The present meta-analytic review examined effectiveness of the Incredible Years parent training (IYPT) regarding disruptive and prosocial child behavior, and aimed to explain variability in intervention outcomes. Fifty studies, in which an intervention group receiving the IYPT was compared to a comparison group immediately after intervention, were included in the analyses. Results showed that t...

Abstract It is well known that the classical recombination equation for two parent individuals equivalent to law of mass action a strongly reversible chemical reaction network, and can thus be reformulated as generalised gradient system. Here, this case an arbitrary number parents. Furthermore, structure backward-time partitioning process investigated.

The in vitro biotransformation of 7-alkoxycoumarin by rat liver microsomes was studied to develop a simple and accurate assay procedure for 7-alkoxycoumarin O-dealkylase. 7-Alkoxycoumarin was converted to the O-dealkylated metabolite, 7-hydroxycoumarin, by aerobic incubation of the parent compound with microsomes and NADPH, but the decreased amount of 7-alkoxycoumarin in the reaction mixture wa...

Introduction: Both α-amino acids and α-hydroxy acids occur in aqueous extracts of the Murchison carbonaceous meteorite. The Strecker-cyanohydrin reaction, the reaction of carbonyl compounds, cyanide, and ammonia to produce amino and hydroxy acids, has been proposed as a source of such organic acids in meteorites [1]. Such syntheses are consistent with the suggestion [2] that interstellar precur...

From the A-dihydrobilindione 3. the pyridinium derivatives 6a,b and analogues therwf have been obtained by a formal nucleophilic substitution. The reaction is rationalized as a photochemically assisted oxidation of 3 with a subsequent regioselective addition of pyridine at C-5. By thermolysis. 6a.b yields back the parent bilin 3, together with an oxidation product. The significance of the react...

This ex situ electrochemical study investigates how the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Bi-doped Ca2Ru2O7 pyrochlore catalysts is affected by the addition of carbonate to the aqueous KOH (1 mol dm ) electrolyte. The parent Ca2Ru2O7 catalyst has been previously reported to be selective towards the generation of CO3 2– on the reaction of O2 with CO2 (in the presence of H2O) at the cathode of l...

Alpha-amino acids and GABA are functionalized with dithiazine rings via reaction with sodium hydrosulfide in aqueous formaldehyde. The resulting dithiazines are lithiated at -78 degrees C and reacted with benzaldehyde furnishing amino acid-based 2,5-bis-substituted dithiazines. These adducts undergo externally sensitized photofragmentation with quantum efficiency comparable to that of the paren...

In order to construct the functionalized AB ring system of clifednamide, member of the class of macrocyclic tetramic acid lactams, a synthesis was developed which utilized an Ireland-Claisen rearrangement and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. Starting from di-O-isopropylidene-d-mannitol the allyl carboxylate precursor for the sigmatropic rearrangement was prepared. This rearrangement proc...
