Association of mindfulness to resilience, anxiety, and depressive symptoms after spinal cord injury-a correlational study.

Study Design: Online survey of individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI).

Objective: This pilot study examined associations between mindfulness factors, resilience, and levels of depression and anxiety after SCI.

Setting: Community-based; United States.

Wool-waste as organic nutrient source for container-grown plants.

A container experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that uncomposted wool wastes could be used as nutrient source and growth medium constituent for container-grown plants. The treatments were: (1) rate of wool-waste application (0 or unamended control, 20, 40, 80, and 120 g of wool per 8-in. pot), (2) growth medium constituents [(2.

Mechanistic analysis of the photocycloaddition of silyl-tethered alkenes.

The photochemistry of substituted cinnamyloxy silanes has been examined in both cyclohexane and acetonitrile solvents. Alkene isomerization occurs in addition to cycloaddition. Fluorescence quantum yields and excited singlet state lifetimes have been determined for each compound.

Methoxy-substituted stilbenes, styrenes, and 1-arylpropenes: photophysical properties and photoadditions of alcohols.

The photochemistry of trans-stilbene and four methoxy-substituted stilbene derivatives has been investigated in a variety of solvents. The fluorescence of all five trans isomers was quenched by 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). Upon irradiation of the five substrates in TFE, the products derived from photoaddition of the solvent were detected.
