Personal relevance in story reading: a research review

Although personal relevance is key to sustaining an audience’s interest in any given narrative, it has received little systematic attention in scholarship to date. Across centuries and media, adaptations have been used extensively to bring temporally or geographically distant narratives “closer” to the recipient under the assumption that their impact will increase. In this review article, we review experimental and other empirical evidence on narrative processing in order to unravel which types of personal relevance are more likely to be impactful than others, which types of impact (e.g. aesthetic, therapeutic, persuasive) they have been found to generate, and where their power may become excessive or outright detrimental to reader experience

Neue amine-n-oxide compounds

The invention relates to amine-N-oxide compounds of formula (I) or (II):wherein R1 is selected from hydrocarbon radicals having 4 to 26 C atoms and optionally at least one O or s atom; R2, R3 and R5 each independently selected from hydrogen, R1- O-, R8 and in formula (I) also from -CH2- N+(O-)R6R6 wherein R8 represents a hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 26 C atoms and optionally at least one O or s atom; R4 is selected from hydrogen and R8 is selected; and the R6 are each independently selected from hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and optionally at least one n, O or s atom; wherein optionally two radicals R6 are connected to one another to form a nitrogen-containing ring or where, if desired, one or both radicals R.6 a grouping -N+(O-)R6R6 with one or both radicals R6 of such a grouping of another molecule of the formula (I) and are bonded to the structurewherein the dashed line represents an optional bond between the two R 'S6 and the asterisks indicate the bonds of the bridge to the two aromatic rings, form a Dimer according to formula (II); and a preparation process therefor and their use as surfactants
