Previous emotion-regulation research has shown that the late positive potential (LPP) is sensitive to the down-regulation of emotion; however, whether LPP is also sensitive to the up-regulation of emotion remains unclear. The present study examined the description-based reappraisal effects on the up-regulation of positive emotions induced by erotic and neutral images in a Chinese population. Se...

In the present study, we examined clinical and laser-evoked potentials (LEP) features in a group of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) patients, in order to perform a topographic analysis of Laser evoked potentials (LEPs) and a correlation with clinical features. Eighteen patients suffering from CTTH [Headache Classification Subcommittee of the International Headache Society. The Internationa...

By Erica Phipps, NPPC Research Assistant. This document introduces the concepts and principles of pollution prevention (P2) and gives a brief overview of P2 activities of government, industry, and the general public. University faculty and other educators should find this document useful in preparing lectures on P2, or in incorporating P2 concepts into their specific disciplines. In addition, t...

with constants C ;p1;p2 depending only on ; p1; p2 and p := p1p2 p1+p2 hold. The rst result of this type is proved in [4], and the purpose of the current paper is to extend the range of exponents p1 and p2 for which (2) is known. In particular the case p1 = 2, p2 =1 is solved to the a rmative. This was originally considered to be the most natural case and is known as Calderon's conjecture [3]. ...

Around 398 nm, the jet-cooled-spectrum of NO2 exhibits a well identified dissociation threshold (D0). Combining the continuous-wave absorption-based cavity ringdown spectroscopy technique and laser induced fluorescence detection, an energy range of ∼25 cm(-1) is analyzed at high resolution around D0. In addition to the usual molecular transitions to long-lived energy levels, ∼115 wider resonanc...

The cranial vault is composed of four fundamental components: arterial blood, venous blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and brain parenchyma. Intracranial pressure (ICP) represents the pressure within the brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The environment within the cranial vault is unique compared to other organ systems; it is enclosed within a rigid skull and thus small volumetric...

In this paper x, a are real numbers. Next we state a number of propositions: (1) If a ­ 0 and (x − a) · (x + a) ­ 0, then −a ­ x or x ­ a. (2) If a ¬ 0 and x < a, then x > a. (3) For every point p of E2 T such that |p| ¬ 1 holds −1 ¬ p1 and p1 ¬ 1 and −1 ¬ p2 and p2 ¬ 1. (4) For every point p of E2 T such that |p| ¬ 1 and p1 6= 0 and p2 6= 0 holds −1 < p1 and p1 < 1 and −1 < p2 and p2 < 1. (5) ...

As opposed to the vast majority of prokaryotic repressors, the immunity repressor of temperate Escherichia coli phage P2 (C) recognizes non-palindromic direct repeats of DNA rather than inverted repeats. We have determined the crystal structure of P2 C at 1.8 Å. This constitutes the first structure solved from the family of C proteins from P2-like bacteriophages. The structure reveals that the ...

BACKGROUND Catheter hub decontamination requires a thorough scrub and compliance varies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a disinfection cap with 70% alcohol in preventing contamination/infection. METHODS A 3-phased, multifacility, quasi-experimental study of adult patients with central lines divided into P1 (baseline), when the standard scrub was used; P2, when the cap was used on a...
