✦ Synopsis

Fifty-seven students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were treated with 5 and 15 mg of methylphenidate (MPH) twice a day, and ratings of their behavior were compared to placebo on the School Situations Questionnaire (SSQ). SSQ ratings improved with MPH treatment in all situations related to task performance (i.e., arriving at school, during individual seat work, small group activities, and lectures) but less so in non-task or unstructured situations. Many change scores were large enough to be clinically meaningful. Use of SSQ by school psychologists was discussed as a means of efficiently providing contextual information not available from ADHD dimensional rating scales.

The ethanol-inhibitory behaviour of the yeast Sacchammyces cerevi&ze S c 5 was found to be characterized by a continual-linear relation between the specific ethanol formation rate and the ethanol concentration. Therefore the simple equation v = v,,a. P could be applied for it. It is shown that this
