Molecular modeling to study dendrimers for biomedical applications
(2014-12-08)
Molecular modeling techniques provide a powerful tool to study the properties of molecules and their interactions at the molecular level. The use of computational techniques to predict interaction patterns and molecular ...
The diffusion of Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) on the internet : The abuse of the cognitive enhancer Piracetam
(2014-12-06)
Introduction: Performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs), also known as “lifestyle drugs,” are increasingly sold on the Internet to enhance cognitive as well as sexual, muscular, attentive, and other natural capacities. ...
Stellar feedback as the origin of an extended molecular outflow in a starburst galaxy
(2014-12-04)
Recent observations have revealed that starburst galaxies can drive molecular gas outflows through stellar radiation pressure. Molecular gas is the phase of the interstellar medium from which stars form, so these outflows ...
Obtaining a Hierarchy of Contextual Factors in Shaping the SOC of Male and Female Adolescents
(2014-12-03)
Sense of coherence (SOC) is an important predictor of health and subjective well-being, but research on the factors that shape SOC development is scarce. Using structural equation modeling, this study obtained a hierarchy ...

An audit of supervisors of midwives' (SoMs') experience of supervision and their understanding of their role as leaders in clinical practice was undertaken. Particular attention was paid to their experiences as newly ...
Unplanned, urgent and emergency care : what are the roles that EMS plays in providing for older people with dementia? An integrative review of policy, professional recommendations and evidence
(2014-12-02)
OBJECTIVE: To synthesise the existing literature on the roles that emergency medical services (EMS) play in unplanned, urgent and emergency care for older people with dementia (OPWD), to define these roles, understand the ...
AWARE-AWAreness during REsuscitation-A prospective study
(2014-12-01)
Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) survivors experience cognitive deficits including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is unclear whether these are related to cognitive/mental experiences and awareness during CPR. ...
β-Nitroso-o-Quinone Methides: Potent Intermediates in Organic Chemistry and Biology : The impact of the NO group on their Structure and Reactivity Profile: a Theoretical Insight
(2014-12)
The structure and reactivity profile of prototype o-quinone methides 1, 2 and their ß-nitroso analogues 6-9 have been investigated by means of DFT and MP2 calculations. These highly reactive unstable species are generated ...
Do optimists plan for retirement? : A behavioural explanation for non-participation in pension schemes
(2014-12)
This paper investigates the relationship between financial optimism and non-participation in pension schemes in the UK. We show that financial optimism reduces the probability of employees joining employer run pension ...
