this paper provides an overview of the results of research related to anxiety disorders within the context of learning disabilities. about 8% of the student population in iran suffers from learning disabilities (ld). most of the criteria for anxiety disorders in icd–10 or dsm–iv–tr can be applied reliably and validly in individuals with mild-to-moderate learning disabilities. besides the clinic...

background: based on researches done  in recent decades, there are several therapeutic approaches to increase self-esteem and achievement motivation of students. among these methods, we can refer to cognitive-behavioral therapy. the purpose of this research is assessment of effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group training on self-esteem andachievement motivation of students. methods: the re...

Self-control is one of the most important skills that are considered as the main characteristic of individual adaptability. Indeed, an individual with self-control ability is one who can prioritize his/her goals and keep a balance between his/her emotions and thoughts. The purpose of this study was to compare self-control and behavioral activation and prevention systems in both normal and blind...

CONTEXT Loosening of associations has long been considered a core feature of schizophrenia, but its neural correlate remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that, in comparison with healthy control subjects, patients with schizophrenia show increased neural activity within inferior prefrontal and temporal cortices in response to directly and indirectly semantically related...

Formal behavioral models of software services are used as input by analysis tools which check their properties on hand of the given models. However, there is a gap between the real systems which have to be validated and their abstract models. This work proposes to bridge this gap by tools which extract behavioral models from software services implementations. The method proposed here aims at en...

Energy management mechanisms in resource constrained environments such as mobile systems are typically based on the current status of various system parameters such as utilization and quality of service requirements. Any knowledge gained about future system resource usage and other significant dynamics in the system can further lead to increased optimizations in such mechanisms. Future knowledg...

Object-oriented systems are able to treat objects indirectly by message passing. This allows them to manipulate objects without knowing their exact runtime type. Behavioral subtyping helps one reason in a modular fashion about such programs. That is, one can reason based on the static types of expressions in a program, provided that static types are upper bounds of the runtime types in a subtyp...

Control structures for physical robots can be evolved in simulated and physical environments. In this study, the interleaving of simulated and physical environments during the course of the evolution of a control structure was examined. This method was compared to the method of ‘fine tuning’ in a physical environment a control structure that has evolved in complete simulation. Interleaving phys...
