In this work the effects of various methods of agitation on the properties of electroless Ni-P-MoS2 composite coatings were investigated. Magnetic stirring as well as purging the solution with gas (Air, Oxygen, Nitrogen) were used. Plating rate, chemical composition, MoS2 distribution, and hardness of the deposit were measured. Topography of coating was studied with metallography and scanning e...

Inbreeding depression is a major force affecting the evolution and viability of small populations in captive breeding and restoration programmes. Populations that experience small sizes may be less susceptible to future inbreeding depression because they have been purged of deleterious recessive alleles. We review issues related to purging, as they apply to the management of small populations, ...

CONTEXT Recent data suggest that purging disorder, a recently characterized form of eating disorder not otherwise specified, may be worthy of specific delineation in nosological schemes. However, more data are needed to determine how purging disorder differs from bulimia nervosa. OBJECTIVE To examine clinical features and subjective as well as objective physiological responses to a standardiz...

OBJECTIVE To further refine our understanding of impulsivity, obsessions, and compulsions in anorexia nervosa (AN) by isolating which behaviours--binge eating, purging, or both--are associated with these features. METHODS We conducted regression analyses with binge eating, purging, and the interaction of binge eating with purging as individual predictors of scores for impulsivity, obsessions,...

OBJECTIVE To examine two assumptions implicit in the subtyping of eating disorders: (1) purging behaviors are interchangeable, and (2) a primary distinction exists between the presence vs. absence of any means of purging. METHOD Data from a longitudinal study of health and eating patterns were used to compare women who reported self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, or their combination. Furt...

OBJECTIVE The implications of impulsivity in its relationship with binge-eating or purging behaviors remain unclear. This study examined the patterns of eating behaviors and co-morbid impulsive behaviors in individuals with bulimia nervosa n optimally homogeneous classes using latent class analysis (LCA). METHODS All participants (n=180) were asked to complete a series of self-reported invent...

The analysis, "Graft Purging in Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation: A Promise Not Quite Fulfilled," by Drs. Joseph Alvarnas and Stephen Forman, is very timely. The authors" conclusion is succinctly presented in their title. For about a decade late in the 20th century, the merits-or in some cases, the absolute necessity-of purging autologous bone marrow harvests prior to transplantation were...
