Coordination between conversation partners occurs at multiple levels, including choice of syntactic structure. A number of outstanding questions concerning the origin of this coordination require novel analytic techniques. Here we introduce and adapt a widely applied dynamical analysis, recurrence analysis. We use this method to explore lexical and syntactic coordination between children and ca...

AIM To identify predictors of relational coordination among professionals delivering care to older patients. BACKGROUND Relational coordination is known to enhance quality of care in hospitals. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain poorly understood. DESIGN This cross-sectional study was part of a larger evaluation study examining the opportunity to prevent loss of function in older pa...

Identifying the structure of most active site is essential to improve performance supported metal catalysts. For structure-sensitive reactions, in silico design cannot be easily achieved combining scaling relations and Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi relations, which are only built on energy-based descriptors. We used here generalized coordination number as a structural descriptor established that low-c...

Metal ions are constituents of many metalloproteins, in which they have either catalytic (metalloenzymes) or structural functions. In this work, the characteristics of various metals were studied (Cu, Zn, Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cd and Ca in proteins with known crystal structure) as well as the specificity of their environments. The analysis was performed on two data sets: the set of protein struct...

Bond-length distributions have been examined for 55 configurations of alkali-metal ions and 29 configurations of alkaline-earth-metal ions bonded to oxygen, for 4859 coordination polyhedra and 38 594 bond distances (alkali metals), and for 3038 coordination polyhedra and 24 487 bond distances (alkaline-earth metals). Bond lengths generally show a positively skewed Gaussian distribution that ori...

The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of a procedural learning deficit among children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We tested 34 children aged 6 to 12 years with and without DCD using the serial reaction time task, in which the standard keyboard was replaced by a touch screen in order to minimize the impact of perceptuomotor coordination difficulties ...
