Characterization of anxiolytic drugs often employs conflict paradigms in which the drug effects on punished and unpunished responding can be compared. In this study, a fixed interval schedule generating a range of baseline response rates allowed comparison of the effects of anxiolytic drugs with those of psychotomimeti... |
A framework to support performance requirements for real-time applications in packet-switched networks is proposed. This framework is based on a network-level abstraction called alpha -channel. An alpha channel represents a simplex end-to-end communication channel characterized by a set of application-specific real-tim... |
OBJECTIVE |
This study tested the hypothesis that women with anorexia nervosa (AN) have an inappropriately fatter body image in the left cerebral hemisphere (LH) than in the right cerebral hemisphere (RH). |
METHOD |
Women with AN symptomatology were compared with thin controls in a divided visual field experiment. Distorted and undistorted pictures of their own and someone else's body were flashed briefly in the left and right visual fields. Participants judged the pictures as thinner than, equal to, or fatter than the actual body... |
RESULTS |
The AN participants judged a higher proportion of fatter distortions as equal to their own size. They responded faster when stimuli were presented initially to the LH than when they were presented initially to the RH. In contrast, fewer thinner distortions were judged as equal to their own body size, and were judged mo... |
DISCUSSION |
The brain lateralization paradigm may prove useful in understanding body image disturbance in AN patients.Peer-Mediated AAC Instruction for Young Children with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities. |
Many young children with developmental disabilities (DD) have significant delays in social, communication, and play skills. For those children learning to use augmentative and alternative communication (.AAC% successful social interactions with peers will require explicit instruction on the same system for both communi... |
OBJECTIVE |
The purpose of this investigation was to quantitatively assess abnormally low attenuation of the lung by use of three-dimensional volumetric reconstructions from routine helical CT and to assess their correlation with pulmonary function tests. |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
Helical CT was performed in 100 patients in full inspiration. Examination was also performed in full expiration in 53 of these patients. Three-dimensional volumetric reconstructions were performed for total lung volumes at inspiration and at expiration, with a threshold of -896 H on inspiratory CT and -790 H on expirat... |
RESULTS |
CT volumetric assessments of abnormally low attenuation of the lung at inspiration and expiration had a high correlation (r2 = .84, p < or = .0001). In comparison with pulmonary function tests, both inspiratory low attenuation of the lung and expiratory low attenuation of the lung correlated well with the logarithm of ... |
CONCLUSION |
Three-dimensional volumetric reconstructions of hypoattenuating lung correlate well with pulmonary function tests. In addition, inspiratory and expiratory data are also correlative, suggesting that a dedicated expiratory examination is not needed. This easily obtainable information will prove useful for patients with o... |
Cyber-physical systems connect the physical world and the information world by sensors and actuators. These sensors are usually small embedded systems which have many limitations on wireless communication, computing and storage. This paper proposes a lightweight coding method for secure and reliable transmission over a... |

Abstract The approach of this research is to demonstrate that cooperation among business networks brings the opportunity to handle risks and events much more effectively and efficiently than an individual organization. This research has attempted to investigate the potential risks and events and to handle them effectiv... |
Since the early 2000s, an increasing number of female religious officers have been employed by the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) and regularly sent to European countries. Tasked with providing religious knowledge and moral support to women, their engagement epitomises Diyanet’s contribution to the AKP gover... |
NKT cells are potent regulatory T cells that prevent the development of several autoimmune diseases. Analysis of NKT cell regulatory function in the NOD mouse has revealed that NKT cells inhibit the development of type 1 diabetes by impairing the differentiation of anti-islet T cells into Th1 effector cells. In the pre... |
The current study extends the psychometric support for the Child Sheehan Disability Scale (CSDS) as a measure of impairment associated with childhood anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder.

Extinct giant sthenurine kangaroos possessed scapulae morphologically distinct from those of all other extant and extinct adult macropodids, but qualitatively resembling those of newborn macropodids. The similarity between adult sthenurine and neonatal macropodid scapulae suggests that a developmental process, such as ... |
This report describes a study done as a masters thesis during 1998 |
within the Complex Operations Laboratory (COL) at SICS. |
The report describes a vehicle routing and scheduling problem occurring |
in the planning of rail traffic at the Swedish State Railways (SJ). |
The report contains a comprehensive description of the problem and |
describes several techniques that can be used to address the problem: |
Constraint Programming with a particular model (due to Helmut Simonis) |
of the routing problem. This model requires an efficient implementation |
of a particular called global constraint: the geometric diffn constraint. |
A propagation algorithm for a 2-dimensional version of this constraint |
is outlined in the report. |
The use of insertion heuristics to solve this class of problems have |
been in general use for some time. And adaption and evaluation of |
some of these heuristics are also analyzed in the report.Segmented mirror coarse phasing with white light interferometry: modeling and experimenting on NGST's Wavefront Control Testbed |
A method of coarse phasing segmented mirrors using white light interferometry (WLI) has been developed for the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) wavefront sensing and control. Using the broadband point PSF of the segmented mirrors taken during a segment piston scan, the WLI can accurately detect small residual pis... |
Fatherhood has traditionally been viewed as part of a “package deal” in which a father’s relationship with his child is contingent on his relationship with the mother. We evaluate the accuracy of this hypothesis in light of the high rates of multiple-partner fertility among unmarried parents using the Fragile Families ... |
Abstract: In most countries, the burden of HIV among people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and sex workers is disproportionately high compared with that in the general population. Meanwhile, coverage rates of effective interventions among those key populations (KPs) are extremely low, despite a strong evi... |
