Association of Polymorphisms of Serotonin Transporter (5HTTLPR) and 5-HT2C Receptor Genes with Criminal Behavior in Russian Criminal Offenders

Background: Human aggression is a heterogeneous behavior with biological, psychological, and social backgrounds. As the biological mechanisms that regulate aggression are components of both reward-seeking and adversity-fleeing behavior, these phenomena are difficult to disentangle into separate neurochemical processes. Nevertheless, evidence exists linking some forms of ag

Electronic structure of CuV2S4

The results of ab initio band-structure calculations and measurements of x-ray-emission valence spectra (XES) (Cu Lα, V Kβ5, V Lα, S Kβ1,3, S L2,3) and X-ray-photoelectron valence-band and core-level spectra (XPS) of CuV2S4 thiospinel are presented. It is found that a peak in valence-conduction bands close to the Fermi level is formed by V 3d states, which provide the metallic properties of CuV2S4. The valence band is formed by Cu 3d, V 3d, V 4p, and S 3p states. Examination of the XES and XPS results and the calculated charge-density maps and densities of states indicates that the valences of both Cu and V are similar to those of their elemental solids. Calculations show a strong electron-phonon coupling in CuV2S4 and the prospect of superconducting behavior has not been confirmed

Fragmentation and Multifragmentation of 10.6A GeV Gold Nuclei

We present the results of a study performed on the interactions of 10.6A GeV gold nuclei in nuclear emulsions. In a minimum bias sample of 1311 interac- tions, 5260 helium nuclei and 2622 heavy fragments were observed as Au projec- tile fragments. The experimental data are analyzed with particular emphasis of target separation interactions in emulsions and study of criticalexponents. Multiplicity distributions of the fast-moving projectile fragments are inves- tigated. Charged fragment moments, conditional moments as well as two and three -body asymmetries of the fast moving projectile particles are determined in terms of the total charge remaining bound in the multiply charged projectile fragments. Some differences in the average yields of helium nuclei and heavier fragments are observed, which may be attributed to a target effect. However, two and three-body asymmetries and conditional moments indicate that the breakup mechanism of the projectile seems to be independent of target mass. We looked for evidence of critical point observable in finite nuclei by study the resulting charged fragments distributions. We have obtained the values for the critical exponents gamma, beta and tau and compare our results with those at lower energy experiment (1.0A GeV data). The values suggest that a phase transition like behavior, is observed.Comment: latex, revtex, 28 pages, 12 figures, 3tables, submitted to Europysics Journal

Russian prefixal posture verbs as a means of spatial thinking verbalization

The semantics of Russian posture verbs has been studied. The analysis covers derivative words formed on the basis of the prefixes v- (в- 'in'), na- (на- 'on'), pod- (под- 'under'), nad- (над- 'above'), pred- (пред- 'in front of'), za- (за- 'behind') and verbs of position in space, such as lezhat' (лежать 'lie'), sidet' (сидеть 'sit'), stoyat' (стоять 'stand'), viset' (висеть 'hang'). Appealing to these lexical items within the frame of compound semantics is determined by the following fact: they are indicative of the features of human spatial perception that developed in high antiquity. Based on the results of the analysis, five groups of derivative words have been distinguished. The first group includes prefixal verbs which save posture and spatial semantics. But all of them are archaisms now. Posture verbs that denote the end of action belong to the second group. Other derivative words often expand their meaning through neutralization of the seme that implies the posture. Existential verbs with modal component form the third group. Verbs of speech and social activity constitute the fourth group. Finally, posture verbs with complicated additional semes are included the sixth group. At the same time, the verbal postural semantics and prefixal spatial semantics can be restored even in figurative meanings. It has been concluded that the prefixes of posture verbs in the modern Russian language lost their spatial meaning, which used to be inherent. This is due to the development of bounded prefixal meaning that failed to comply with the stative semantics of the posture verb
