9‐Hydroxyphenalenone is a planar multicyclic β‐keto‐enol that demonstrates C2V symmetry on the NMR timescale. Off‐axis substitution breaks the molecular symmetry and results in tautomers. 1H and 13C NMR assignments were made for 9‐hydroxyphenalenone and three methyl derivatives, and the solution‐phase tautomers were de... |

skilled robot workers triggers characteristic negative outgroup evaluations |
and judgments of robots |
This paper applies the ideas of realistic group conflict to robots in the workplace. We hypothesized that when people learn about the rise of skilled robot workers, they experience it as a realistic intergroup threat, which leads to unfavorable evaluations and judgments about robots. 220 participants recruited online w... |
OBJECTIVE |
In adults, blood pressure (BP) during exercise has prognostic advantages compared to resting BP, whereas its relevance for children has not been revealed as clearly. Because exercise BP among young subjects might be of clinical importance, we sought to determine reference values in adolescents. |
METHODS |
BP recordings at rest and during a cycle ergometer test (1.5W/kg) were assessed in 492 teenagers (12-17 years) in the Kiel EX.PRESS. Study (EXercise and PRESSure). The resting systolic BP (SBP) values at the 90th and 95th percentile of the German reference population were applied on our resting SBP distribution. The re... |
RESULTS |
Of our group, 12.4% exhibited a resting SBP ≥ 90th reference percentile, with 7.9% ≥ 95th percentile. The corresponding age group- and sex-specific percentiles were assigned to the exercise SBP distribution resulting in reference values for high normal and elevated SBP (upper limit, girls/boys, mm Hg): 172/172 for 12-1... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Exercise BP is expected to be of additional use for the evaluation of BP in younger age groups. As long as prognostic data for exercise BP in adolescents are not available, the limits proposed might be considered in clinical practice.High-range laser light bandwidth measurement and tuning |
High performance lithography is increasingly demanding light sources to deliver laser light over a much larger range of stabilized bandwidths. The applications range from improved optical proximity correction (OPC) to the high-speed printing of vias and contact holes, through a process called focus drilling. Several ad... |
Summary The expression of tenascin, a recently discovered extracellular matrix protein, was studied by immunohistochemical techniques in scleroderma skin and compared with its distribution in normal skin. In progressive systemic sclerosis, a marked increase in tenascin content was observed in the superficial reticular ... |
ABSTRACT The literature on ‘mountain mysticism’ includes a wide array of interpretations: Reductively, mystical states experienced on mountains may be viewed as neurological or psychological epiphenomena. Anthropomorphised as mystical agents themselves, the mountain is seen as capable of engendering non-ordinary awaren... |
The blastogenic response of lymphocytes from patients with malignant neoplasms was evaluated by stimulation with three phytomitogens (PHA, PWM, and Con A). The response of patient lymphocytes to all three mitogens was significantly lower than that of control lymphocytes, and most patients with abnormal PHA responses al... |

The Internet is one of the most important advances of the last few years. It has provoked a revolution in many areas (research, education, business, communication, etc.). But obviously the foundations of the Internet were not prepared to afford the type and amount of information now being dealt with. This is the main r... |
We investigate whether government subsidies to local input manufacturers encourage procurement from foreign firms. We use a comprehensive panel data of Irish firms from 1983 until 2002. Our data shows a spontaneity about linkages and relative insensitivity to grant aid, although it may be the quality rather than quanti... |

OBJECTIVE |
The aim of this study is to examine cost-effectiveness of fluoridation of drinking water supplies for Brisbane and South East Queensland. The benefits conveyed are expressed in reduced costs of dental treatment and years of life with dental caries as a disability. |
METHODS |
The analysis utilises a developed life table modelling initial cohort of 36,322 newborns, which when applied to the target population equals to 181,925 persons in the age group 2-100 years, 338,617 persons in the age group 7-100 years and 390,524 persons in the age group 12-100 years respectively. The analysis was cond... |
RESULTS |
If fluoridation was implemented there would be a total saving of $10,437.43 (95% CI 6,406.50- 14,035.35) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and AU$ 665,686,529 (95% CI -$973,573,625- $381,322,176). This result is both desirable and dominant as more DALYs are saved along with significant cost savings. |
CONCLUSION |
Fluoridation remains still a very cost-effective measure for reducing dental decay.Text-Based Versus Video Discussion to Promote a Sense of Community: An International Mixed-Methods Study |
