    Notizen: Abstract Most of the epidemiological studies designed to determine the prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Portugal were hospital-based and the rates reported were around 1/1000. A sentinel network of general practitioners (GPs) has been in effect in the country since 1989, involving doctors with a relatively stable list of patients. This group of doctors notifies, every week, all the cases of certain selected diseases that may occur among the patients under their surveillance. On average, each doctor is responsible for 1500 to 1800 persons, of all ages and both sexes, whose main descriptive characteristics are known and updated every year. This led us to the idea of estimating the prevalence of Parkinson's disease in the community and to compare the estimated rates with hospital-based rates. One hundred and fifty general practitioners agreed to participate in a cross-sectional study which included a sample of 220,000 persons. The study took place between March and April 1992 and information on 291 PD patients was collected. Results show that among the study population, age-standardized rates were 1.4/1000 for males and 1.3/1000 for females. Sex-specific rates increase consistently with age in both sexes, reaching a level of 9/1000 in the oldest age group, ‘75 and more’ years. These results estimate a higher prevalence of PD than was determined previously through hospital-based studies and allowed us to determine that patients aged 65 years and more are much likely to be followed by their own GP, either because the disease its already controlled and they are specifically seeking medication or because they find it difficult to attend neurology clinics. To attain a more comprehensive care of such patients, a good collaboration should be guaranteed between the primary care level and the referral neurologists.

    Notizen: Abstract Objective: To examine the secular trend of weight, height and obesity among young Portuguese males at the time of military inspection for national conscription purposes in the region of Lisbon, during the last thirty years. Design: Cross-sectional study, based on the review of military census files. Setting: Military selection centre of Lisbon. Subjects and methods: In Portugal, military service is obligatory and medical inspections are carried out every year on males at the age of twenty. For study purposes, representative samples were taken from the young male population undergoing inspection for the Armed Forces on a five year basis, between 1960 and 1990 in the region of Lisbon. Weight and height were evaluated by a trained team, using standard measurement instruments and procedures. Results: A progressive and significant increase in weight, height and BMI of the young male population was found between 1960 and 1990. For certain variables the increase was also statistically significant within a five-year period, as it was the case for height between 1965–1980 and for weight between 1985–1990. The increase in BMI experienced some minor fluctuation along the reference period, however, it was statistically significant between 1985–1990. The increase in weight and in BMI was greater in the highest percentiles and particularly noticeable between 1985 and 1990. The percentage of young males with BMI over 25 kg/m2 was of 8.1% in 1960 and of 18.0% in 1990, while those having a BMI over 27 kg/m2 varied between 3.6% and 6.4% in the same period, respectively. The percentage of young adult males with BMI higher than 25 kg/m2 doubled between 1960 and 1990.

    Notizen: Abstract A computer based formulation for the analysis of mechanical systems is investigated as a feasible method to predict the impact response of complex structural systems. A general methodology for the dynamic analysis of rigid-flexible multibody systems using a number of redundant Cartesian coordinates and the method of the Lagrange multipliers is presented. The component mode synthesis is then used to reduce the number of flexible degrees of freedom. In many impact situations, the individual structural members are overloaded giving rise to plastic deformations in highly localized regions, called plastic hinges. This concept is used by associating revolute nonlinear actuators with constitutive relations corresponding to the collapse behavior of the structural components. The contact of the system components is described using a continuous force model based on the Hertz contact law with hysteresis damping. The effect and importance of structural damping schemes in flexible bodies are also addressed here. Finally, the validity of this methodology is assessed by comparing the results of the proposed models with those obtained in different experimental tests where: a beam collides transversally with a rigid block; a torque box impacts a rigid barrier.

    Notizen: Different formulations based on multibody dynamics are shown to be suitable for the development of a methodology for the impact simulation and crashworthiness design of railway vehicles. The proposed design methodology comprises different computer-aided tools of increasing complexity and accuracy which can be used with greater advantage and efficiency in the different design stages of railway stock. In general, the crashworthiness design methods and associated multibody dynamic tools which are presented in this paper require information to be obtained from numerical or experimental crush tests of specific structural components, subassemblies and critical energy absorption devices normally located in car extremities. This hybrid feature lends to the present design process various efficiency gains as a result of a better understanding of the crash and different collapse mechanisms and ease of use. To access the merits of the present methodologies some new designs are discussed and the application of the proposed numerical tools is illustrated for different structural configurations of car extremities. A formulation for the sensitivity analysis and optimization of planar constrained mechanical systems is also presented. An example of crashworthiness design of an end underframe model of a railway car is solved to demonstrate the use of the methodology. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notizen: The Cα—C internal rotation in 2-methylpropionic, 2-methylthiopropionic (thiol and thion forms) and 2-methyldithiopropionic acids was studied by the ab initio SCF-MO method using 3-21G and 3-21G + d(0.65S) basis sets. Energies and structures of several conformations of these molecules, determined by gradient geometry refinement, are reported and used to assess the effects of oxygen-by-sulphur substitution on molecular properties. The nature and relative importance of intramolecular interactions involving both the α-methyl substituents and the C(=X)Y (X, Y= O or S) fragment are also discussed.

    Notizen: The Raman and infrared spectra of methyl trans-cinnamate were measured as a function of temperature in the liquid and solid phases. The temperature dependence of the band intensities established the presence of two conformers in the liquid phase (the s-cis and s-trans forms, with C=C—C=O dihedral angles equal to 0° and 180°, respectively; ΔH(s-trans)-(s-cis) = 3.43 ± 0.84 kJ mol-1) and led to the conclusion that the thermodynamically most stable s-cis form is the only form present in the solid.

    Notizen: Raman spectra of di-n-butylamine show bands whose temperature-dependent intensities clearly suggest the occurrence of different conformers in simultaneous equilibria. In particular, the Raman spectrum of the solid phase is compared with that of n-nonane in order to identify the more stable conformation. In addition, intensity rations vs temperature for pairs of Raman bands in the CH stretching region exhibit a smooth variation between the liquid and solid.

    Notizen: Ab initio SCF MO calculations at the 3-21G level and the vibrational spectra [Raman and Fourier transform (FT) IR] of liquid-phase 2-chloro- and 3-chlorostyrene are reported. For 2-chlorostyrene, the ab initio calculations predict skew and gauche minima, with an energy difference of 11.5 kJ mol-1, and no evidence of more than one conformer was found in the liquid-phase Raman and FTIR spectra. The Raman spectra of liquid 3-chlorostyrene show pairs of bands whose temperature-dependent intensities clearly suggest the occurrence of a conformational equilibrium. From these bands, assigned to non-planar cis and trans conformers, a trans-cis energy difference of 2.3 ± 0.5 kJ mol-1 was obtained for the liquid phase.

    Notizen: Raman spectra of styrene (S), 3-fluorostyrene (3FS), 3-chlorostyrene (3CS) and 3-methylstyrene (3MS) and their complexes in α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (α-, β-, γCD) were recorded at various temperatures. The substituted styrene molecules were found to provide good group frequencies, namely, vC=C and vC—H, for probing the guest molecules. Generally, the C=C oscillator is shown to be a good probe for studying conformational equilibria of the guest molecule perturbed by complex formation with the various CD molecules. The CH oscillators provide information concerning plausible structures for the complexes. On the whole, all the spectral observations are consistent with different types of structures for the (S, 3MS)-αCD and (3FS, 3CS)-αCD complexes. In particular, the Raman spectroscopic results suggest that, for 3MS-αCD the vinyl group keeps some rotational freedom. For 3FS-αCD and 3CS-αCD, it is suggested that the most electronegative fluorine and chlorine atoms are left outside the the CD cavity, with the vinyl group rotationally hindered. For the γCD complexes, the wider CD cavity sould be able to accommodate all the guest molecules considered keeping the conformer distributions of the pure liquids approximately. However, the inclusion process seems to hinder the internal rotation in such a way that even below 200 K the conformer distribution remains similar to that of the pure liquid at room temperature.

    Notizen: A comparative Raman band shape study of the reorientation of monosubstituted benzene molecules (C6H5X, X = CH3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3 and C≡CCH3) in the liquid phase has been performed. Reorientational correlation functions appear to be less sensitive to molecular reorientation about the major axis (Z axis) than to rotation of the axis itself, approaching a symmetric top case. Molecular motion anisotropy is found to increase in the order C6H5CH3 〈 C6H5CH2Cl 〈 C6H5CHCl2 〈 C6H5CCl3 〈 C6H5CCCH3 as the rotation about the Z axis becomes increasingly preferred. These results are in agreement with NMR spin-lattice relaxation data.As expected for liquids with imporatant intermolecular interactions, both the free rotor and Kubo's model fail to fit the experimental correlation functions.
