Article Abstract
This study developed and assessed the psychometric properties of a questionnaire assessing Implicit Theories (ITs) of sexual offense (Polaschek & Ward, 2002; Ward & Keenan, 1999), named the Implicit Theories of Sexual Offense Questionnaire (ITSOQ). We used existing cognition questionnaires to create a potential item pool, and selected items based on item properties (e.g., mean, , range) from three male general population samples ( = 427) and three (sub)clinical population samples ( = 69), i.e., pedophilia-supportive forum users ( = 20), and sexual ( = 28) and violent ( = 21) forensic mental health system clients. A principal component analysis for the general population sample supported a four-component solution for the ITSOQ, including two victim-specific ITs (Factor 1: Children 14-16 years, Factor 2: Women), a sexual social desirability index (SSDI; Factor 3), and a component reflecting the antisocial uncontrollability IT (Factor 4). Analyses indicated measurement invariance, and higher scores for the (sub)clinical population were found for the antisocial uncontrollability and SSDI factors, with low to moderate effect sizes. Additionally, (small) associations between self-reported sexual interest in children and adults and the victim-specific child and women factors were found. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

In this study, we seek to deepen the understanding of the Fe effect in Ni-oxyhydroxide-mediated oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysis in alkaline conditions, where extremely small amounts of Fe can have a dramatic impact on catalytic performance. For this purpose, Density Functional Theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations with implicit solvation description is employed in a constant pH/potential simulation framework. Nanoparticle models are considered for the nickel-based oxyhydroxide material with different degrees of Fe incorporation, and the pH/U-dependent interface structure is studied.

This study introduces a novel computational approach based on ratchet-and-pawl molecular dynamics (rMD) for accurately estimating ligand dissociation kinetics in protein-ligand complexes. By integrating Kramers's theory with Bell's equation, our method systematically investigates the relationship between the effective biasing force applied during simulations and the ligand residence times. The proposed technique is demonstrated through extensive simulations of the benzamidine-trypsin complex, employing first an implicit solvent model (multi-eGO) to set up the approach parameters and then an explicit solvent model.

The autoloader is a key subsystem in modern main battle tanks, mainly responsible for ammunition transfer, loading, and resupply. However, it often suffers from uncertainties induced by base oscillations, leading to potential instability. While various control strategies have been proposed, most rely on prior knowledge of such oscillations.

Insights into the mysteries of dreaming and waking conscious experience can be gained by considering fundamental concepts in memory research. To support this assertion, we first provide an overview of the conscious/nonconscious distinction in memory research and then summarize the memory theory of consciousness (MToC). According to the MToC, the brain system responsible for explicit memory is also responsible for all our conscious experiences-perceptions, thoughts, memories, imaginings, and dreams.

: Understanding the stabilization mechanisms of amino acid conformations in different solvent environments is crucial for elucidating biomolecular interactions and crystallization processes. This study presents a comprehensive computational investigation of glycine, the simplest amino acid, in both its canonical and zwitterionic forms when interacting with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules. : Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level with empirical dispersion corrections, we examined the conformational landscape of glycine-DMSO clusters with one and two DMSO molecules, as well as implicit solvent calculations, and compared them with analogous water clusters.
