This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of case management for persons with substance use disorders; 2) to determine whether and which aspects of this intervention influence its effectiveness.

The present study analyzes the results of 2001 survey of 81 CFOs of bt-500 companies and her most valuable PSUs in India to find out the determinants of the dividend policy decisions of the corporate India. It uses factor analytic framework on the CFOs' responses to capture the determinants of the dividend policy of corporate India. Most of the firms have target dividend payout ratio and divide...

Many processes mediated by protein-carbohydrate interactions involve multivalent low-affinity binding, which is inherently difficult to study. New structural templates for the generation of multivalent carbohydrate displays have recently been developed, and tailored multivalent saccharide derivatives can now be used to study and modulate a wide variety of biological recognition events.

This work demonstrates a method for inducing site-specific nucleation and subsequent growth of large oriented organic semiconductor single crystals using micropatterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). We demonstrate growth of oriented, patterned, and large organic semiconductor single crystals for potential use in organic electronic devices. The control over multiple parameters in a single sy...

Tobacco advertising bans have become commonplace in developed nations but are less prevalent in developing countries. The importance of advertising bans as part of comprehensive tobacco control strategies has been emphasised by the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control which calls for comprehensive bans on tobacco advertising. The empirical literature suggests that comprehensive advertising b...

A new restriction effect of hard templates for the shrinkage of mesoporous polymer results in anomalous increase of the mesopore size during carbonization.

Raising the minimum age of legal access to tobacco products may reduce smoking initiation and save lives. In a national telephone survey (2014-2015), US adolescents aged 13 to 17 years (N = 1,125; response rate, 66%) were asked about raising the age of legal access to tobacco products and randomized to hear one of 3 ages (19, 20, or 21 y). Most adolescents, across all US regions, favored raisin...

The discovery of gigantic molecular nanostructures like coordination and polyoxometalate clusters is extremely time-consuming since a vast combinatorial space needs to be searched, and even a systematic and exhaustive exploration of the available synthetic parameters relies on a great deal of serendipity. Here we present a synthetic methodology that combines a flow reaction array and algorithmi...
