Body image disturbance is characteristic of eating disorders, and current treatments use body exposure to reduce bad body feelings. There is however little known about the cognitive effects of body exposure. In the present study, eye movement registration (electroculography) as a direct index of selective visual attention was used while eating symptomatic and normal control participants were ex...

OBJECTIVE Previous research has yielded evidence of increased attentional processing of negatively valenced body parts in women with anorexia nervosa (AN), especially for those with high depressive symptomatology. The present study extended previous research by implementing an experimental mood manipulation. METHOD In a within-subjects design, female adolescents with AN (n = 12) and an age ma...

Mathematics is a part of physics. Physics is an experimental science, a part of natural science. Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap. The Jacobi identity (which forces the heights of a triangle to cross at one point) is an experimental fact in the same way as that the Earth is round (that is, homeomorphic to a ball). But it can be discovered with less expense. In the ...

In this paper, we demonstrate how our research findings regarding fractal tilings arose through the teaching of a geometry course, and describe the mathematical relationships between the content of the geometry course and our research results. We share this delightful experience and demonstrate how research can be closely related to teaching activities in university.

No one's sure what health reform will bring. But the time for providers to get agile is now" (Deloitte 2010). As an active participant in the national healthcare reform debate for the past several years, I have been troubled by the continued lack of a meaningful dialogue about healthcare in this country.
