A kinetic model for sunflower oil hydrogenation on a palladium catalyst is proposed based Horiuty–Polanyi type mechanism and considering either dissociative or associative adsorption of hydrogen. The derived laws allow to explain the distinct dependency saturation isomerization reactions hydrogen pressure. Kinetic parameters are identified batch slurry hydrogenations carried out at 60–160°C 2–3...

Emotion dysregulation is a core feature of chronic complex dissociative disorders (DD), as it is for borderline personality disorder (BPD). Chronic complex DD include dissociative identity disorder (DID) and the most common form of dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS, type 1), now known as Other Specified Dissociative Disorders (OSDD, type 1). BPD is a common comorbid disorder ...

In current psychiatric literature, the received view is that dissociative symptoms originate from aversive childhood events. To a large extent, this view is based on cross-sectional studies that do not rule out a scenario in which dissociative tendencies contribute to self-reports of childhood trauma. In two studies, we tested one particular implication of this scenario, namely, that dissociati...

Dissociative recombination of N$_2$H$^+$ is explored in a two-step theoretical study. In first step, diatomic (1D) rough model with frozen NN bond and angles adopted, the framework multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT). The importance indirect mechanism bending mode revealed, spite disagreement between our cross section experimental one. second we use recently elaborated 3D approach based o...

The structures and reactivity of fluoridated Keggin-aluminum tridecamers (K-Al13) in aqueous solution were studied using density functional theory (DFT) in order to explore the fluorine substitution process and the influence of F(-) on the chemical behavior of Keggin polynuclear Al species. The structures of fluoridated K-Al13 were optimized with the consideration of both explicit and bulk solv...

The concept of Dissociation was originally conceived as having a psychological and a somatic component. Nevertheless, recent versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) have isolated both elements. In the DSM the psychological manifestation of dissociation is diagnosed as a Dissociative Disorder and the somatic domain is diagnosed as a Somatoform Disorder. How...

Current findings suggest that mother's marital status indicating father's absence or conflicting relationship to father may be specifically related to dissociation and other stress-related symptoms. We have assessed relationships of mother's marital status, dissociative symptoms, and other psychopathological manifestations in a sample of 19 years' old young adults (N = 364) participating in Eur...

This paper presents three case studies illustrating the range and scope of the clinical applications of the SCID-D, a semi-structured interview for the assessment and diagnosis of dissociative symptoms and disorders according to DSM IV criteria. The studies indicate the effectiveness of the SCID-D in differential diagnosis between medical and psychiatric conditions, in symptom documentation for...

Symptom validity tests (SVTs) are predicated on the assumption that overendorsement of atypical symptoms flags symptom exaggeration (i.e., questionable symptom validity). However, few studies have explored how practitioners from different cultural backgrounds evaluate such symptoms. We asked professionals working in Western (n = 56) and non-Western countries (n = 37) to rate the plausibility of...

BACKGROUND This case illustrates previously undiagnosed dissociative identity disorder (DID) in a middle-aged female with extensive childhood trauma, who was high functioning prior to a trigger that caused a reemergence of her symptoms. The trigger sparked a dissociative state, attempted suicide, and subsequent inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. OBJECTIVE Practitioners should include in t...
