Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Order of Birth and Schizophrenia

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1966
In a previous survey of hospital in-patients it was observed that among schizophrenics the earlier born were affected to a greater extent (Rao and Sundararaj, 1964). Following a suggestion by Slater (personal communication) the work was extended and further data collected on a larger number of patients to determine the role of birth order in ...

Stillbirth and birth order

Annals of Human Genetics, 1968
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS1. Some stillbirth sibships are characterized by positive birth‐order effects, and among them some are probably of the sort illustrated by Fig. 1; other stillbirth sibships are characterized by negative order effects, and among them some are probably of the sort illustrated by Fig. 2.2.

Birth Order and Virginity

Psychological Reports, 1971
Despite the existence of a fairly extensive body of literature dealing with the correlates of birth order, little is known about whether this variable influences sexual behavior. The work of Schachter (1959) and others suggests the possibility that greater need for affiliation might increase the incidence of sexual behavior among firstborns.

Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, 2003

Handedness and Birth Order

Nature, 1971
IN spite of much speculation on the matter, the aetiology of left-handedness remains elusive. Investigators have considered heredity, neurological pathology, imitation and negative personality, but the evidence in support of any particular hypothesis is inconclusive. There are, however, some suggestive facts. The frequency of left-handedness is greater

Birth Order

2007
Abstract Sibling competition is a common occurrence in the animal world and occasionally ends in siblicide. Birth order often affects the outcome of such struggles because it is a proxy for differences in age, size, power, and access to scarce resources. Among humans, ordinal position is associated with disparities in parental investment,
