PURPOSE Most undergraduate students are in the phase of gaining mental and physical autonomy from their parents as they expand their worlds. The ways that sexual ethics are established during this time may have an important influence on healthy lifestyles and the maintenance of social order. This study aims to determine a typology of undergraduate students' sexual ethics and the characteristics...

C filtering algorithms learn from the ratings of a group of users on a set of items to find personalized recommendations for each user. Traditionally they have been designed to work with one-dimensional ratings. With interest growing in recommendations based on multiple aspects of items, we present an algorithm for using multicomponent rating data. The presented mixture model-based algorithm us...

BACKGROUND Delirium is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that is common among elderly inpatients. It has been associated with increased mortality, longer hospital stays, cognitive and functional decline and increased institutionalisation rates. Multicomponent interventions, a series of non-pharmacological strategies frequently handled by nursing staff, might be useful for prevention. OBJECT...

The concept of multicomponent reactions (MCR) [1] has been around in organic chemistry since the very early days. Indeed, the first example known in literature, the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitriles [2], has been developed into an industrial process for the production of methionine in an annual scale of several hundreds of thousand tons per year. In addition, a lot of syntheses of heterocyc...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Elderly individuals with dementia are vulnerable for a decline in physical functioning and basic activities of daily living (BADL) which can lead to a decline in autonomy and participation. This study reviews the effect of physical activity on physical functioning and BADL in elderly subjects with dementia. METHODS A systematic search of the literature was performed. Key words...

Purpose The purpose of this in vivo study is to evaluate the acute clinical application of a multicomponent powder (Vitachelox®), including three naturally occurring standardized extracts rich in polyphenols (grape seed extract, green tea extract, oak wood/bark extract), on healthy volunteers by measuring prevention of any metal deposition within the stratum corneum (SC) following a 6-h exposur...

regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized pyranopyrazoles was achieved in excellent yield from phenyl pyrazolone, substituted aromatic aldehyde with nitroketene-n,s-acetal in the presence of indium trichloride as a versatile catalyst under reflux condition in ethanol-water mixture. all reactions preceeded within a short period of time with excellent purity. all of the synthesized compou...

a series of 2-amino pyridine-3-carbinitrile derivatives incorporated coumarin moiety has developed via multicomponent condensation of 3-acetyl-2h-chromen-2-one, arylaldehydes, malononitrile and ammonium acetate utilizing brønsted acidic ionic liquid, (4-sulfobutyl)tris(4-sulfophenyl)phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. good yields, short reaction times, straig...
