The previously-published physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for atrazine (ATZ), deisopropylatrazine (DIA), deethylatrazine (DEA), and diaminochlorotriazine (DACT), which collectively comprise the total chlorotriazines (TCT) as represented in this study, was modified to allow for scaling to humans. Changes included replacing the fixed dose-dependent oral uptake rates with a method that ...

Rheumatology topics included therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and Behçet's syndrome. At the TCT meeting, researchers examined the effects of pharmacological strategies for myocardial infarction, along with platelet function testing as a guide to antiplatelet therapy.

Individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis have cognitive deficits that are associated with functional impairment and psychosis conversion (Giuliano et al., 2012). Targeted cognitive training (TCT) (i.e., intense, progressively difficult practice of a cognitive skill) improves cognition and daily functioning in schizophrenia (Wykes et al., 2011). TCT has been proposed as a preventive...

Various patient characteristics were assessed before offering a treatment to reduce tinnitus related distress to 57 individuals suffering from chronic idiopathic tinnitus. Patients were randomly assigned to a cognitive-behavioral tinnitus coping training (TCT) and a habituation-based training (HT) modelled after Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) as conceived by Jastreboff. Both trainings were c...

For over a decade, researchers have devoted much effort to construct theoretical models, such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) for explaining and predicting user behavior in IS acceptance and continuance. Another model, the Cognitive Model (COG), was proposed for continuance behavior; it combines some of the variables used in both TAM and ECM...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Threadgold Communication Tool (TCT). METHOD Internal consistency reliability was measured using Cronbach's α coefficient and inter-item correlation. Test-retest was performed to examine the instrument's stability. Exploratory principal component analysis (PCA) with oblimin rotation was carried out to ...

BACKGROUND Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) modulates central neuropathic pain in some patients after stroke, but the mechanisms of action are uncertain. OBJECTIVE . The authors used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional MRI (fMRI) to evaluate the integrity of the thalamocortical tract (TCT) and the activation pattern of the pain network in 22 patients with poststro...

O artigo está fundamentado na literatura da Teoria dos Custos de Transação (TCT) para propor e validar uma escala bidimensional composta por indicadores que permitiram captar a intensidade custos transação ex ante post percebidos pelos gestores nas transações do Varejo Farmacêutico. Os refletiram os análise, elaboração adaptação contratual, além coordenação, manutenção, monitoramento guarda con...

Bicyclic isoxazolines and isoxazoles are obtained in good yields by proceeding through a convenient one-pot, two-step procedure utilizing 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT) as a dehydrating agent.

The article attempts to combine Alfred Eichner’s institutionalist theory of the megacorp and a corresponding definition small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with transaction cost (TCT) based on firms’ asset specificity. We have identified three types SMEs: subcontracting SMEs as “spokes” within hub-megacorp network, independent local competitors megacorps, partners in cluster networks. outline...
