With the Profile of Mood States (POMS), a German version of an international instrument for the assessment of mood is available. The paper introduces a new short version containing 24 items and four scales. In a study about indoor climate in 4596 office workers only a few missing values were noted. Psychometric analyses showed very good characteristics of the four scales regarding their interna...

Nano-hybrid materials of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polyoxometalates (POMs) with three counter cations were prepared and used as cathode-active materials of molecular cluster batteries (MCBs). The charging/discharging performances and thus battery capacity of the MCBs with hybrid materials were significantly better than those of the microcrystal-POM MCBs.

Mass Customization may be deployed in many different fashions depends on the nature of product characteristics, market segments, and their respective business environments. General trend shifts from personalize crafted, mass produced, to mass customized products throughout recent decades have evolved to unequal influences on today’s customizable product configurations. Life cycle durations and ...

Design: Each evening, for seven days in a row, volunteers recorded their mood using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. On days three, four, and five of the test, each participant drank 600 mL of oolong tea in the morning and again in the afternoon. One randomly assigned group blindly received tea that had been intentionally treated by three Buddhist monks; the other group blindly ...

Herein, we report for the first time polyoxometalate (POM)-based single-molecule magnets with mononuclear transition metal cores. The mononuclear Fe(III)-, Co(II)-, and Mn(III)-containing POMs have successfully been synthesized from a trivacant lacunary Keggin-type silicotungstate precursor TBA4H6[A-α-SiW9O34]·2H2O (TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium), and the highly distorted octahedral geometries of...

For future interplanetary manned spaceflight, mental issues, as well as physiological problems, must inevitably be considered and solved. Mars500 is a high-fidelity ground simulation experiment that involved 520 days of confined isolation for six multinational crewmembers. This experiment provided a good opportunity to perform psycho-physiological and psycho-social researches on such missions. ...

Recently, perfectionism has become a focus of attention in applied psychology. In athletic populations, both adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism have been found to exist (Terry-Short et al., 1995) but little research has been done on the relationships between perfectionistic tendencies and mood states in athletes. By furthering our understanding of potential relationships between perfectioni...
