Measurement of impulsivity in a hierarchical model of personality traits: Implications for substance use
(Substance Use & Misuse; Marcel Dekker, 2003)This review describes how measures of a prominent three-dimensional hierarchical model of personality traits relate to substance use. H. J. Eysenck proposed a biologically based model of personality that gave rise to related ... -
Measuring modularity-based manufacturing practices and their impact on mass customization capability: A Customer-driven perspective
(Blackwell Publishing, 2004)As uncertainty in markets and technology intensifies, more companies are adopting modular product and process architectures to cope with increasing demands for individually customized products. Modularity-based manufacturing ... -
Mechanism for period-doubling bifurcation in a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection
(American Physical Society, 1996-06)The single-mode rate equations for a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection are investigated analytically. We determine the first branch of periodic solutions for low values of the injection field. For larger ... -
A mechanism for the oxidation of glutathione to glutathione disulfide with organotellurium(IV) and organoselenium(IV) compounds. A stepwise process with implications for photodynamic therapy and other oxidative chemotherapy
(The American Chemical Society: The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1994-12-30)The reactions of telluroxides or their hydrates 3-5 with glutathione to give telluropyrylium dyes 1, 2 or diphenyl telluride, respectively, and glutathione disulfide have at least two discrete steps. A fast reaction, which ... -
A Mechanistic model for flow boiling heat transfer
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990-11)A mechanistic model is presented for heat transfer in the wet wall region of saturated flow boiling inside circular tubes. Saturated flow boiling is postulated to be essentially -similar to partial subcooled boiling with ... -
Melanin deposits associated with the venom glands of snakes
(Wiley: Journal of Morphology, 1978-01)Melanin deposits in the heads of both true vipers (Viperinae) and pit vipers (Crotalinae) are concentrated over the dorsal and dorsolateral aspects of the venom glands. This pigment may occur in any or all of six sites ... -
A meta-analytic review of work-family conflict and its antecedents
(Elsevier Inc., 2005)This meta-analytic review combines the results of more than 60 studies to help determine the relative effects of work, nonwork, and demographic and individual factors on work interference with family (WIF) and family ... -
Metabolic correlates of anuran behavior
(Oxford University Press: American Zoologist, 1985)Frogs exhibit extensive diversity in their repertoires of social, reproductive, defensive, and predatory behavior, and in the metabolic processes that support these activities. Three aspects of anuran biology (foraging ... -
Metabolic correlates of the foraging and social behaviour of dart-poison frogs
(Elsevier: Animal Behaviour, 1990-01)The foraging and social behaviour of four species of Panamanian dart-poison frogs, Dendrobatidae, were recorded and that information was combined with an analysis of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and with published ... -
Metabolism and activity of the spanish fringe-toed lizard (Lacertidae: acanthodactylus erythrurus)
(Elsevier: Journal of Thermal Biology, 1978-10)1.In the field, adult fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus erythrusus) had a mean body temperature of 38.8 ± 0.2 (S.E.) °C while subadults maintained a significantly lowr temperature (x average = 35.4 +/- 0.5 degrees ... -
Metallo 2,3-Disulfidothienoquinoxaline, 2,3-Disulfidothienopyridine, and 2-Sulfido-3-oxidothienoquinoxaline complexes: synthesis and characterization
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 1997-05-21)The 2,3-disulfidothienoquinoxaline complexes of Cp2Mo and dppePd and the 2,3-disulfidothienopyridine complexes of Cp2Mo were obtained as products from the S8 oxidation of the corresponding metallo-1,2-enedithiolate complexes. ... -
Methods for characterizing CRT displays
(Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, 1996-05)Computer-controlled CRT displays can be described by a two-stage model. The first stage consists of a linear transformation matrix relating radiometric scalars of each channel with either spectral radiance or tristimulus ... -

The microarray revolution
(Elsevier: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2004-07)In recent years, microarray analysis has become a key experimental tool, enabling the analysis of genome-wide patterns of gene expression. This review approaches the microarray revolution with a focus upon four topics: 1) ... -
Microchannels and minichannels - History, terminology, classification and current research needs
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)Microchannels and Minichannels are found in many biological systems providing very high heat and mass transfer rates in organs such as the brain, lung, liver and kidney. Many high flux cooling applications are effectively ... -
