Reading Ability in Patients in Substance Misuse Treatment Centers

International Journal of the Addictions, 1993
Adult inpatients in state-supported (public) and private substance misuse treatment settings were tested for reading ability. Patient education materials and consent forms were assessed for readability levels. Public patients' mean reading levels were significantly lower than those of private patients, and were 4 to 5 years below the level needed to ...

Canal-Centering Ability of Two Rotary File Systems

Journal of Endodontics, 2002
The ability of two nickel-titanium rotary file systems to maintain the original path of the canal were compared by using a new split-mold design (the Endodontic Cube). The mesial roots of 10 mandibular first- and second-molar teeth with separate canals from orifice to foramen were divided into two groups based on canal curvature and morphology. Working

A comparison of canal centering ability of four instrumentation techniques

Journal of Endodontics, 1997
The purpose of this study was to compare three engine driven (nickel-titanium) NiTi instrument systems with hand files for their effect on canal transportation. Mesial roots of mature lower first molars with separate canals were paired on the basis of curvature and morphology.

Optimization of Center-of-Pressure-Based Indices for Assessing Balance Ability

2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA), 2018
Balance ability assessment is crucial for screening mobility decline group and introducing early interventions. However, it is a big challenge to identify the population with moderate balance problems. Force platform test provides a tool for acquiring and analyzing the Center-of-Pressure (COP) signal of the human body. In this paper, the envelope curve

Oxygen activation on metallic centers and oxidizing abilities of such oxygen

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 2007
Abstract It was shown that metallcontaining peroxides such as XOOOBu- t [X = ( t -BuO) 2 Al, ( t -BuO) 3 Ti] generate molecular oxygen in the electron-excited singlet state ( 1 O 2 ). These ozonides and η 2 -peroxocomplex Ph 3 Bi(η 2 O 2 ) demonstrate high oxidative activity towards some classes of organic substances under mild conditions (20 °C).

Associations of nonverbal decoding ability with indices of person‐centered communicative ability

Communication Reports, 1996
This study (n=75) examined the relations of a measure of nonverbal decoding ability (Archer & Costanzo, 1988) with measures of interpersonal cognitive complexity (Role Category Questionnaire) and person‐centered persuasive verbal adaptiveness. Results showed a significant, positive relationship between the measures of nonverbal decoding ability ...
