Self-determination theory research has demonstrated that intrinsic and identified self-regulations are associated with successful adaptation. However, few distinctions typically made between these regulations their outcomes. In the present studies, associations motivations outcomes of psychological well-being academic performance compared in educational settings. Study 1, self-regulation predicted well-being, independent performance. contrast, regulation Additionally, more students an...
The authors investigated a large number of stressors and measures psychological distress in multicenter, prospective cohort study spontaneous preterm birth among 5,337 Montreal (Canada)-area women who delivered from October 1999 to April 2004. In addition, nested case-control analysis (207 cases, 444 controls) was used explore potential biologic pathways by analyzing maternal plasma corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), placental histopathology, (in subset) hair cortisol. Among the stress...
Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality in industrialised societies. Its incidence greatly increased among socially disadvantaged, but reasons for this excess are unclear and have been relatively unexplored. We hypothesise two distinct sets causal pathways mechanisms that may explain social disparities preterm birth. The first set involves chronic acute psychosocial stressors, psychological distress caused by those secretion placental corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH),...
Although the infant–caregiver attachment bond is critical to survival, little known about biological mechanisms supporting representations in humans. Oxytocin plays a key role formation and maintenance animals thus could be expected affect To investigate this possibility, we administered 24 IU intranasal oxytocin healthy male adults double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover designed study then assessed memories of childhood maternal care closeness—two features bond. We found that effects...
Four experiments were run to test the anticoccidial activity of dried Artemisia annua leaves and several their chemical constituents for possible use as prophylactic feed additives. When fed over a period 3 wk at level 5%, leaf supplement A. provided significant protection against lesions due Eimeria tenella but not acervulina or maxima. 5 1% chicks undergoing immunization with live vaccine, it in partially immunized E. from dual species challenge infection. It also afforded lower mean...
Several commercial and experimental herbicides such as p -nitrodiphenyl ethers, oxadiazoles, cyclic imides inhibit protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (Protox), the enzyme that converts to protoporphyrin (Proto). This leads uncontrolled autooxidation of substrate results in accumulation Proto. Blockage porphyrin pathway at this site inhibits synthesis both chlorophylls heme. Heme is a feedback regulator pathway. Thus, inhibition Protox also deregulates pathway, causing increased carbon flow...
Chromonic systems are lyotropic liquid crystal phases formed by soluble aromatic compounds. They occur as the result of face-to-face aggregation molecules into columns. There two principal chromonic phases; N phase which consists a nematic array columns and at higher concentrations, M phase, in lie hexagonal array. range multi-ring compounds including drugs, dyes nucleic acids. have characteristic multi-peritectic diagrams distinctive optical textures.The exploitation unique properties has...
Two soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars, Essex and Williams, were grown in the field for 6 consecutive seasons under ambient supplemental levels of ultravio‐Set‐B radiation to determine potential alterations yield or seed quality with a reduction stratospheric ozone column. The UV‐B fluences simulated 16 25% depletion. data presented here represent first experiment conducted over multiple which assesses effects increased on yield. Overall, cultivar was found be sensitive (yield...
Chromonic systems are lyotropic mesophases formed by soluble aromatic compounds. The basic structural units in these stacks of molecules (rather than individual or micellar assemblies). There two common chromonic phases: a more dilute phase consisting nematic array columns (the N phase) and concentrated which the lie hexagonal M phase). phases range compounds, including drugs, dyes nucleic acids, typically with three four fused rings. They have distinctive optical textures characteristic...
Two studies demonstrated that global and relationship-specific models of self other are correlated but not redundant constructs. Relationship-specific were operationalized in terms significant role relationships (Study 1) salient (i.e., frequent interactions; Study 2). Longitudinal analyses suggested specific generalized to ones over time had a small effect shaping time.

Two studies investigated how contextually activating attachment relationships influences the working self-concept in terms of agency and communion. In Study 1, 245 participants were primed with a secure, avoidant, or anxious-ambivalent relationship implicit accessibility communion was assessed using word fragments. Activating secure increased communion, whereas an agency. 2, 123 preoccupied, avoidant-dismissive, avoidant-fearful explicit self-perceptions traits Extended Personality...
In light of Brickmarfs (1987a) model commitment, it is argued that adversity serves as a clear test one's felt commitment. Furthermore, proposed people feel especially committed to those experiences they see diagnostic their values. Therefore, we hypothesized self-relevant values (Steele, 1988) may be an antecedent variable predicts commitment in the face adversity. Study 1, cross-sectional study students' ongoing personal projects, revealed perceived value relevance projects interacted with...

Abstract Secondary compounds serve both endogenous and exogenous functions in higher plants because they are involved plant growth development as well intraspecies interspecies interactions. Documentation of the effects pesticides on secondary compound biosynthesis is increasing. While several herbicides have been reported to reduce levels by non‐specific mechanisms, a few herbicides, such alachlor glyphosate, directly affect specific biosynthetic steps. Alachlor reduces flavonoid synthesis...
Phytotoxic compounds from plants and microorganisms represent a wide range of chemistries mechanisms action that have potential in the design development new herbicides. Although several natural products higher been patented as herbicides, none developed commercially. Many microbial herbicides or are being developed, including bialophos {L-2-amino-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl] -butyryl-L-alanyl-L-alanine} glufosinate [L-2-amino-4-(hydroxyl)(methyl)(phosphinoyl)-butyric acid].
