isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. there are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. it is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. in this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...

BACKGROUND Memory functioning has been highlighted as a central issue in pathological dissociation. In non-pathological dissociation, evidence for enhanced working memory has been found, together with greater task-load related activity. So far, no imaging studies have investigated working memory in dissociative patients. METHOD To assess working memory in dissociative patients functional magn...

In this article, the authors present evidence regarding a dissociative subtype of PTSD, with clinical and neurobiological features that can be distinguished from nondissociative PTSD. The dissociative subtype is characterized by overmodulation of affect, while the more common undermodulated type involves the predominance of reexperiencing and hyperarousal symptoms. This article focuses on the n...

Intermediate states formed during the dissociative recombination of molecular ions with electrons can play significant roles in determining the magnitude of the total rate coefficient. These resonances are Rydberg states of two types, that is, they can have the ground or excited states of the ion as a core. Those with the excited cores have a fundamentally different excitation mechanism than th...

Chronic illnesses often involve repeated hospitalization and invasive treatment procedures that can have a traumatic impact on child development. To explore possible consequences of treatment procedures, three groups of patients with congenital anomalies were examined longitudinally. At first admission, adolescents (ages 10-20, mean 15) with anorectal anomalies (n = 14), adolescents with Hirsch...

Affect dysregulation and dissociation may be associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and somatoform disorder (SoD). In this study, both under-regulation and over-regulation of affect and positive and negative somatoform and psychoform dissociative experiences were assessed. BPD and SoD diagnoses were confirmed or ruled out in 472 psychiatric inpatients using clinical interviews an...

Although dissociative phenomena are often transient features of mental states, existing measures of dissociation are designed to measure enduring traits. A new present-state self-report measure, sensitive to changes in dissociative states, was therefore developed and psychometrically validated. Fifty-six items were formulated to measure state features, and sorted according to seven subscales: d...

Dissociative disorders manifest as disruptions of the normal integration between memories of the past, awareness of identity and immediate sensations and control of bodily movements. Compared to developed western countries, it is more prevalent indeveloping countries. This study is undertaken to find the occurrence of dissociative disorder and significance of clinical presentations.The main obj...
