what is “meaningful change” when working with transtheoretical model (ttm)?

When every $P$-flat ideal is flat

In this paper‎, ‎we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat‎ ‎ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎Von Neumann regular rings‎, ‎hereditary rings‎, ‎semi-hereditary ring‎, ‎PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In the context domain‎, ‎this notion coincide with‎ ‎Pr"{u}fer domain‎. ‎We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for‎...

Visual search is slowed when visuospatial working memory is occupied.

Visual working memory plays a central role in most models of visual search. However, a recent study showed that search efficiency was not impaired when working memory was filled to capacity by a concurrent object memory task (Woodman, Vogel, & Luck, 2001). Objects and locations may be stored in separate working memory subsystems, and it is plausible that visual search relies on the spatial subs...

Visual search remains efficient when visual working memory is full.

Many theories of attention have proposed that visual working memory plays an important role in visual search tasks. The present study examined the involvement of visual working memory in search using a dual-task paradigm in which participants performed a visual search task while maintaining no, two, or four objects in visual working memory. The presence of a working memory load added a constant...

HITIOS: why cynicism is helpful when working with health IT.

I recently encountered a medical informatics problem that I have seen time and again. For want of a better term, I have dubbed this phenomenon HITIOS: Health Information Technologist Irrational Optimism Syndrome. HITIOS is the tendency of health IT software developers and technical support personnel to grossly underestimate the time and effort required to complete health IT-related tasks. An ex...
