Tetrahydrobiopterin Metabolism in Mental Retardation
Optimal ‘conditions for the separation and detection of pteridines by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were obtained. The retention time, reproducibility relative fluorescence and minimal detection limits of various pterins under fixed conditions was noted. The stability of pterins …

Modification, curing and flame retardation of epoxy resin networks
Microwave processing, thermoplastic modification with reactive poly(arylene ether sulfone)s and improved flame retardance of di- and higher functionality epoxy resins were investigated. The influence of curing temperature and time on morphological development and fracture behavior was also studied. …

Role taking ability and social interaction competence in mental retardation and autism
Role taking ability has been examined in many ways including developmental studies with normal subjects and studies which demonstrated role taking deficits in a variety of special populations. Recent data suggest that individuals with autism also show such deficits when compared to nonautistic …
