There are clear commonalities between the Snoezelen method and therapeutic storytelling (fairy tale therapy). When conducting fairy therapy in a room, we deal with synergetic effect of sensory stimuli (characteristic Snoezelen) imaginary Both symbolic space constitute „different“ world. Each type art therapy, including bibliotherapy it contains, affect senses, thus supporting memory. The articl...

Hydrogen Evolution Reaction In article number 2110612, Chiara Gattinoni, Xiang-Zhong Chen, Salvador Pané, and co-workers demonstrate that the hydrogen evolution reaction can be triggered via magnetoelectric effect when an alternating magnetic field is applied to aqueous dispersion of composite multiferroic core–shell nanoparticles. These findings could provide cooperative pathways for maximizin...

3D hierarchical Bi2S3 architectures have been successfully synthesized via a simple and effective hydrothermal process. The as-prepared Bi2S3 samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorptiondesorption isotherms, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). The observation of field emission sc...

The inhibitive effect of compound (1-acetyl-4, 5-dihydro-5-Bromophenyl-3-(thiophen-2yl) pyrazoles) on mild steel in 1M H2SO4 and 1M HCl was investigated by weight loss, Potentiodynamic polarization and electro chemical impidence studies. The synthesized compound of 1-acetyl-4, 5-dihydro-5-Bromophenyl-3-(thiophen-2yl) pyrazoles was characterized by FTIR, H NMR, C NMR and mass. The purity of the ...

The effect of the type of oil, types of alcohol and the alcohol concentration on the settling behaviour of glycerol during biodiesel production is discussed in the current paper. Biodiesel production was performed by transesterification using 0.58 % sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a basic catalyst at 60°C and 20 min of reaction time. The yield of biodiesel produced in each experiment was separated f...

The paper investigates dynamic linkages between entry and exit rates in Brazilian manufacturing in the context of 231 (four-digit) industries during the 1996– 2005 period. The empirical analysis focuses on the estimation of a dynamic panel data model for entry and exit rates, and controls for the business cycle and structural characteristics, such as industrial concentration and suboptimal scal...

We demonstrate and discuss a liquid pumping effect based on the interaction between periodically generated cavitation microbubbles and a millimeter diameter tube. The bubbles are generated by the heat of laser adsorption at the tip of an optical fiber immersed in liquid. When the bubbles are generated well away from the tube, a steady streaming flow with a relatively large and energetic ring vo...

OBJECTIVE Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an important regulator of tissue growth. Previous studies have shown that low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulates bone growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible synergetic effect of LIPUS and local injection of nonviral bFGF plasmid DNA (pDNA) on mandibular growth in rats. DESIGN Groups were control, blank pD...

OBJECTIVE To introduce a new sequential chlorination disinfection process in which short-term free chlorine and chloramine are sequentially added. METHODS Pilot tests of this sequential chlorination were carried out in a drinking water plant. RESULTS The sequential chlorination disinfection process had the same or better efficiency on microbe (including virus) inactivation compared with the...
