BACKGROUND Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a prevalent health condition that is frequently unrecognized despite the substantial evidence that has accumulated regarding how it affects children's health, education and skills. Most literature focuses on measurement of impairment and description of intervention approaches for individual children; little is known about the principles th...

Copper and zinc complexes of 5,5-dimethyl-10,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)isocorrole are presented, including the first crystal structures of the free base and 5-isocorrole metal complexes.

To examine what, if any, are the differences in how activities are coordinated within-firms vs. between-firms we conducted interviews with 32 project managers regarding 60 projects in the offshore software services industry. Uniquely, our projects were sampled along two dimensions: (1) co-location vs. spatial distribution and (2) were delivered by groups of individuals from a single firm vs. fr...

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Olive for his invaluable assistance and insights leading to the writing of this paper. Many of the examples and definitions have been quoted directly from his book. My sincere thanks also goes to the members of my graduate committee, Dr. Jeyratnam and Dr. Hughes for their patience and time dedicated to read and discuss this paper. I would also like to t...

Specific behavioral patterns are expressed by complex combinations of muscle coordination. Tremors are simple behavioral patterns and are the focus of studies investigating motor coordination mechanisms in the brain. T-type Ca(2+) channels mediate intrinsic neuronal oscillations and rhythmic burst spiking, and facilitate the generation of tremor rhythms in motor circuits. Despite substantial ev...

A novel method of photoinduced synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides from triarylbismuthines and diaryl diselenides has been developed. Although the arylation reactions with triarylbismuthines are usually catalyzed by transition-metal complexes, the present arylation of diaryl diselenides with triarylbismuthines proceeds upon photoirradiation in the absence of transition-metal catalysts. ...

The selenoureas PhC(O)NHC(Se)NPhMe, 4-MeC6H4C(O)NHC(Se)NPhMe and 4-MeC6H4C(O)NHC(Se)NEt2 were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction. 4-MeC6H4C(O)NHC(Se)NEt2 was reacted with some Pt(II), Pd(II) and Ru(II) precursors to give heteroleptic, cationic metal complexes which were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and, i...
