HLA genetic diversity in Hungarians and Hungarian Gypsies: complementary differentiation patterns and demographic signals revealed by HLA‐A, ‐B and ‐DRB1 in Central Europe

D. Inotai, A. Szilvasi, S. Benko, A. Boros‐Major, more

HLA > 86 > 2 > 115 - 121

Systematic analyses of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) profiles in different populations may increase the efficiency of bone marrow donor selection and help reconstructing human peopling history. We typed HLA‐A, ‐B, and ‐DRB1 allele groups in two bone marrow donor cohorts of 2402 Hungarians and 186 Hungarian Gypsies and compared them with several Central‐European, Spanish Gypsy, and Indian populations...

Low occurrence of the HLA‐C04:09N* allele in a large Hungarian cohort

A. Bors, D. Inotai, H. Andrikovics, S. Benkő, more

HLA > 86 > 1 > 32 - 35

The presence of null alleles may affect the outcome of stem cell transplantation. HLA‐C*04:09N was defined as ‘common’ with a frequency of 2–5/1000 in Caucasians, and its presence is routinely tested as part of haplotypes HLA‐A*02:01/A*23:01‐B*44:03‐DRB1*07:01‐DQB1*02:01. We aimed to investigate HLA‐C*04:09N in a representative Hungarian cohort. HLA‐typing data of 7345 unrelated persons were analyzed...

Active Living by Design's Progress Reporting System

Philip A. Bors

American Journal of Preventive Medicine > 2012 > 43 > 5 Supplement 4 > S281-S289

The Active Living by Design (ALbD) National Program Office (NPO) developed an evaluation system to track progress of 25 community partnerships, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Between June 2004 and October 2008, partnerships documented their actions and accomplishments through ALbD's online Progress Reporting System (PRS) database. All entries were verified and analyzed by the...

Sex differences on the mental rotation test: An analysis of item types

Douglas A. Bors, François Vigneau

Learning and Individual Differences > 2011 > 21 > 1 > 129-132

Replicating a finding now common in the literature, the present study revealed a significant difference between the performance of men (M=19.66; SD=5.34; SK=0.52) and the performance of women (M=14.85; SD=6.06; SK=−0.38, Cohen's d=0.90) on the Mental Rotation Test (Vandenberg & Kuse, 1978). In an attempt to identify determinants of the observed sex differences, hypotheses related to MRT item types...

The quest for item types based on information processing: An analysis of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, with a consideration of gender differences

François Vigneau, Douglas A. Bors

Intelligence > 2008 > 36 > 6 > 702-710

Various taxonomies of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) items have been proposed in the literature to account for performance on the test. In the present article, three such taxonomies based on information processing, namely Carpenter, Just and Shell's [Carpenter, P.A., Just, M.A., & Shell, P., (1990). What one intelligence test measures: A theoretical account of the processing in the...

What is the enthalpy of formation of acrylic acid?

Rafael Notario, Maria Victoria Roux, Daniel A. Bors, Joel F. Liebman

Structural Chemistry > 2007 > 18 > 3 > 395-398

Acrylic acid is a key industrial compound with numerous uses. Despite its importance, its enthalpy of formation is still contentious—even ignoring “ancient” determinations, there is a 12 kJ mol⁻¹ range of values reported for the gas phase quantity, −320 to −332 kJ mol⁻¹. Our quantum chemical calculations using current methodology suggest the value of −321 ± 3 kJ mol⁻¹.

Eye-movement analysis demonstrates strategic influences on intelligence

François Vigneau, André F. Caissie, Douglas A. Bors

Intelligence > 2006 > 34 > 3 > 261-272

Taking into account various models and findings pertaining to the nature of analogical reasoning, this study explored quantitative and qualitative individual differences in intelligence using latency and eye-movement data. Fifty-five university students were administered 14 selected items of the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices test. Results showed that individuals differed in terms of speed,...

Measuring the need for cognition: Item polarity, dimensionality, and the relation with ability

Douglas A. Bors, François Vigneau, Francis Lalande

Personality and Individual Differences > 2006 > 40 > 4 > 819-828

With three data sets—one comprised of school children (n=272) and two comprised of university students (n=453, n=650)—the present study examined the factor structure of Cacioppo and Petty’s (1982) Need for Cognition Scale (NCS) and its relation to standardized measures of ability and academic performance. The results from testing five models (one-factor, two-factor, two-factor correlated, hierarchical,...

The effect of practice on Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices

Douglas A Bors, François Vigneau

Learning and Individual Differences > 2003 > 13 > 4 > 291-312

Sixty-seven participants (39 men and 28 women), ranging in age from 26 to 79 years, were administered Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) on three occasions. Although total APM scores were found to be highly reliable across the three occasions, the reliabilities of most individual items were extremely low. A single-factor model remained a borderline adequate fit (explaining approximately 20%...

Presenting two color words on a single Stroop trial: Evidence for joint influence, not capture

Colin M. Macleod, Douglas A. Bors

Memory & Cognition > 2002 > 30 > 5 > 789-797

MacLeod and Hodder (1998) demonstrated that presenting two different incongruent color words in the same color on a single Stroop trial resulted in no more interference than did presenting the same incongruent color word twice, and concluded that the first word captured attention, blocking out the second. They also showed that, within a trial, neither stimulus onset asynchrony between the two items...

The development of a same-different inspection time paradigm and the effects of practice

Tonya L. Stokes, Douglas A. Bors

Intelligence > 2001 > 29 > 3 > 247-261

Experiment 1 introduced a same-different letter discrimination task conducted with the inspection time (IT) procedure. The letter IT task was found to eliminate the use of systematic strategies, such as apparent movement and flash cues; in the past, such strategies have made the IT-IQ relation difficult to interpret. The IT-IQ relation was found to be as strong under the new task as that found under...

Equilibrium Acidities of Some Sulfones and Sulfoxides in Tetrahydrofuran[1]

Andrew Streitwieser, George Peng Wang, Daniel A Bors

Tetrahedron > 1997 > 53 > 29 > 10103- 10112

Ion pair acidities are reported in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution for the lithium and cesium salts of several sulfones and one sulfoxide. These salts are shown to be monomeric in the THF solutions studied. Thermodynamic constants are reported for several salts. The results and some conductivity studies show that both the lithium and cesium salts are contact ion pairs in THF. Because of ion association...

Age, speed of information processing, recall, and fluid intelligence

Douglas A. Bors, Bert Forrin

Intelligence > 1995 > 20 > 3 > 229-248

On three occasions, 63 adults, ranging in age from 26 to 80 years, all in good health, were tested with three speed of information-processing paradigms (the Sternberg, the Posner, and the Hick), two long-term free-recall tasks, and, as a measure of fluid intelligence, the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) test. Whereas within-condition latencies for the three of the information-processing...
