Normative Data for the Poreh Naming Test

The present study describes the development of a novel confrontational naming test for the assessment of word finding and language abilities, and also serves as a tool for the assessment of effort. The test is comprised of two portions. The first portion consists of 40 colored drawings of day to day objects and is aimed at assessing verbal abilities, particularly word finding deficits. The second portion also involves the presentation of 40 colored drawings, each drawing comprised of the original object that was previously presented and two distractors, objects that were not previously presented. The present study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of this new measure in addition to providing preliminary normative data, and analyze the relationship between test performance and variables that have been shown to influence naming ability. The study shows that the new test might be useful for assessing both language abilities and effort

The application of strongly oxidizing agents in flow injection analysis : Part 4. Manganese(VI) and Copper(III)

The application of manganese(VI) and copper(III) in strongly alkaline solutions as strong oxidizing reagents in flow injection analysis is described. Both reagents were prepared under batch conditions and fed to the flow from a stock solution. The reactions of most analytes tested with manganese(VI) required the use of a heated (65° C) reaction coil. The main application appears to be for the determination of monosaccharides in the 10−4–10−5 mol l−1 range
