    Notes: Abstract Surface electromyographic (EMG) recordings from the left and right masseteric areas during physical and psychological induced stress were obtained from 20 patients with mandibular dysfunction and 20 healthy controls. Integrated electromyographic activity was not significantly different for the two sides but was higher for patients than for controls during both stress and relaxation. Anxiety level, as measured with the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, was higher for patients. Biofeedback treatment for the patients resulted in significantly reduced signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction. When the test procedures were repeated, the controls had not changed in their electromyographic responses during stress, whereas the patients showed a significant decrease in this respect. The results obtained are discussed in terms of a systems-oriented etiological concept.

    Notes: Laser Raman spectra of the trinucleoside diphoshate ApApA and dinucleoside phosphates ApU, UpA, GpC, CpG, and GpU are reported and discussed. Assignments of conformationally sensitive frequencies are-facilitated by comparison with spectra reported here of poly(rA), poly(rC), and poly(rU) in deuterium oxide solutions. The significant spectral differences between ApU and UpA, and between GpC and CpG, reveal that the sequence isomers have nonidentical conformations in aqueous solution. In UpA at low temperature the bases are stacked and the backbone conformation is similar to that found in ordered polynucleotide structures and RNA. In ApU no base stacking can be detected and the backbone conformation differs from that found in UpA, both in the orientation of phosphodiester linkages and in the internal conformation of ribose. At the conditions employed neither ApU nor UpA exhibits base pairing in aqueous solutions. In both GpC and CpG the bases are stacked and the phosphodiester conformations are similar to those encountered for UpA and RNA. However, major differences between spectra of GpC and CpG indicate that the geometries of stacking and ribosyl conformations are different. In GpC the Raman data favor the formation of hydrogen bonded dimers containing GC pairs. Protonation of C in GpC is sufficient to eliminate the ordered conformation detected by Raman spectroscopy. Despite the ordered backbone conformation evident in GpU, this dinucleoside apparently contains neither stacked nor hydrogen bonded bases at the conditions employed here. The Raman data also confirm the stacking interactions in ApApA, poly(rA), and poly(rC) but suggest that the backbone conformation in poly(rC) differs qualitatively from that found in most ordered polynucleotide structures and is thermally more stable. The present results demonstrate the sensitivity of the Raman technique to sequence-related structural differences in oligonucleotides and provide additional spectra-structure correlations for future conformational studies of RNA by laser Raman spectroscopy.

    Uv resonance Raman spectroscopy of nucleic acid duplexes containing A-U and A-T base pairs (1990)

    Notes: Resonance Raman spectra have been obtained at several uv wavelengths (200-266 nm) for poly(rA)-poly(rU), poly(dA-dU), poly(dA)-poly(dT), and poly(dA-dT), representing nucleic acid duplexes containing A-U and A-T base pairs with different stacking interactions and different backbone conformations. Frequency shifts are seen in the exocyclic modes corresponding to coupled C4=O and C5=C6 stretching of U and T, although the NH2 scissors frequency of A is unshifted relative to that of the mononucleotide. These frequency patterns are interpreted as the superposition of H bonding and dipole-dipole coupling effects. Strong hypochromism is seen for most of the ring modes, resulting from the absorption hypochromism and from shifts in the electronic transitions due to stacking. The effects are larger for A bands in the homopolymers than in the heteropolymer duplexes, reflecting the larger influence of A/A than A/U(T) stacking. Poly(rA)-poly(rU) stands out among these polymers in showing 10 cm-1 downshifts in one U and several A modes. These shifts may be related to the A form structural parameters of this duplex, but the physical mechanism is not obvious.

    Chain-Cleavage and hydrolysis of activated polyethylene glycol derivatives: Evidence for competitive processes (1990)

    Notes: Studies have been carried out with the tosylate of the monomethyl ether of polyethylene glycol (MeO-PEG-OTs) and with low molecular weight models to assess whether the neighboring oxygen at position 3 or 6 provides the driving force for hydrolytic cleavage of these activated derivatives. Our results reveal that MeO-PEG-OTs undergoes hydrolysis by competitive pathways. Water directly displaces the tosylate group to give the original PEG alcohol and the oxygen at position 6 nucleophilically displaces the tosylate group to give a cyclic oxonium ion as an intermediate. This intermediate can react by three pathways. First, it can lead to the production of the original PEG alcohol by attack of water on a ring carbon; second, dioxane and a lower molecular weight PEG alcohol is produced by water attack at the nonring carbon next to the charged oxygen; and third dioxane can be displaced by the oxygen atom at position 6 in the chain.

    General theory of stationary random sequences with applications to the tacticity of polymersPaper presented at the 142nd Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Atlantic City, New Jersey, September 1962. (1996)

    Notes: When, in a poly-α-olefin, the probability that a given placement be isotactic depends upon the tacticity of only a finite number of immediate predecessors, the resulting diastereosequence distribution obeys the theory of Markoff chains. When this is not the case, one says that the resulting diastereosequence distribution is non-Markoffian. A special case of a Markoffian distribution is given by a simple Markof chain in which the tacticity of a given placement is assumed to be affected by only the tacticity of the immediately preceding placement. Another special case is, of course, the Bernoulli trial distribution in which the probability that a given placement be isotactic is independent of the tacticity of all other placements. A high resolution NMR spectrum can sometimes yield a quantitative determination of the concentrations of isotactic and syndiotactic placements and the concentrations of the three types of possible adjacent pairs of such placements (i.e., isotactic, syndiotactic, and heterotactic pairs). When this is the case, the spectrum can be used to determine whether or not a given diastereosequence distribution is Bernoullian. However, because the longest diastereosequences whose concentration can be measured by NMR spectroscopy involve only two placements, an NMR spectrum cannot check whether a given non-Bernoullian distribution be simple Markoffian or Markoffian in general. In fact, non-Markoffian distributions are compatible with existing NMR spectra on polymers prepared by anionic polymerizations. In this paper we work within the framework of Kac's theory of stationary statistical processes and point out some general results which are valid for both Markoffian and non-Markoffian processes. The results are applied to NMR spectroscopy and it is pointed out which calculations used to check the self-consistency of NMR data and to obtain the mean length of closed diastereosequences are valid for both Markoffian and non-Markoffian distributions.

    The influence of brief episodes of aerobic exercise activity, soothing music-nature scenes condition, and suggestion on coping with test-taking anxiety (1996)

    Notes: Abstract This study examines the influence of aerobic exercise activity, soothing musicnature scenes condition, and suggestion on coping with test-taking anxiety. Sixty test anxious subjects were randomly assigned to four treatment groups consisting of 15-min episodes of exercise or soothing music-nature scenes condition with or without verbal suggestion that the treatment task in which they were engaged would be helpful to them. A videotaped “intelligence test” used to stimulate test-taking anxiety was given to the subjects after the soothing music-nature scenes condition or exercise tasks. The Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist (MAACL) was used to appraise anxiety during the laboratory procedures. Results indicate that exercise, soothing music-nature scenes condition, and suggestion play a role in reducing anxiety. While relaxation activity proved to be superior to exercise in reducing anxiety immediately following the “treatment” episode, these differences disappear following exposure to a stressful “IQ test” and exercise (as well as suggestion) had a better stress inoculation effect than soothing music-nature scenes condition or no suggestion.

    Notes: Abstract This study sought to evaluate the association between perceived and cardiovascular stress responsivity among subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Temporomandibular Disorder (TMJ). Eight participants with IBS, eight participants with TMJ and 16 nonsymptomatic comparison participants took part in the experiment. Participants completed a series of personality and mood questionnaires as well as a laboratory procedure measuring aerobic fitness, cardiovascular responses (i.e., pulse rate and blood pressure), and perceived stress while performing stressful laboratory tasks (i.e., the Stroop Color Naming Test and a speech task). Although IBS and TMJ participants did not vary significantly from comparison participants in blood pressure or heart rate during the laboratory procedures, IBS and TMJ participants reported experiencing the laboratory tasks as more stressful than comparison participants. Although preliminary due to the small sample size, results suggest that IBS and TMJ sufferers may be more sensitive to perceived stress than others.

    Notes: Abstract This study sought to evaluate the association between perceived physical fitness, actual fitness measured by VO2max, daily physical activity measured by an ambulatory activity monitor, and coping with daily stress. One hundred and thirty participants completed a series of questionnaires measuring perceived fitness as well as daily stress and coping levels each day for one week. Participants were also provided with a digital physical activity monitor (Yamax Digi-Walker SW 200) and instructed to wear it throughout the seven day assessment period. Upon completion of the week evaluation, participants then were evaluated for actual physical fitness by treadmill testing. Multiple regression and effect size analysis revealed that perceived fitness predicted daily coping better than actual fitness and daily physical activity. Coping was unrelated to age, gender,VO2max, and physical activity. Results suggest that perceived fitness may be a better predictor of coping with daily stress than actual physical fitness or physical activity.

    Notes: A molecular-based statistical simulation program was developed to study the covariance terms involved in the mass balance equations for complex chemical reactions during mixing. Several closure theories were compared to the simulations and available experimental data. The simple closure by Brodkey and Lewalle was found to be an extension of Toor's analysis applied to two reactions. This closure does not satisfy the molar fluctuation balance equation and was found only to represent the high Reynolds number data of Li and Toor. This result led to examining other possible closures which were based on Damkoehler numbers, reaction rate constant ratios, and limiting forms of the covariance term. These closures also were inadequate. The second reaction's covariance term varied from the product of the average values for each component to the Brodkey and Lewalle value for the range of Reynolds numbers considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: Increasing of wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by nitrogen implantationNitrogen ion implantation is used to improve the wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Different implantation doses up to 1 · 1018N+/cm2 and E = 170 KeV were used. The unimplanted and the implanted specimens were tested in a wear model system with oscillation loading. The results show, that the wear performance was influenced by implantation dose and also by mean pressure. It was found, that surfaces, which are produced by a high implantation dose (1 · 1018N+/cm2), exhibited greater were resistance than untreated Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The best wear behaviour was achieved by a high implantation dose (1 · 1018N+/cm2) and a low mean pressure (p =0.22 MPa) at the wear test. The difference between the wear rate of the untreated and of the implantated specimen can obtain a factor about 10. The effective depth of the implantation action is greater than the penetration depth of the nitrogen ions.
    Notes: Durch Implantation von Stickstoff-Ionen wurde die Randschicht der Ti-Al6-V4-Legierung mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung des Verschleißverhaltens modifiziert. Es wurde dazu mit unterschiedlichen Stickstoffdosen bis 1 · 1018N+/cm2 bei E = 170 keV implantiert. Die Modellverschleißuntersuchungen bei oszillierender Beanspruchung wiesen nach, daß die Implantationsdosis in Abhängigkeit von der im Tribosystem wirkenden mittleren Pressung den Verschleiß deutlich beeinflußt. Wird mit einer hohen Dosis (1 ·1018N+/cm2) implantiert und werden die Beanspruchungsbedingungen so gewählt, daß nur eine relativ geringe Pressung von p ≤ 0.22 MPa auftritt, dann ist mit einer Erhöhung der Verschleißbeständigkeit mindestens um den Faktor 10 zu rechnen. Für größere Pressungen nimmt die Erhöhung des Verschleißwiderstandes ab. Die verschleißmindernde Wirktiefe der Implantation liegt weit über der Eindringtiefe der implantierten Stickstoffionen.
