Baseflow plays a critical role in maintaining the aquatic environmental health. However, driving factors and predictions of baseflow have not been rigorously investigated on large scale, partly preventing hydrologist from deeply understanding runoff generation. To this end, Lyne–Hollick digital filter method automatic identification technique were used to estimate long-term seasonal index (BFI)...

Despite being significantly correlated, there is evidence to suggest that the scales measuring Agreeableness from the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) do not capture identical constructs. More specifically, NEO PI-R Agreeableness contains content related to "honesty and humility" that is not contained by the BFI. In a sample of undergraduates (N = 29...

Breastfeeding confers extensive and well-established benefits and is recognized as an extremely effective preventative health measure for both mothers and babies. Except in very few specific medical situations, breastfeeding should be universally encouraged for all mothers and infants. To improve worldwide breastfeeding initiation and duration rates, the WHO and UNICEF launched the Baby-Friendl...

In three studies, we tried to create a novel scale within the existing Big Five Inventory 2 (BFI-2) structure measure prosocial vs. antisocial personality traits, like Dark Triad and honesty-humility. While our new converged strongly with dark honesty-humility scales, failed establish sufficient discriminant validity vis-a-vis BFI-2 agreeableness domain. Instead, found that traits were best mea...

The Sor and Gebba watershed has undergone several natural anthropogenic changes, as evidenced by the physical alterations artificial mismanagement of water resources in watershed. These situations alter underground storage aquifer contribution to streams. Thus, understanding baseflow enables us identify groundwater system potential dynamicity. main objective this research is estimate using hydr...

BACKGROUND Concern regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of long-term survivors of thyroid cancer has risen due to the rapid increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer, which generally has an excellent prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of HRQOL in disease-free survivors of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and to evaluate the important determinants...

Introduction: The Big-Five Inventory-2 is a recently developed instrument for the measurement of personality factors and facets, with good psychometric properties cross-culturally. We examined validity this test, test-retest reliability, internal consistency in Mexican sample. also aimed to extract latent profiles order identify subgroups individuals based on traits. Method: recruited two-wave ...

OBJECTIVE Previous research has shown an association between certain personality characteristics and suicidality. Methodological differences including small sample sizes and missing adjustment for possible confounding factors could explain the varying results. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the Big Five personality dimensions on suicidality in a representative population base...

The in vivo optical and hemodynamic properties of the healthy (n = 22) and pathological (n = 2) human thyroid tissue were measured non-invasively using a custom time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) system. Medical ultrasound was used to guide the placement of the hand-held hybrid optical probe. TRS measured the absorption and reduced scattering coefficient...
