Cryptococcus neoformans was first cultivated by Sanfelice from fermenting peach juice in 1894. At the same time, Busse and Buschke reported, separately, the first case of human disease caused by this yeast. During the next years, the fungus was isolated only from lesions or secretions of men or animals. In 1951, Emmons reported the isolation of C. neoformans from soils of Virginia and, in 1955,...

Satisfaction with life domains is more highly correlated with interpersonal than with intrapersonal comparisons (Emmons and Diener, 1985). The hypothesis of the present studies is that the high correlations reflect inferences of social comparison from global satisfaction. Paradoxically, such inferences are most likely in private domains (love life, friends), where social information is scarce a...

Current methodologies for the direct reductive coupling of two aldehydes to alkenes afford almost exclusively thermodynamically favoured E-isomer. Recent efforts find phosphorus-based reagents as replacements low-valent Ti species in McMurry couplings present opportunities change this shortcoming, and design new that allow formation high proportions Z-alkenes under kinetic control. Here, we rep...

Abstract— We have developed an alternative method for the synthesis of analog natural retinal, which contains p -fluorophenyl fragment instead trimethylcyclohexene ring. The proposed scheme target all-E -isomer retinoid consists using C 5 -phosphonate that terminal nitrile group under Horner–Emmons reaction conditions. It has been shown this is more efficient and provides a higher total yield p...

The main aim of this research is to analyze the role loneliness found in previous studies as well examine gratitude one factors contributing subjective well-being. sample a convenience and consists 219 respondents (78.99% women). instruments used were: Social Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA; di Tomasso & Spinner, 1993), Life satisfaction scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, Gri...

Relevance. The scientific discourse emphasizes the crucial role of psychological well-being individual as a resource for development, coping with difficult life situations (NT Deichert, N. Krause, FA Huppert, L.A. Golovey, L.V. Miller, E.B. Laktionova, etc.). However, no attempts have been made so far to create typology student youth, and targets individual-oriented assistance not defined depen...
