    Function of cigarette smoking in relation to examinations (1992)
    Springer
    Psychopharmacology 108 (1992), S. 456-459

    Notes: Abstract Eighty-two college students took part in a study on motives underlying increases in cigarette smoking prior to examinations. One group was tested a month before, and a second group was tested the day before, the start of examinations. Measures were taken of current cigarette consumption, general anxiety, anxiety about forthcoming exams, the importance of sedative and stimulant smoking motives, hours spent revising and in other activities and amount smoked during these activities. The results indicated that the students increased the hours they spent revising and there was a corresponding increase in the number of cigarettes smoked during this activity. They also reported an increase in the importance of stimulant smoking motives. Anxiety levels increased in the run up to exams but there was no increase in sedative smoking motives. The results raise the issue of whether any anxiolytic action of nicotine may be limited to acute stressors and also whether smokers' use of cigarettes to help them stay alert during revision translates into improved examination performance.

    Effect of buspirone on cigarette withdrawal symptoms and short-term abstinence rates in a smokers clinic (1991)

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports on a double blind trial of the effect of buspirone, 15 mg per day, on cigarette withdrawal symptoms and ability of smokers to maintain abstinence during treatment. A total of 61 smokers were randomly assigned to active or placebo conditions. They were maintained on their drug for 2 weeks prior to attempting abstinence and then for a further 4 weeks of abstinence. Subjects attended weekly group sessions of a psychological treatment programme. There was no evidence that the side effects in the active drug group were worse than those in the placebo group. Although there was no significant difference between active and placebo conditions on withdrawal symptoms, smokers in the active drug condition were more than twice as likely to maintain abstinence for the duration of the study than those in the placebo condition (47% versus 16%, chi square = 5.3,P〈0.025). The results provide preliminary evidence for short-term efficacy of buspirone as an aid to smoking cessation at a low dose. They also provide evidence of a dissociation between withdrawal symptoms and successful abstinence.

    Properties of some polysilane polymers: (n-PrSiMe) n , (i-PrSiMe) n , and (sec-BuSiMe) n (1995)
    Springer
    Journal of inorganic and organometallic polymers and materials 5 (1995), S. 31-42 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8870
    Keywords: Polysilane ; nematic mesophase ; liquid crystal ; isotopic phase ; thermochromic transition

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Three polysilane polymers, (n-PrSiMe) n , (i-PrSiMe) n , and (sec-BuSiMe) n , were synthesized and characterized by DSC. UV spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy, all at variable temperatures. The known thermochromic transition of (n-PrSiMe) n at ∼48 C is associated with a change from an orthorhombic to an isotropic phase. (i-PrSiMe) n was examned as an insoluble and soluble (lowM w) fraction, both existing mainly in an orthohombic lattice at room temperature. (sec-BuSiMe) n has a mesophase structure at 25 C, undergoes a weak endothermic transition to a second (nematic) mesophase near 65 C, and becomes isotropic at ∼160 C.

    Synthesis and characterization of alternating silane copolymers: (Me2Si−R2Si−Me2Si) n (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Bimodal molecular weight distributions of alternating copolymers of the type (Me2Si−R2Si−SiMe2) n , where R=hexyl and butyl, were obtained by polymerization of BrSiMe2−R2Si−Me2SiBr, using the Wurtz coupling method. Analysis of the samples by pyrolysis GC MS and solution29Si NMR indicated that some randomization occurred, due to cleavage of the original Si−Si bonds in the monomer. The extent of randomization was significantly greater in the high molecular weight fractions. Based on the nature of the rings from the py MGC/MS traces and the number on nonads found in the29Si spectra, two types of randomization processes have been proposed, involving backbiting followed by (1) ring expulsion or (2) redistribution.

    Notes: High molecular weight polysilane copolymers which contain the units in the title were prepared in high yield by sodium coupling the corresponding organodichlorosilanes in toluene. These copolymers are highly soluble in common solvents and can be drawn into fibers or formed into films by molding or casting. They are also photoactive.
