Emotions are linked to wide sets of action tendencies, and it can be difficult to predict which specific action tendency will be motivated or indulged in response to individual experiences of emotion. Building on a functional ...
“What Was Meant to Be” Versus “What Might Have Been”: Effects of Culture and Control on Counterfactual Thinking
(American Psychological Association, 2021)
Counterfactual thinking is a ubiquitous feature of daily life with links to causal reasoning. Therefore, we argue that cultures that vary in perceptions of what controls important life outcomes may also vary in counterfactual ...
On phi-Dedekind rings and phi-Krull rings
(University of Houston, 2005)
The purpose of this paper is to introduce two new classes of rings that are closely related to the classes of Dedekind domains and Krull domains. Let H = {R | R is a commutative ring with 1 and Nil(R) is a divided prime ...
Efficient Immobilization of a Cadmium Chemosensor in a Thin Film: Generation of a Cadmium Sensor Prototype
(American Chemical Society, 2005)
The development of an ion-selective chemosensor for Cd2+ allows generation of a “real-time” sensor. Immobilization of the chemosensor on quartz was achieved in a simple monolayer and in a thin film using a polymer intermediary. ...

Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)
Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ...
Application of Quasi-Phase Matching Concept for Enhancement of High-Order Harmonics of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Plasmas
(MDPI, 2019)
Novel methods of coherent short-wavelength sources generation require thorough analysis for their further amendments and practical implementations. In this work, we report on the quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order ...
Novel Azoles as Antiparasitic Remedies against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(MDPI, 2020)
Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are opportunistic protozoan pathogens capable of producing infection of the central nervous system with more than 95% mortality rate. Previously, we have synthesized several ...
