The Van der Pauw method for transport measurements of conductivity and carrier concentration were tested on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films and silicon wafers, and then implemented on Cu10xAgxZn2Sb4S13 thin films. ITO was used as a test case for high temperature transport measurements because it a well characterized semi-metal. The mobility of...
It has been proposed that individuals develop models
of premarital relationships based on their preferred ways of
experiencing love with another person. This study attempted
to operationalize the concept of relationship models to
determine if individuals differ in how they expect their
feelings of love to develop over the course...
Over the past 10 years there has been much research
on various aspects of gender-role orientation.
Specifically, many studies have explored gender-role
orientation as a predictor of psychological adjustment.
Findings suggest that masculine and androgynous
individuals are high on psychological adjustment whereas,
feminine and undifferentiated individuals score lower on
adjustment....
The purpose of the present study was to describe the process of
premarital relationship dissolution. This description entailed
typologizing relationships on the basis of their trajectories to
involvement and eventual dissolution. One hundred individuals who had
been involved in a serious relationship that had broken up within the
past 12...
Fifty-four premarital couples were interviewed in an attempt to:
(a) delineate pathways of premarital involvement; (b) investigate
differences in the relationships of individuals who follow different
pathways; and (c) examine which background variables predispose individuals
to follow a specific pathway. Four sexual pathway types were
established using a cluster analytic...
Until recently the study of premarital abuse has received
relatively little attention from researchers. Those studies which
have been concerned with this phenomenon reveal that approximately
22% of their college samples reported involvement in abusive dating
relationships, indicating that there is a need for further study in
this area. The...
Early studies on the biosynthesis of Sarubicin A, 1, had suggested the
intermediacy of the novel aromatic amino acid 6-hydroxyanthranilic acid,
17. To investigate the biosynthetic steps beyond 17, [¹³C-¹⁵N carboxamide]
6-hydroxyanthranilamide, 27a, was synthesized, and fed to fermentations
of Streptomyces helicus. Incorporation of 27a into 1 provided suggestive
evidence...
In this report, three studies are presented that aid in the development of drug discovery and their synthesis. In each, the importance of the marriage between computations and experiments is highlighted. Continued efforts in this vein are essential for future efforts towards improving human health.
The first case study investigated...
