The present study examined the effects of age, gender, and causality on the perceptions of persons with mental retardation. Participants rated individuals with mental retardation using a semantic differential scale with three factors: activity, evaluation, and potency. Target individuals in each scenario varied on the variables of age (8, 20, 45), gender (male, female), and causality of mental ...

A reduction in the viability of cowpea rhizobia was observed when Rhizobium trifolii IARI and cowpea Rhizobium strain 3824 were inoculated together in soil. The reduction in number of cowpea rhizobia in soil was found to be associated with the reduction in number of nodules per plant and retardation in plant growth. An antimicrobial substance was isolated from R. trifolii which, on electron mic...

Over the last two decades, hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) Tanimura and Kubo have become equation motion-based tool for numerically exact calculations system-bath problems. The HEOM is today generalized to many cases dissipation transfer processes through an external bath. In spatially extended photonic systems, propagation photons bath leads retardation/delays in coupling quantum emitt...

We theoretically analyze dominant plasma modes in a two-dimensional disk of electron gas by calculating the absorption an incident electromagnetic wave. The problem is solved self-consistent approximation, taking into account retardation effects. use Drude model to describe conductivity system. spectrum exhibits series peaks corresponding excitation waves. position and linewidth designating, re...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the state of growth during follow-up of healthy children and the factors affecting growth. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patient cards of the infants who were born in 2002 and followed up in the well-baby outpatient clinic in Gazi University, Medical Faculty regularly for at least 18 months were examined retrospectively. Their sociodemographic properties ...

We propose a demodulation algorithm based on the calculus of complex Fourier coefficients; we used dual rotating polarizer-analyzer polarimeter to show feasibility our proposal. Our considers frequency response obtained by system, and its possible calculate total retardation, fast axis orientation ellipticity sample. proposal does not require recovering full Mueller matrix from getting those pa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the activity patterns of inpatients with unipolar depression, who had been divided into groups with and without motor retardation prior to actigraphy monitoring. METHOD Twenty-four-hour actigraphy recordings from 52 consecutively, acutely admitted inpatients with unipolar depression (ICD-10) were compared to recordings from 28 healthy controls. The patients, admitted betw...

We developed a new theory-based azimuthal phase retardation microscope to visualize distributions of actin filaments in biological cells without having them with exogenous dyes, fluorescence labels, or stains. The azimuthal phase retardation microscope visualizes distributions of actin filaments by measuring the intensity variations of each pixel of a charge coupled device camera while rotating...
