コンサルテーションにおいて、どのような記録様式を用いることで保護者の行動変容がより促進されるかは、明らかにされていない。本研究では、家庭場面で行動問題を示す自閉スペクトラム症児の母親を対象として、主体的な支援改善や調整を行うために有効な記録様式と母親の行動変容の過程について検討した。母親への介入として、子どもの行動のみを記録する条件と、子どもと母親の行動の両方について記録する条件を継時的に導入した。その結果、子どもと母親の両方の行動を記録する条件において提案された介入が正確に実施され、子どもの行動問題が低減して、さらに、子どもの行動のみを記録する条件に戻しても行動問題の生起頻度が低頻度で維持した。母親の行動随伴性の変容過程を分析した結果、母親が子どもの行動と前後の変化に関するABC記録を実施することで、母親が子どもへの対応方法に関する適切な自己ルールを生成し、子どもの行動改善を促進する可能性が示唆された。

BACKGROUNDThe advancement of natural gas (NG) extraction across the United States (U.S.) raises concern for potential exposure to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Benzene, a HAP and a primary chemical of concern due to its classification as a known human carcinogen, is present in petroleum-rich geologic formations and is formed during the combustion of bypass NG. It is a component in solvents, paraffin breakers, and fuels used in NG extraction and processing (E&P).OBJECTIVESThe objectives of this study are to confirm the presence of benzene and benzene-related compounds (benzene[s]) in residential areas, where unconventional shale E&P is occurring, and to determine if benzene[s] exists in elevated atmospheric concentrations when compared to national background levels.METHODSAmbient air sampling was conducted in six counties in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex with passive samples collected in evacuated 6-L Summa canisters. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, with sampling performed at variable distances from the facility fence line.RESULTSElevated concentrations of benzene[s] in the atmosphere were identified when compared to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program. The 24-hour benzene concentrations ranged from 0.6 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) to 592 ppbv, with 1-hour concentrations from 2.94 ppbv to 2,900.20 ppbv.CONCLUSIONBenzene is a known human carcinogen capable of multisystem health effects. Exposure to benzene is correlated with bone marrow and blood-forming organ damage and immune system depression. Sensitive populations (children, pregnant women, elderly, immunocompromised) and occupational workers are at increased risk for adverse health effects from elevated atmospheric levels of benzene[s] in residential areas with unconventional shale E&P.

The patient was a 38-year-old woman diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Steroid pulse therapy and mizoribine was started in late October 2002 and continued for about 10 months, but no apparent therapeutic effect was obtained. During this period, the patient was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. As nephrotic syndrome did not improve, renal biopsy was performed and membranous nephropathy (MN) was diagnosed. After resection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma was performed, the urinary protein level decreased rapidly. Since MN caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very rare, this represents an interesting case of malignancy-associated MN.

Abstract Ab initio calculations were carried out to study the potential energy surface of (H3CHCH3)−. The 6–31G* basis set is supplemented by a set of diffuse p functions on both C and H (with a range of exponents for the latter). The binding energy of CH4 and CH3− to form the (H3CHCH3)− complex is about 2 kcal/mol, much smaller than for comparable ionic H‐bonded systems involving O or N atoms. Nearly half of this interaction energy is due to correlation effects, computed at second and third orders of Møller‐Plesset perturbation theory. Correlation is also responsible for substantial reductions in the energy barrier to proton transfer within the complex. This barrier is computed to be 13‒15 kcal/mol at the MP3 level, depending upon the exponent used for the H p functions.

Abstract The synthesis of the tritiated sex pheromone of the saturniid moth Antheraea polyphemus was accomplished by stereospecific T2 reduction of (E)‐hexadec‐6‐en‐11‐yn‐1‐yl acetate. The [11, 12‐3H2]‐(E, Z)‐6, 11‐hexadecadieny 1 acetate was then converted to the corresponding diazoacetate, a behaviorally active photoaffinity label for the A. polyphemus pheromone binding and receptor proteins. Synthesis of the enyne precursors is also described.

The first thiaozonides of type (1) have now been synthesized and characterized. (1a), R = Me, and (1b), R = tBu, are stable at −20°C but decompose to diketones at room temperature.

Die Reduktion instabiler Peroxide, z. B. (1) und (2), mit in situ erzeugtem Diazen bildet eine Möglichkeit zu ihrer Charakterisierung. Die reduzierten Addukte (3) bzw. (4) sind bei Raumtemperatur beständig. Erstaunlicherweise zersetzt sich sowohl das Keton (5) als auch das Lacton (4) unter Lichtemission.
