Rett Syndrome: Revised diagnostic criteria and nomenclature [PDF]

, 2010
Objective: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disease that affects approximately 1 in 10,000 live female births and is often caused by mutations in Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). Despite distinct clinical features, the accumulation

Distribution and Characterization of Typical Antibiotics in Water Bodies of the Yellow River Estuary and Their Ecological Risks

Toxics, 2023
A total of 34 antibiotics from five major classes of antibiotics, including macrolides, sulfonamides, quinolones, tetracyclines and chloramphenicol, were considered as contaminants, considering the Yellow River Estuary as the study area. The distribution,

STABILITY CRITERIA [PDF]

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1978
Three approaches to the determination of behavioral stability were examined. In the first, a learning curve was fit to acquisition data (from Cumming and Schoenfeld, 1960), and the “experiment” stopped when the data approached sufficiently close to the theoretical asymptote. In the second, the data were analyzed for variability and linear and quadratic

Exploring HONO production from particulate nitrate photolysis in representative regions of China: characteristics, influencing factors, and environmental implications [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
The production mechanism of atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO), an important precursor of the hydroxyl radical (OH), remains controversial. Few studies have explored the effects of particulate nitrate photolysis on HONO sources under different environment ...

A New Method for Ecological Risk Assessment of Combined Contaminated Soil

Toxics, 2023
Ecological risk assessment of combined polluted soil has been conducted mostly on the basis of the risk screening value (RSV) of a single pollutant. However, due to its defects, this method is not accurate enough.
