in the crystal structure of the title polymeric compound, [c42h38n6o33sr5.2(h2o)]n, five independent metal atoms (sr1-sr5) have different coordination environments. the sr1 and sr5 atoms are nine coordinated and feature distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic and capped square-antiprismatic geometries, respectively. the rest srii atoms have eight coordination numbers. these units are connected v...

background: changes in expectations and requirements of the end users of medical education “community members” and evolution in health services necessitate some changes in the medical education curriculum. to achieve this reform in curricula, obtaining insight into the health care needs of community members and their comments about their physicians is highly required in community-oriented educa...

A coarse-grained model for molecular dynamics simulations of polymer solutions with variable solvent quality is proposed. This model allows solvent quality to be varied over the whole range from very poor to very good solvent conditions by varying a single parameter. The model has several advantages. All interactions are short ranged and repulsive, making the model very computationally efficien...

Purpose. To explore the associations and interactions among ecological factors and explain the psychosocial quality of life of children with complex needs. Methods. In this cross-sectional survey consenting parents were identified by the Children's Treatment Network. Families were eligible if the child from 0 to 19 years, resided in Simcoe/York, and there were multiple family needs. Regression ...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed adolescent maternal psychopathology and its relation to the quality of mother-infant interactions. METHOD Twenty-one mother-infant pairs recruited from an adolescent medicine clinic were assessed for socio-demographic background, psychosocial adversity, conduct disorder, alcohol or substance dependence, and depression. Dyads were videotaped during free play and t...

This study examined development of academic, language, and social skills among 4-year-olds in publicly supported prekindergarten (pre-K) programs in relation to 3 methods of measuring pre-K quality, which are as follows: (a) adherence to 9 standards of quality related to program infrastructure and design, (b) observations of the overall quality of classroom environments, and (c) observations of...

Two studies found positive relationships between the ability to manage emotions and the quality of social interactions, supporting the predictive and incremental validity of an ability measure of emotional intelligence, the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). In a sample of 118 American college students (Study 1), higher scores on the managing emotions subscale of the MSC...

The interactions between oral and systemic health are bi-directional and complex, involving many pathways. Regarding health as not merely the absence of disease, but as a state of total well-being, these interactions profoundly influence the progress of many diseases, and the quality of life and economic performance of HIV-infected individuals and populations. The evidence base for specific int...

abstract: vacuum deep-fat frying is a new technology that can be used to improve the quality attributes of fried food because of the low temperatures employed and minimal exposure to oxygen. in this paper the effect of frying process parameters, namely frying time, frying temperature and pressure on the quality factors of fried kiwi slices was studied. a laboratory scale vacuum frying apparatus...
