A kinetic study of the reactions of atomic bromine with the trimethylbenzenes.

This work presents the results of kinetic measurements for the reactions of atomic bromine with the three isomers of trimethylbenzene at temperatures from 295 K to 354 K and at pressures close to atmospheric. The atomic bromine was produced by photolysis of Br in a thermostated Pyrex chamber as described in our previous work. The reactants were present as dilute mixtures in argon with Br in sufficient excess to scavenge the free radical products of the initiation step.

The potential of ketamine for posttraumatic stress disorder: a review of clinical evidence.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a devastating condition, for which there are few pharmacological agents, often with a delayed onset of action and poor efficacy. Trauma-focused psychotherapies are further limited by few trained providers and low patient engagement. This frequently results in disease chronicity as well as psychiatric and medical comorbidity, with considerable negative impact on quality of life.

Reduced critical slowing down for statistical physics simulations.

Wang-Landau simulations offer the possibility to integrate explicitly over a collective coordinate and stochastically over the remainder of configuration space. We propose to choose the so-called "slow mode," which is responsible for large autocorrelation times and thus critical slowing down, for collective integration. We study this proposal for the Ising model and the linear-log-relaxation (LLR) method as simulation algorithm.

Maladaptive therapist schemas in CBT practice, training and supervision: A scoping review.

Background: Maladaptive therapist schemas are hypothesized to generate difficulties within cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) practice, training and supervision. Without adequate identification and management, they negatively affect the cognitions and emotions of the therapist, leading them to behave in ways that risk ruptures or therapy and supervision being delivered in a suboptimal fashion. Consequently, there is a need to synthesize the research that has been undertaken to date on the content, prevalence, identification and management of maladaptive therapist schemas.
