The approach involves the dissociation of several species simultaneously in a single experiment and provides both increased speed and sensitivity. The data analysis makes use of the known fragmentation pathways ...

The Relationship between the Recognition of Facial Expressions and Self-Reported Anger in People with Intellectual Disabilities
2007-05-01

Background: This study aims to examine the relationship between how individuals with intellectual disabilities report their own levels of anger, and the ability of those individuals to recognize emotions. It was hypothesized that increased expression of anger would be linked to lower ability to recognize facial emotional expressions and ...

The low temperature tensile and creep behaviors of single crystals of Cu were evaluated and analyzed in such a manner as to provide an estimate of the separate contributions of short and long range stress fields to strain-hardening. Furthermore, the average force-displacement diagram for thermally activated intersection of two dislocations were estsblished. This diagram plus a knowledge ...
