M. HEIDKE Geologists use petrographic modal analysis to relate fluvial sand composition to source rock composition, thus establishing provenance. Archaeologists seeking to establish provenance of sand temper in pottery can use similar petrographic methods, but their finer scale of investigation requires more precise statistical tools than those employed by geologists. A quantitative method for performing that task is presented. It utilizes correspondence analysis and discriminant analysis of logratio transformed point-count data to define petrofacies, or sand temper resource procurement zones. The procedure is illustrated with sand and sand-tempered sherd samples collected from the Tonto Basin, central Arizona; temporal trends in utilitarian ceramic production c. AD 100,1350 are reviewed.

[source] Measuring anxiety: Parent-child reporting differences in clinical samplesDEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, Issue 2 2002Jose Barbosa M.A. Abstract This study examines parent-child reporting differences for childhood anxiety in normal controls (n = 16) and in children with diagnosed anxiety disorders (ANX; n = 15), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 15), and comorbid ANX and ADHD (n = 16). Correspondence between child reports of anxiety on two self-report inventories and diagnosis based on structured parent interview was assessed for all four groups. Parent-child agreement did not appear to be measurement dependent but did differ by diagnostic group, with poorer agreement for clinical groups. Though needing replication, these findings suggest that it is inadvisable to rely exclusively on self-report measures when assessing childhood anxiety, especially in clinical populations. Such measures can be useful in monitoring clinical progress, however, provided parent and child reports are examined separately. Depression and Anxiety 15:61,65, 2002. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

In all cases protonation occurs in the A-ring, ortho/para relative to methoxy or methyl substituent(s). Complete NMR assignments of the resulting carbocations are reported and their charge delocalization modes are discussed. Mild nitration (with 20,50,% aqueous HNO3 at ,10 °C or at room temp.) and bromination (NBS/MeCN/room temp.) of these substrates resulted in the synthesis of several novel mononitro-/dinitro- as well as monobromo/dibromo derivatives, including those with nitro or bromo substituent in the bay-region. Correspondence between the site of attack in low-temperature protonation study and nitro substitution in ambient mild nitrations are examined. Complete NMR assignments for the new derivatives are reported as well as X-ray structures for 2,4-dimethoxy-1-nitro- and 1,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenanthrenes. A comparative DNA binding study with MCF cells on three of the synthesized mononitro and one dinitro derivative showed that 1,3-dimethyl-9-nitro- (nitro at the meso position), 3-methoxy-4-nitro- (nitro in bay-region), and 1,3-dimethoxy-4,9-dinitrophenanthrenes (nitro in both meso and bay-regions) formed DNA adducts.

This article establishes the significance of their little known, in part unpublished, early correspondence and demonstrates the difficulty of any generalising account of ,women's history' and ,women's writing'. The exchanges between the three correspondents are shaped by a series of conflicting attitudes and pressures. On the one hand the correspondents wanted to help create a politically enlightened Germany and thus tended to project images of their addressees or themselves as ,new women'. On the other hand they were concerned to present, even to one another, a self-image that conformed to current, rather conservative, social norms and prescriptions. All three women found it difficult to sustain either image under pressure from the conflicts in their daily lives. Some of the reasons for the ultimate disappointment of their hopes for rapid change can be traced in this correspondence.

[source] Energy Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Nanowires,A Correspondence on "Energy Harvesting Using Nanowires?"ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 13 2009by Alexe et al. A response to the questions raised by Alexe et al. concerning nanowire-based nanogenerators is presented. Evidence is given about the existence and detection of a piezoelectric potential in ZnO nanowires. The role played by the piezoelectric potential is to overcome the threshold voltage at the Pt,ZnO junction, while the observed output signal of ,10,mV is the difference in Fermi levels between the two electrodes. The measurement system used by Alexe et al. is questioned, as is their model.

[source] Extended Hartree,Fock theory of chemical reactions.INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 15 2009Abstract Symmetry and broken symmetry (BS) in molecular orbital description of transition structures and intermediates in oxygenation reactions have been revisited to elucidate states correlation diagrams and mechanisms for addition reactions of molecular oxygen and metal-oxo MO (M = Mn(II) and Fe(II)) species to CC double bonds. Relative stabilities between diradical (DR) and perepoxide (PE) intermediates were thoroughly investigated by several BS hybrid DFT (HDFT) methods and BS CCSD(T) method with and without spin projection. It has been found that recovery of spin symmetry, namely eliminating spin contamination error from the BS solutions, is crucial for the elucidation of reasonable state correlation diagrams and energy differences of the key structures in the oxygenation reactions because the singlet-triplet energy gap for molecular oxygen is large (22 kcal/mol). The BS HDFT followed by spin correction reproduced activation barriers for transition structures along both PE and DR reaction pathways by the use of the CASPT2 method. Basis set dependence on the relative stability between PE and DR intermediates were also examined thoroughly. Solvation effect for DR and PE intermediates was further examined with self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) and SCIPCM methods. Both BS HDFT and CASPT2 have concluded that the DR mechanism is favorable for the addition reaction of singlet oxygen to ethylene, supporting our previous conclusions. The BS HDFT with spin correction was concluded to be useful enough for theoretical investigations of mechanisms of oxygenation reactions. Implications of the computational results were discussed in relation to the theoretical framework (four configuration model) for elucidation of possible mechanisms of epoxidation reactions with Fe(IV)O cores in metalloenzymes on the basis of isolobal analogies among O, OO, and Fe(IV)O. Correspondence between magnetic coupling mode and radical pathway in oxygenations with these species was clarified based on the BS MO interaction diagrams, leading to local singlet and triplet diradical mechanisms for epoxidations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

[source] Correspondence between supervisors and trainees in their perception of supervision eventsJOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 7 2002Sissel Reichelt The focus of this study is on how the participants in 16 supervisory dyads perceive the content and process in a supervisory session, and on the meaning they attach to supervisory events. A central issue is to what degree the participants in each dyad correspond in their perceptions and evaluation of supervisory events. Another question is how lack of correspondence affects the trainees' experience of satisfaction with the supervision. A majority of the dyads were rated low or moderate in correspondence, and it is discussed whether the influence of low correspondence on trainee satisfaction may be related to supervisory intentions and style characteristics. A main point in the discussion is whether role ambiguity may be related to obscure communication and reduced correspondence, and it is suggested that more attention should be paid to negotiating and renegotiating rules for the supervisory relationship. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

[source] Recurrent Personality Dimensions in Inclusive Lexical Studies: Indications for a Big Six StructureJOURNAL OF PERSONALITY, Issue 5 2009Gerard Saucier ABSTRACT Previous evidence for both the Big Five and the alternative six-factor model has been drawn from lexical studies with relatively narrow selections of attributes. This study examined factors from previous lexical studies using a wider selection of attributes in 7 languages (Chinese, English, Filipino, Greek, Hebrew, Spanish, and Turkish) and found 6 recurrent factors, each with common conceptual content across most of the studies. The previous narrow-selection-based six-factor model outperformed the Big Five in capturing the content of the 6 recurrent wideband factors. Adjective markers of the 6 recurrent wideband factors showed substantial incremental prediction of important criterion variables over and above the Big Five. Correspondence between wideband 6 and narrowband 6 factors indicate they are variants of a "Big Six" model that is more general across variable-selection procedures and may be more general across languages and populations. [source] Ease and effectiveness of costly autotomy vary with predation intensity among lizard populationsJOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, Issue 3 2004William E. Cooper Jr Abstract Costly anti-predatory defences are used in ecological time and maintained in evolutionary time by natural selection favouring individuals that survive through their use. Autotomy of expendable body parts is a striking example of a defence having multiple substantial costs, including loss of ability to use the same defence, loss of energy, and decreased growth, reproductive success and survival following autotomy, plus the energetic cost of replacing the lost body part in species capable of regenerating them. Our study shows that autotomy in the lacertid lizard Podarcis lilfordi reduces sprint speed, indicating decreased capacity to escape as well as the loss of energy. Autotomy carries substantial cost, and thus should be avoided except as a last resort. Ease of autotomy and post-autotomic movements were studied in three populations of lacertid lizards. Two were islet populations of P. lilfordi from Aire (lowest predation pressure) and Colom (intermediate predation pressure) off Minorca. The third was a mainland population of Podarcis hispanica, a closely related species from the mainland of the Iberian Peninsula where predation pressure is higher than on the islets. As predicted, a suite of autotomic traits increases the effectiveness of autotomy as a defence as predation pressure increases. With increasing predation pressure, the frequency of voluntary autotomy increases, latency to autotomy decreases, pressure on the tail needed to induce autotomy decreases, vigour of post-autotomic tail movements increases, and distance moved by the shed tail increases. Additional changes that might be related to predation pressure, but could have other causes, are the presence of tail coloration contrasting with body coloration except under the lowest predation pressure (Aire) and longer tails in the mainland species P. hispanica. Correspondence between predation pressure and the suite of autotomic traits suggests that autotomy is an important defence that responds to natural selection. Comparative data are needed to establish the generality of relationships suggested in our study of only three populations. [source] Toward a Cohesive Theory of Polymerization Volume Change, 1MACROMOLECULAR THEORY AND SIMULATIONS, Issue 2 2005Andrew J. Holder Abstract Summary: Rational design of polymer-based composites must include an understanding of how and why polymerization volume change occurs. Computational chemistry methods offer significant leverage in such processes. An obstacle to their use has been the meager amount of systematic volume change data collected under the same conditions and using the same methods. This work provides volume change data for eight oxiranes using the mercury dilatometry method. Densities of pure monomers are often unknown for newly synthesized compounds, but are required for the correction of the composite to monomer volume change. The densities have been estimated here by the application of a newly-developed quantum mechanically-based quantitative structure property relationship (QMQSPR). This computational chemistry model can be used to estimate densities of a large array of organic compounds with sufficient accuracy for most routine purposes. These results are presented herein. Correspondence between experimental and QMQSPR calculated results for densities.

[source] Rapid Holocene chemical weathering on a calcitic lake shoreline in an alpine periglacial environment: Attglřyma, Sognefjell, southern NorwayPERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES, Issue 1 2006Geraint Owen Abstract A small lake (Attglřyma) at an altitude of about 1220,m in the low-alpine zone, southern Norway, has a shore platform in calcitic and quartzitic muscovite-chlorite schists. The platform has recently been exposed by a fall in lake level due to upstream dam construction and exhibits micro-landforms ranging from pits and grooves to upstanding crenulate ridges produced by differential chemical weathering under relatively constant conditions over the last ca. 10,000 years. The maximum surface lowering rate of the calcitic layers estimated from differential weathering is 35,mm,ka,1, which is about an order of magnitude greater than most previous estimates from alpine and polar periglacial environments. Average bedrock surface lowering across the whole platform reached a maximum of 15.5,±,2.2,mm,ka,1 in a vertical zone corresponding with the former lake level, declining to negligible values around 0.7,m below lake level. Differential weathering and bedrock surface lowering were also negligible immediately above lake level. Correspondence of maximum surface lowering rates with the former lake level and a shoreline notch at the back of a platform suggest that the effects of solutional weathering of the calcite have been enhanced by water movement generated by small lake-surface waves.

[source] A systems biology investigation of the MEP/terpenoid and shikimate/phenylpropanoid pathways points to multiple levels of metabolic control in sweet basil glandular trichomesTHE PLANT JOURNAL, Issue 3 2008Zhengzhi Xie Summary The glandular trichome is an excellent model system for investigating plant metabolic processes and their regulation within a single cell type. We utilized a proteomics-based approach with isolated trichomes of four different sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) lines possessing very different metabolite profiles to clarify the regulation of metabolism in this single cell type. Significant differences in the distribution and accumulation of the 881 highly abundant and non-redundant protein entries demonstrated that although the proteomes of the glandular trichomes of the four basil lines shared many similarities they were also each quite distinct. Correspondence between proteomic, expressed sequence tag, and metabolic profiling data demonstrated that differential gene expression at major metabolic branch points appears to be responsible for controlling the overall production of phenylpropanoid versus terpenoid constituents in the glandular trichomes of the different basil lines. In contrast, post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation of some enzymes appears to contribute significantly to the chemical diversity observed within compound classes for the different basil lines. Differential phosphorylation of enzymes in the 2- C -methyl- d -erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP)/terpenoid and shikimate/phenylpropanoid pathways appears to play an important role in regulating metabolism in this single cell type. Additionally, precursors for different classes of terpenoids, including mono- and sesquiterpenoids, appear to be almost exclusively supplied by the MEP pathway, and not the mevalonate pathway, in basil glandular trichomes.
