Validity of Bender-Gestalt test signs measuring depressive, antisocial, and impulsive acting out personality characteristics
No full textThe Bender-Gestalt test is one of the most widely used psychological tests in clinical practice. However, very few empirical studies have investigated its projective use with adults. The purpose of the present study was to replicate a study conducted by Sellbom et al. (2001), which examined distortions of the Bender-Gestalt hypothesized to measure antisocial, impulsive, and depressive characteristics. It was found that the findings in Sellbom et al. (2001) were partially replicated, indicating that certain distortions, especially in conjunction, were significantly related to antisocial characteristics. The author suggests that the Bender-Gestalt could potentially be used as a screening measure for antisocial characteristics, but not to measure impulsive and depressive characteristics.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Psychological Scienc
The clamp bender: a new testing equipment for thin glass
No full textThe bending strength of flat glass panels including the effects of their edges, is commonly determined by means of the four-point bending test method. This is an established and reliable method. However, when testing glass thinner than 3 mm, large deformation may occur. This means that the calculated stresses might not correspond to the actual, as the hypothesis behind the small deformation theory does no longer hold. Furthermore, it might occur that the specimen slips out of the supports, compelling the testing impossible. An alternative method, suitable for thin glass, consists of inducing an increasing curvature from flat until fracture. The curvature is to be constant along the length of the specimen at any time. The stress at fracture is calculated by knowing the corresponding radius or the applied bending moment. The equipment capable of performing this test is the clamp bender whereby the glass is held by two clamps at the specimen’s ends. Rotational and translational movement combine to uniaxially bend the glass as desired. This paper explores the validity of the clamp bender for testing thin glass by comparing the results generated by three different test setups developed at TU Darmstadt, TU Dresden and AGC. The three individually developed clamp bender setups follow the same principle, but present a few differences in actuation. Using these three clamp bender test setups, identical series of thin glass specimens were tested. The results showed that the glass fracture strength data coming from different setups match quite well one another. This paper discusses the different test setups and compares the obtained glass strength data. It contributes to the development of a universally applicable, simple and reliable test method for thin glass.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.Applied Mechanic

No full textJean Bouisson, The « Bender test » as a Projective Test.
After a brief review about the « Bender test » from its beginning to its utilisation in a projective perspective, the author tries to show why this test represents an interesting element in the test battery of the clinical psychologist. He also clarifies the specificity of the test in comparison with the Rorschach and the TAT and asserts its relevance as to the study of the style components.

Bender Shetler, Jan. — Telling Our Own Stories
No full textThe present volume by the historian Jan Bender Shetler is a publication of the African Sources for the African History Series whose purpose is to cover the history of the African continent. Contrary to West, Southern, and Central Africa, publications of historical texts about East Africa are very limited. TellingOurOwnStories tries to remedy this lack of historical data. It presents a large collection of written local stories from the South Mara region of Tanzania collected by the author hers..
Retracing Jewish Roots on the North Dakota Prairie
No full textIn this program Rebecca Bender, co-author with her father, Kenneth Bender, shares lessons she learned about life, family, and faith while writing the book Still, which is an account of five generations of a Jewish family, first as the Benderskys fleeing persecution in Russia and later as the Benders living and working as farmers and storekeepers on the Dakota prairie and, later still, in other locations and occupations. The book answers the question posed to Rebecca by a reporter: “Are you still Jewish?” In 2019 Still won the gold medal in the category of religion and philosophy from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association, and in 2020 it won first place in the internationally-competitive Independent Press Award in the category of Judaism. Rebecca Bender graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School and then practiced law in Minnesota as a securities litigator for 18 years before turning her attention to the research that went into her book Still. Her prose and poetry have appeared in a number of journals, including the Journal of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia, the North Dakota Quarterly, the Jewish Book Council’s Paper Brigade Daily, and The Forward
Function of Ech Hydrogenase in Ferredoxin-Dependent, Membrane-Bound Electron Transport in Methanosarcina mazei
No full textReduced ferredoxin is an intermediate in the methylotrophic and aceticlastic pathway of methanogenesis and donates electrons to membrane-integral proteins, which transfer electrons to the heterodisulfide reductase. A ferredoxin interaction has been observed previously for the Ech hydrogenase. Here we present a detailed analysis of a Methanosarcina mazei Delta ech mutant which shows decreased ferredoxin-dependent membrane-bound electron transport activity, a lower growth rate, and faster substrate consumption. Evidence is presented that a second protein whose identity is unknown oxidizes reduced ferredoxin, indicating an involvement in methanogenesis from methylated C-1 compounds.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [De488/9-1
