. This paper explores opportunities using a comp...

Studies on the properties and applications of rubber cement-based materials are well documented. The sizes of rubbers used in these materials varied. However, information about the effects of rubber size on the properties of rubber cement-based materials, especially pore structure, mechanical strengths, and drying shrinkage properties, remains limited. Three groups of rubber with major particle...
