Intrusive mental experiences occur within posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and some psychotic disorders. Similarities in the phenomenology and content in the intrusions of both disorders have been noted. Currently there is little understanding of any common etiology in terms of information-processing styles. This study investigated predictors of analogue posttraumatic intrusive cognitions w...

Activity recognition in smart environments and healthcare systems is gaining increasing interest. Several approaches are proposed to recognize activities namely intrusive and non-intrusive approaches. This paper presents a new fully non-intrusive approach for recognition of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in smart environments. Our approach treats the activity recognition process as an inform...

Recent advances of high performance computing systems permits extreme scale computational simulation with high resolution numerical models. For uncertainty quantification of such extreme scale simulations, the computational cost of the traditional Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) may become extremely high. As an efficient alternative to MCS, the intrusive spectral stochastic finite element method ...

The study of intrusive mental imagery in anxiety is a growing area of interest. Whilst there is an appreciation of the variation in thematic content (Hirsch & Holmes, 2007), less is understood about the wider phenomenology and function of intrusive imagery across the anxiety disorders. The aim of the review is to adopt a transdiagnostic perspective, and compare and contrast the literature on in...

This paper investigates the occurrences of postvocalic-r, intrusive-r and linking-r in Singapore English (SgE) from a sociophonetic perspective. This paper seeks to determine the correlation between the use of the different /ɹ/ and the users’ education levels. This paper will also investigate the attitudes of SgE speakers to the use of postvocalic-r and intrusive-r in SgE. The results show a di...
