Phenomenal characteristics of co‐created guided imagery and autobiographical memories
Authors: Kealy Kinda L. K. , Arbuthnott Katherine D. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractConcern has recently been raised about the potential for guided images to be mistaken for memories of actual events. According to the reality‐monitoring framework, such misattributions can occur due to the similarity of sensory and reflective memory characteristics acquired at encoding, or due to source judgement processes at retrieval. A study was conducted to examine the similarity of guided images and perceived memories at imagery encoding, and after a short delay. Participants rated the characteristics of an actual event, a natural imagery event (e.g. a fantasy), and a guided imagery experience, immediately and after a one‐week interval. For each condition, participants discussed their memory or guided imagery experience with the researcher as they reviewed or created it. Ratings indicated that guided imagery was similar to perceived memory with respect to sensory characteristics. However, the factors associated with supporting memories (contextual and temporal detail, setting familiarity, and recollection of surrounding events) were less vivid for guided imagery than for perceived events. In all cases, these patterns were stable over time. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Absorption and hallucinatory experience
Authors: Glicksohn Joseph , Barrett Terry R. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate whether the personality trait of Absorption is a predisposing factor for hallucinatory experience. Our participants completed a number of questionnaires, assessing absorption, hallucinatory experiences, subjective experiences along the sleep–wakefulness continuum, paranormal experiences and belief, and dissociation. Our findings are indicative of a common, pseudo‐hallucinatory experiential base, suggesting that absorption can indeed serve as the predisposing factor for hallucinatory experience. In our discussion, we look at the implications of this finding for applied cognitive psychology, focusing on the study of false memories and reality monitoring, and on the study of probability judgement and paranormal belief.

Behavioral and endocrine dynamics associated with infanticide in a black and white colobus monkey (Colobus guereza)
Authors: Harris Tara R. , Monfort Steven L. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractInfanticide has been observed in several colobines, but only one infanticide has previously been documented for black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza). This report describes an infanticide observed in Kibale National Park, Uganda, in the summer of 2001. An adult male from a neighboring group attacked and killed a young infant whose mother subsequently remained in her own group and was observed mating 10 days later. She engaged in two mating periods of several days each, separated by approximately 1 month, during which she copulated frequently with the dominant male within her group. Urinary estrogen (EC) and progesterone metabolite (PdG) excretion patterns demonstrated that the female resumed ovarian cycling soon after the infanticide. Because the infanticidal male did not attempt to mate with the victim's mother, his actions were not consistent with the predictions of the sexual‐selection hypothesis. We speculate that infanticide associated with intergroup aggression may help secure access to high‐quality resources for the infanticidal male's group. Am. J.

Steam absorption into aqueous lithium bromide solution films falling inside vertical pipes
Authors: Kiyota Masanori , Morioka Itsuki , Matsuyama Tomohiro 
Published: November 2003

AbstractThe realization of a compact and efficient air‐cooled absorber is the key technology for the small‐capacity absorption refrigerator for domestic use. A vertical pipe with absorbent flowing inside and air flowing outside is the best choice for the air‐cooled absorber due to the easy addition of fins to enhance heat transfer on the air side. In this paper, first, the modeling of the absorption process in the vertical pipe for a constant heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface is described. Then, experimental results are presented for pipes of inner diameters 8 to 26 mm, pressure 5 and 6 mm Hg, and outer surface heat transfer coefficient 2000 and 3300W/(m2·K). It was found that for pipes of diameter 13 mm or more, the absorption process is well estimated by the proposed model. The absorption with addition of surfactant is estimated by the pseudo‐turbulent method. The necessary heat transfer area for the air‐cooled condition is about three times that for the water‐cooled condition. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetic and thermodynamic study of thiolato and sulfenato Co(III) complexes in water–acetonitrile mixtures
Authors: Aranyosiová Monika , Benko Ján , Vollárová Ol'Ga 
Published: November 2003

AbstractRate constants are reported for peroxodisulfate as well as periodate oxidation of[Co(en)2{SCH2CH(COO)NH2}]+, [Co(en)2(SCH2CH2NH2)]2+, and [Co(en)2(SOCH2CH2NH2)]2+ in water–acetonitrile mixtures. The dependence of rate constants on the acetonitrile concentration is established and discussed. Ancillary information relevant to solvation of reactants has been obtained from solvatochromism and from Gibbs transfer functions. The solvent effect is discussed from the viewpoint of change in solvation of initial and transition state on going from water to water–acetonitrile mixtures. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetics of phenyl radical reactions with propane, n‐butane, n‐hexane, and n‐octane: Reactivity of C6H5 toward the secondary CH bond of alkanes
Authors: Park J. , Wang Liming , Lin M. C. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractThe kinetics of C6H5 reactions with n‐CnH2n+2 (n = 3, 4, 6, 8) have been studied by the pulsed laser photolysis/mass spectrometric method using C6H5COCH3 as the phenyl precursor at temperatures between 494 and 1051 K. The rate constants were determined by kinetic modeling of the absolute yields of C6H6 at each temperature. Another major product C6H5CH3 formed by the recombination of C6H5 and CH3 could also be quantitatively modeled using the known rate constant for the reaction. A weighted least‐squares analysis of the four sets of data gave k (C3H8) = (1.96 ± 0.15) × 1011 exp[−(1938 ± 56)/T], and k (n‐C4H10) = (2.65 ± 0.23) × 1011 exp[−(1950 ± 55)/T] k (n‐C6H14) = (4.56 ± 0.21) × 1011 exp[−(1735 ± 55)/T], and k (n−C8H18) = (4.31 ± 0.39) × 1011 exp[−(1415 ± 65)T] cm3 mol−1 s−1 for the temperature range studied. For the butane and hexane reactions, we have also applied the CRDS technique to extend our temperature range down to 297 K; the results obtained by the decay of C6H5 with CRDS agree fully with those determined by absolute product yield measurements with PLP/MS. Weighted least‐squares analyses of these two sets of data gave rise to k (n−C4H10) = (2.70 ± 0.15) × 1011 exp[−(1880 ± 127)/T] and k (n−C6H14) = (4.81 ± 0.30) × 1011 exp[−(1780 ± 133)/T] cm3 mol−1 s−1 for the temperature range 297‐‐1046 K. From the absolute rate constants for the two larger molecular reactions (C6H5 + n‐C6H14 and n‐C8H18), we derived the rate constant for H‐abstraction from a secondary CH bond, ks−CH = (4.19 ± 0.24) × 1010 exp[−(1770 ± 48)/T] cm3 mol−1 s−1. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NANOVIBR: Parallel codes for semiempirical quantum chemical and harmonic vibration large‐scale calculations
Authors: Berzigiyarov Parvaz K. , Zayets Valentine A. , Ginzburg Ilya Y. , Razumov Vladimir F. , Sheka Elena F. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractPackage NANOVIBR is a further development of the NANOPACK software (Int J Quantum Chem 2002, 88, 449) and is dedicated to both semiempirical quantum chemical (QCh) calculations of nano‐sized systems and harmonic vibrational problem solution for several hundred atom systems, with a particular stress on the latter. Sequential codes CLUSTER‐Z1 and CLUSTER‐Z2 form the ground of the package and provide extended QCh calculations of structural and electronic characteristics in the sp‐ and spd‐basis, as well as of force fields, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared, and Raman spectra intensities. The combination of fine‐grained (self‐consistent field calculation) and coarse‐grained (Hessian and spectra intensities) regimes of the parallel codes implementation results in a considerable enhancement of the calculation speed‐up. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: November 2003

AbstractComputations of (6, 0), (8, 0), (6, 6), (7, 7), and (8, 8) single‐wall carbon nanotubes fluorination processes have been carried out within the framework of molecular cluster model and semiempirical quantum chemical MNDO scheme. The adsorption energy of fluorine atom as a function of distance from the surface carbon has been constructed. Chemical stable and van der Waals metastable stations of an F atom on nanotube surfaces have been found. The adsorption process of two fluorine atoms on adjacent surface carbons has been studied. It has been found that the second fluorine atom is adsorbing without van der Waals metastable station. The probability of the processes has been estimated in quasiclassic approaching. The greatest possible concentration ratio F/C of almost all investigated nanotubes have been obtained equal to 1 besides (8, 8) nanotube, for which the ratio is 0.75. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Does business planning facilitate the development of new ventures?
Authors: Delmar Frédéric , Shane Scott 
Published: November 2003

AbstractMany prior researchers have criticized business planning, arguing that it interferes with the efforts of firm founders to undertake more valuable actions to develop their fledgling enterprises. In this paper, we challenge this negative view of business planning, arguing that business planning is an important precursor to action in new ventures. By helping firm founders to make decisions, to balance resource supply and demand, and to turn abstract goals into concrete operational steps, business planning reduces the likelihood of venture disbanding and accelerates product development and venture organizing activity. Empirically, we examine 223 new ventures initiated in the first 9 months of 1998 by a random sample of Swedish firm founders and provide support for our hypotheses.

Organizational slack and firm performance during economic transitions: two studies from an emerging economy
Authors: Tan Justin , Peng Mike W. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractAn Erratum has been published for this article in Strategic Management Journal 25(3) 2004, 307.
How does organizational slack affect firm performance? Organization theory posits that slack, despite its costs, has a positive impact on firm performance. In contrast, agency theory suggests that slack breeds inefficiency and inhibits performance. The empirical evidence, largely from developed economies, has been inconclusive. Moreover, little effort has been made to empirically test whether such an impact (positive or negative) is linear or curvilinear. This article joins the debate by extending empirical work to the largely unexplored context of economic transitions. Specifically, two studies, based on survey and archival data (N = 57 and 1532 firms, respectively), are undertaken in China's emerging economy. Our results suggest (1) that organization theory generates stronger predictions when dealing with unabsorbed slack, and (2) that agency theory yields stronger validity when focusing on absorbed slack. Furthermore, we also find that the impact of slack on performance is curvilinear, which resembles inverse U‐shaped curves. Overall, our findings call for a contingency perspective to specify the nature of slack when discussing its impact on firm performance. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Alliance form: a test of the contractual and competence perspectives
Authors: Colombo Massimo G. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractThis paper analyzes factors that influence firms' choice of the organizational form of strategic alliances. I consider arguments suggested by both the contractual and the competence perspectives. In order to distinguish empirically between them, I devote special attention to the role played by the similarity of partner firms' technological specialization. In the empirical section I consider a sample composed of 271 equity joint ventures, non‐equity bilateral and unilateral agreements established between each other in the period 1983–86 by 67 North American, European, and Japanese enterprises from the world's largest firms in information technology industries. I examine the effects on the choice of alliance form of a measure of firms' technological proximity based on patents count, while controlling for other variables that are usually considered in the empirical literature. The estimates of binomial and multinomial logit models support the competence‐based argument that in technological alliances divergence in partners' technological specialization results in a higher propensity to use equity forms. Overall, the findings suggest that both the contractual and competence perspectives provide valuable complementary insights into the determinants of alliance form.

Geographic scope and multinational enterprise performance
Authors: Goerzen Anthony , Beamish Paul W. 
Published: November 2003

AbstractThrough an internalization theory lens, an argument is developed to suggest that the traditional concept of geographic scope should be split into two related, but more precise, elements of international asset dispersion and country environment diversity. Subsequently, these new concepts are tested using a structural equation modeling approach on a sample of 580 large multinational enterprises (MNEs). We find that the relationship between economic performance and international asset dispersion is positive, but that country environment diversity is negatively associated with performance, with a positive interaction between them. This study adds to our theoretical understanding of MNEs, and also provides a bridge between the mixed findings of prior research on multinationality by disentangling the unique effects of the latent subcomponents of geographic scope on firm performance.

Possible Protective Effect of Kolaviron on CCl4-Induced Erythrocyte Damage in Rats
Authors: Adaramoye Oluwatosin A. , Akinloye Oluyemi 
Published: November 2003

The possible protective effect of kolaviron on rat erythrocytes followingsimultaneous administration of kolaviron (100 mg/kg of body weight/day) withcarbon tetrachloride CCl4 (1.195 g/kg of body weight/day) by separateintraperitoneal injections was investigated.
Kolaviron, a biflavonoid fraction of the defatted alcoholic extract of Garcinia kola seed, inhibits the accumulation of lipid peroxidationproducts in erythrocytes. A significant reduction (p&gt;0.05) by about34% of lipid peroxidation products was observed in erythrocytes of ratstreated simultaneously with CCl4 and kolaviron when compared to CCl4-treatedrats. Similarly, the significant increase (p &gt;0.05) in membranecholesterol observed in CCl4-treated rats was significantly decreased(p&gt;0.05) in rats treated simultaneously with CCl4 andkolaviron. Therefore, there was no significant difference (p &gt;0.05) incholesterol–phospholipid ratio (C/P) of rats treated simultaneouslywith CCl4 and kolaviron, and the controls. Thus, kolaviron normalizes the CCl4-induced change in erythrocyte membrane composition.
In addition, kolaviron antagonizes the effect of CCl4 on the activity ofthe membrane bound enzyme, Ca2+-ATPase. These results suggest thatkolaviron protects erythrocyte membranes from free radical attack, on bothlipids and proteins.

AbstractTyrosine hydroxylase (TH) deficiency is generally considered as a cause of the autosomal recessive form of dopa‐responsive dystonia, also known as Segawa disease. Clinical hallmarks comprise parkinsonian and other extrapyramidal symptoms. Biochemically the defect leads to the defective synthesis of catecholamines, in particular dopamine. The diagnosis relies on a characteristic pattern of biogenic amine metabolites exclusively in the CSF and can be confirmed by establishing a mutation in the TH gene. Here we present a patient meeting all diagnostic criteria, including a new homozygous mutation (926T>C) with confirmed parental heterozygosity, extrapyramidal symptoms, but atypical other symptoms with periodic neurological episodes observed every 4 days and unresponsive to dopa treatment. The CSF biochemical abnormalities were severe. Uncharacteristically, a strongly abnormal urinary catecholamine metabolite pattern was also consistently observed. The atypical presentation of this patient shows that the clinical and metabolic phenotype of TH deficiency is more variable than formerly thought, and that the condition should no longer be considered as a treatable disorder per se.
Late Quaternary sedimentation on the Leidy Creek fan, Nevada–California: geomorphic responses to climate change

Published: November 2003

Well‐dated surface and subsurface deposits in semiarid Fish Lake Valley, Nevada and California, demonstrate that alluvial‐fan deposition is strongly associated with the warm dry climate of the last two interglacial intervals, and that fans were stable and (or) incised during the last glaciation. Fan deposition was probably triggered by a change from relatively moist to arid conditions causing a decrease in vegetation cover and increases in flash floods and sediment yield. We think that this scenario applies to most of the other valleys in the southern Basin and Range.Radiocarbon, tephra, and a few thermoluminescence and cosmogenic ages from outcrops throughout Fish Lake Valley and from cores on the Leidy Creek fan yield ages of >100–50 ka and 11–0 ka for the last two periods of alluvial‐fan deposition. Mapping, coring and shallow seismic profiling indicate that these periods were synchronous throughout the valley and on the proximal and distal parts of the fans. From 50 to 11 ka, fan deposition ceased, a soil formed on the older alluvium and the axial drainage became active as runoff and stream competence increased. Slow deposition due to sheet flow or aeolian processes locally continued during this interval, producing cumulic soil profiles. The soil was buried by debris‐flow sediment beginning at about 11 ka, coincident with the onset of relatively dry and warm conditions in the region. However, ground‐water discharge maintained a large freshwater marsh on the valley floor throughout the Holocene. Pulses of deposition during the Holocene are recorded in the marsh and fan deposits; some pulses coincided with periods of or transitions to warm, dry climate indicated by proxy climate records, whereas others may reflect local disturbances associated with volcanism and fires. Within the marsh deposits, much of the clastic material is probably desert loess. In addition, the deposition of coppice dunes within the fan deposits coincides with two dry periods during the late Holocene.
Late‐ to post‐orogenic basins of the Pan‐African – Brasiliano collision orogen in southern Africa and southern Brazil

Published: November 2003

Late‐ to post‐orogenic basins formed on both sides of the Pan‐African – Brasiliano orogen when the Congo and Kalahari Cratons collided with the Rio de la Plata Craton during the formation of western Gondwana. Trace fossil evidence and radiometric age dating indicate that deposits on both sides are coeval and span the Cambrian–Precambrian boundary.A peripheral foreland basin, the Nama Basin, developed on the subducting southern African plate. Lower, craton‐derived fluviomarine clastics are overlain by marine platform carbonates and deltaic flysch derived in part from the rising subduction complex along the northern (Damara Belt) and western (Gariep Belt) orogenic margins. Rare, thin volcanic ash layers (tuffs and cherts) are present. Upper sediments consist of unconformable red molasse related to collisional orogenesis. Orogenic loading from the north and west led to crustal flexure and the formation of a remnant ocean that drained to the south and closed progressively from north to south. During final collision SE‐, E‐ and NE‐verging nappes overrode the active basin margins. Although younger than most of the post‐orogenic magmatism, its setting on the cratonic edge of the subducting plate precluded marked volcanism or granitic intrusion, the only exception being the youngest intrusions of the Kuboos‐Bremen Suite dated at 521±6 Ma to 491±8 Ma.Two foreland‐type basins, perhaps faulted remnants of a much larger NE–SW elongated retroarc foreland basin, are found west of the Dom Feliciano Belt on the edge of the Rio de la Plata Craton in southern Brazil. In the southern Camaqua Basin, basal fluvial deposits are followed by cyclical marine and coarsening‐up deltaic deposits with a notable volcanic and volcaniclastic component. This lower deformed succession, comprising mainly red beds, contain stratabound Cu and Pb–Zn deposits and is overlain unconformably by a fluviodeltaic to aeolian succession of sandstones and conglomerates (with minor andesitic volcanics), derived primarily from an eastern orogenic source and showing southerly longitudinal transport. In the northern Itajaí Basin, sediments range from basal fluvial and platform sediments to fining‐up submarine fan and turbidite deposits with intercalated acid tuffs. The Brazilian basins had faulted margins off which alluvial fans were shed. They also overlie parts of the Ribeira Belt. Thrust deformation along the orogenic margin bordering the Dom Feliciano Belt was directed westward in the Camaqua and Itajaí basins, but reactivated strike‐slip and normal faults are also present. Late‐ to post‐orogenic granitoids and volcanics of the Dom Feliciano Belt, ranging in age from 568±6 Ma to 529±4 Ma, occur in the foreland basins and are geochemically related to some of the synsedimentary volcanics.
