An ellipsoidal radiometer has been characterized using a 25 mm variable-temperature blackbody as a radiant source. This radiometer is intended for separating radiation from convection effects in fire test methods. The characterization included angular response, responsivity, and purge-gas flow effect studies. The angular response measurements showed that the reflection from the radiometer cavit...

The objective of the current study was to create an in vitro model that duplicated the development of PSE pork. Postrigor pork chops with various pH values and normal color were vacuum-packaged, and heated at approximately 42 degrees C for various times (0, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 240 min), or heated to temperatures that occur early postmortem (34, 37, 39, or 42 degrees C for 60 or 120 min) in a wa...

OBJECTIVE This treatment development study investigated the acceptability and efficacy of a modified version of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for bulimia nervosa (BN), entitled appetite focused DBT (DBT-AF). METHOD Thirty-two women with binge/purge episodes at least one time per week were randomly assigned to 12 weekly sessions of DBT-AF (n = 18) or to a 6-week delayed treatment control ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of emotional eating and lack of cognitive reappraisal on eating pathology in women with binge-purge and restricting type eating disorders. METHOD Women with a diagnosis of anorexia or bulimia nervosa according to the DSM-IV-tr (n = 50) and non-clinical women without eating disorders (n = 52) were asked about emotional eating tendencies, adaptive emotion regu...

ANALYSIS OF NON-ESTERIFIED FATTY ACIDS IN HUMAN PLASMA BY CAPILLARY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH SPLITLESS INJECTION. The aim of the present work was to test the combination of non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) isolation using fumed silicon dioxide with capillary gas-chromatography (C-GC) with splitless injection for the analysis of NEFAs in human plasma. Injection volume, solvent re-condensation and...
