Alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence, and related mortality in Italy in 2004: effects of treatment-based interventions on alcohol dependence

Background: The tradition of consuming alcohol has long been a part of Italian culture and is responsible for a large health burden. This burden may be reduced with effective interventions, one of the more important of which is treatment for Alcohol Depend ...

Peculiarities in the pressure dependence of photoluminescence in InAlN

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin

Studies of ambient-pressure and high-pressure behavior of photoluminescence (PL) for series of InxAl1-xN layers are presented. The measured evolution of PL energy (E-PL) with x is characterized by a clear decrease of E-PL and exhibits a strong bowing. This ...

How alcohol intake affects visual temporal processing

Michael Herzog

Alcohol affects vision. However, the influence of alcohol on visual processing is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of alcohol on visual spatiotemporal processing. We employed a visual paradigm, the shine through backward masking paradigm, ...

Polarization screening in polymer ferroelectric films: Uncommon bulk mechanism

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Evgeny Mikheev

Charge compensation at the interface is a fundamental phenomenon determining the operation conditions of thin-film devices incorporating ferroelectrics. The underlying mechanisms have been thoroughly addressed in perovskite ferroelectrics where the charge ...

Pressure dependence of the large-polaron transport in anatase TiO2 single crystals

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Richard Gaal, Helmuth Berger, Jacim Jacimovic, George Cristian Vaju, Radomir Zikic

We have measured the pressure and temperature dependences of the resistivity and the thermoelectric power of anatase, TiO2. The resistivity varies with T-3 at high temperatures, and its absolute value is in the 1 Omega cm range. Below 60 K, the resistivity ...

Developing a method to derive alcohol-attributable fractions for HIV/AIDS mortality based on alcohol's impact on adherence to antiretroviral medication

Gerrit Gmel

Background: Alcohol consumption is causally linked to nonadherence to antiretroviral treatment that in turn causes an increase in HIV/AIDS mortality. This article presents a method to calculate the percentage of HIV/AIDS deaths attributable to alcohol cons ...

Asymmetric Synthesis of 2,4,6-Trideoxy-4-(dimethylamino)-3-C-methyl-Llyxohexopyranose (Lemonose)

Jieping Zhu, Nicolas George

L-Lemonose, the glycosidic part of (–)-lemonomycin, has been synthesized in ten steps with 18% overall yield from Dthreonine. The key steps are a double, highly diastereoselective Grignard addition to a Weinreb amide and a chemoselective oxidation of a pri ...

Isothermal recovery rates in shape memory polyurethanes

John Christopher Plummer, Charly David Azra

This work compares the time dependence of isothermal shape recovery in thermoset and thermoplastic shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) with comparable glass transition temperatures. In each case, tensile tests have been used to quantify the influence of var ...

Hydrodynamics and the Fluctuation Theorem

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin

The fluctuation theorem is a pivotal result of statistical physics. It quantifies the probability of observing fluctuations which are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. More specifically, it quantifies the ratio of the probabilities of obser ...

Single crystal nuclear magnetic resonance in spinning powders

David Lyndon Emsley

We present a method for selectively exciting nuclear magnetic resonances (NMRs) from well-defined subsets of crystallites from a powdered sample under magic angle spinning. Magic angle spinning induces a time dependence in the anisotropic interactions, whi ...
