Addictive Behaviors

Research Hotspot & Journal Scope - alcohol

The ability of environmental cues to trigger alcohol-seeking behaviors is believed to facilitate problematic alcohol use.

Of those who reported consuming alcohol, 95% knew that they should have a friend or parent check their blood glucose in the middle of the night after drinking but only 62% reported actually doing this in practice.

Multiple-group structural equation modeling was used to test whether early alcohol use was equally related to alcohol problems (measured by the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test) at age 25 years and whether the relationship was moderated by family and school environments that were tolerant of youth drinking and by gender.

The amines (dimethylamine, trimethylamine, isobutylamine, 3-methylbutylamine, and 2-methylbutanamine), alcohols (2-ethylhexanol, 1-penten-3-ol and isoamyl alcohol, ethanol), aldehydes (2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, benzaldehyde), ketones (acetone, 2,3-butanedione, 2-butanone, acetoin), and dimethyl disulfide strongly statistically correlated with poorer quality tuna and mahi-mahi and were considered as the key spoilage indicators.

Different isopropyl alcohol-water mixtures were flushed through the channel over the IDC and sensed based on the measured reflection coefficient measurements of the interconnected IDC on quartz.
