Thermal Decomposition Mechanism for Ethanethiol.

The thermal decomposition of ethanethiol was studied using a 1 mm × 2 cm pulsed silicon carbide microtubular reactor, CHCHSH + Δ → Products. Unlike previous studies these experiments were able to identify the initial ethanethiol decomposition products. Ethanethiol was entrained in either an Ar or a He carrier gas, passed through a heated (300-1700 K) SiC microtubular reactor (roughly ≤100 μs residence time) and exited into a vacuum chamber.

Help yourself: perspectives on self-management from people with dementia and their caregivers.

Self-management interventions are increasingly offered to people with chronic health conditions. However, there has been limited exploration of how applicable such an approach is in early stage dementia. In this study we explored the views of people with dementia and family caregivers on the use of self-management in dementia.
