Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on flame retardation as well as thermal stabilization efficiency of two phosphorus-containing flame retardant systems i.e., ammonium polyphosphate/pentaerythritol (APP/PER) and red phosphorus (RP) in polypropylene (PP) have been investigated.
Those with mental retardation, as well as the mentally ill and juveniles, are especially vulnerable to the vagaries of our nation's death-penalty system, including false confessions and the inability to participate in one's own defense.
Caused by the deletion of genes on chromosome 7, Williams syndrome often leads to mild to moderate mental and growth retardation as well as an intense sociability and lack of social fear, especially of strangers.
All CEDNIK patients examined so far exhibit severe psychomotor retardation as well as generalized ichthyosis (scaling).
Patients with ATRX syndrome exhibit severe mental retardation as well as alpha-thalassemia [ 9].
In addition, SAFB1 –/– mice display severe growth retardation, as well as deficits in reproductive function.
That study focused on the embryonic period and revealed embryonic growth retardation as well as alterations in brain structure just prior to parturition.
Knock-outs of the two other genes investigated in this study, showing no growth retardation as well as no reduction in isoprene emission, behaved in accordance with expectation.
SirT1-deficient mice display characteristic phenotypes of perinatal death and growth retardation as well as other diverse phenotypes, such as eye defects, with varying severity [ 22, 23].
Although to a lesser extent, compared with ZR75.1 cells, growth retardation, as well as apoptosis induction as a consequence of enhanced caspase-3 and caspase-8 activity were also observed in mutant-p53 MDA-MB-231 cells.
Patients were excluded from the study if they had a history of co-morbid pervasive developmental disorders or mental retardation, as well as those who had a history of bipolar disorder, psychosis, epilepsy, or brain injury.
