background: infertility is a factor which has been linked to higher prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in women; however, ambiguous results have been reported about the impact of infertility on women’s sexual satisfaction. the purpose of this study was to compare sexual and dyadic functioning in infertile and fertile women. furthermore, the associations between sexual variables and clinical vari...

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes the evaluation and characterisation of reactivity metrics to support the United States Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to update its reactivity policy for the attainment of ozone air quality standards. The review is based on three detailed computer modelling studies which taken together have made a significant contribution to basic understandi...

The current study examined emotional reactivity in nonsuicidal self-injurers and noninjuring controls using self-report (the Emotional Reactivity Scale: ERS) and psychophysiological measures (the startle reflex was measured during and after the presentation of IAPS images). Self-injurers reported greater emotional reactivity on the ERS, but did not exhibit differences in startle modulation duri...

Methods for ranking photochemical ozone formation reactivities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are discussed. Photochemical mechanisms for the atmospheric reactions of 118 VOCs were used to calculate their effects on ozone formation under various NOx conditions in model scenarios representing 39 different urban areas. Their effects on ozone were used to derive 18 different ozone reactivity...

a b s t r a c tintroduction: craving to methamphetamine is a significant health concern and exposure to methamphetamine cues in laboratory can induce craving. in this study, a task designing procedure for evaluating methamphetamine cue-induced craving in laboratory conditions is examined. methods: first a series of visual cues which could induce craving was identified by 5 discussion sessions b...

The South Pars zone in Iran encompasses the largest gas refineries and petrochemical complexes in the world. In the South Pars zone, elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from industrial facilities lead to substantial ozone production downwind. To understand the role of these emissions on the ozone formation and, to formulate appropriate control st...

frequent interaction among family members, may lead to conflict or problems. therefore, designing intervention programs for promote interpersonal skills among family members seemed to be necessary. one of these programs is problem solving strategies teaching.  this study aime to investigate the effects of teaching problem solving on parenting style and family problem solving. the sample is cons...

An in vitro screening model was developed to determine the reactivity of acyl glucuronide metabolites from carboxylic drugs. This assay is composed of two phases. The first is a phase of biosynthesis of acyl glucuronides by human liver microsomes (HLM). The second, during which acyl glucuronides are incubated with human serum albumin (HSA), consists of assessing the reactivity of acyl glucuroni...
