A preliminary study, comprising tests on air permeability and carbonation resistance of several concrete mixes and an analysis of its results, was carried out.
The cognitive battery comprising tests of spatial (mental rotation, computerized version of the Benton Judgment of Line Orientation) and verbal abilities (phonological and semantic fluency) was administered to men (n = 22) and women (n = 21) with schizophrenia and healthy controls (n = 21 men and 21 women).
