Interindividual variation in anxiety response to amphetamine: Possible role for adenosine A(2A) receptor gene variants.
No full textAmphetamine is thought to produce its stimulant effects mainly via the dopamine system, but its effects may also be influenced by other systems. Dopamine D1 and D2 receptors exist as heterodimers with adenosine A1 and A2A receptors, which modulate their responsiveness, suggesting that responses to amphetamine may also depend on adenosinergic function. We therefore studied the relevance of one adenosine A1 and three adenosine A2A receptor gene polymorphisms for the interindividual variability in amphetamine response in 99 healthy volunteers who received placebo or d-amphetamine (10 or 20 mg). The 1976C/T and 2592C/Tins polymorphisms of the adenosine receptor gene were associated with increases in anxiety at both doses. This is consistent with recent observations indicating a role for adenosine A2A receptor gene polymorphisms in anxiety.Christa Hohoff, Jennifer M. McDonald, Bernhard T. Baune, Edwin H.

Evaluating tire/pavement noise utilizing the on-board sound intensity method
No full textMitigating transportation noise is a major concern for Departments of Transportation (DOT) nationwide. From a responsibility standpoint, once a noise source leaves the boundary of the property, the noise control falls under the jurisdiction of the DOT. In the past, mitigation by the DOT was typically accomplished by erecting a sound barrier. If there was more noise or louder noise, a larger wall was used. As construction of these walls is prohibitively expensive, DOTs are increasingly interested in mitigating noise from the source. In order to investigate noise being produced at the source, the on-board sound intensity method was utilized to investigate quiet pavements. The method revealed the acoustical properties of both conventional pavements and quiet pavements. This research also led to the investigation of the effects of vehicle speed, effects of temperature and effects of different consumer tires and the role each plays in the generation of noise at the tire pavement interface.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Edwin H Haas II
La prisión como laboratorio criminológico
No full textIn this article of the early 30s, Edwin H. Sutherland defends the reasons to address the phenomenon of crime through the study of prisoners and their characteristics. With administrative objectives, he proposes to know the criminal behavior to establish profiles and categorizations of prisoners, but also in order to improve the training and skills of prison employees. Although he poses a series of methodological and technical obstacles that could call into question the validity of his approach, the author explores the way to overcome these limitations by describing some parallelisms with other research processes, and stressing the advantages of bringing the scientific method closer to study in prisons. Hence, he establishes the simile of prisons as "criminological laboratories."En este artículo de principios de los años 30, Edwin H. Sutherland defiende las razones por las que abordar el fenómeno de la delincuencia a través del estudio de los presos y sus características. Con objetivos administrativos, propone conocer la conducta criminal para establecer perfiles y categorizaciones de presos, pero también de cara a mejorar la formación y capacidades de los empleados de prisiones. Si bien parte de un serie de obstáculos metodológicos y técnicos que podrían poner en cuestión la validez de su planteamiento, este autor va desgranando la manera de salvar estas limitaciones describiendo paralelismo con otros procesos de investigación y reforzando las ventajas que supone acercar el método científico al estudio en prisiones. De ahí que establezca el símil de las prisiones como “laboratorios criminológicos”
Contributions to Dynamic Behaviour of Materials Professor John Edwin Field, FRS 1936–2020
No full textProfessor John Edwin Field passed away on October 21st, 2020 at the age of 84. Professor Field was widely regarded as a leader in high-strain rate physics and explosives. During his career in the Physics and Chemistry of Solids (PCS) Group of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, John made major contributions into our understanding of friction and erosion, brittle fracture, explosives, impact and high strain-rate effects in solids, impact in liquids, and shock physics. The contributions made by the PCS group are recognized globally and the impact of John’s work is a lasting addition to our knowledge of the dynamic effects in materials. John graduated 84 Ph.D. students and collaborated broadly in the field. Many who knew him attribute their success to the excellent grounding in research and teaching they received from John Field.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace Material
Dr. Edwin Wright Letters: E. H. Ted Nagle
No full textLetter - This letter was written in 1970 by Mr. E. H. Nagle. He recounts his personal history including his father working as a fur trader in Athabasca in 1883. Mr. Nagle describes growing up along the river, the difficulties of early travel, including remembrances of when the roadbed was first laid from Morinville. His father, Ed Nagle, staked the first claims (8) on Pine Point in 1898. Other mining ventures and stories of Mr. E. H. Nagles' early life are shared in this letter (2 pages
