The authors’ goals in this article are to (a) describe a new task for the assessment of shifting attention between different affective stimuli, The Children’s Attentional Shifting Task (CAST); (b) present the theoretical background for the development of the CAST; and (c) report initial information on the developmental appropriateness and validity of the CAST. The task was tested using a sample...

The authors explored whether manipulating the location of distraction in the participants’ visual field influences the degree of competition between visual and other cognitive processes. If a cognitive task is lateralized to a particular hemisphere, visual distraction directed toward that same hemisphere should impair performance on that task more than should visual distraction directed toward ...

We report near-infrared radial velocity measurements of the recently identified donor star in the high mass X-ray binary system OAO 1657–415 obtained in the H band using ISAAC on the VLT. Cross-correlation methods were employed to construct a radial velocity curve with a semi-amplitude of 22.1± 3.5 km s. Combined with other measured parameters of this system this provides a dynamically determin...

The efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA ≤400 U was demonstrated in subjects with post-stroke upper-limb spasticity a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 study an open-label extension (OLEX; EudraCT number 2005-003951-11, NCT00432666). We report post-hoc analysis the duration treatment effect. Subjects completing placebo-controlled main period (single injection cycle 12-20-week observation) ...

Peptide deformylase inhibitor LBM-415 and seven other drugs were tested against Mycoplasma pneumoniae (100 isolates), Mycoplasma hominis (20 isolates), Mycoplasma fermentans (10 isolates), and Ureaplasma species (50 isolates). LBM-415 was active against M. pneumoniae (MICs, <or=0.008 microg/ml). It showed no activity against M. hominis and M. fermentans and modest activity against Ureaplasma spp.

We discuss a phase correction method using total power from submillimeter/millimeter SIS receivers. The discussion is based on FTS measurements and model calculations of submillimeter/millimeter atmospheric emission under various weather conditions. Liquid water in the atmosphere (cloud or fog) limits the phase correction accuracy using the total power measurements. Comparison between millimete...
