objective: many theorists agree that intimacy is a multidimensional concept and intimacy attitude components are different from intimate behavior components. this research aimed to determine the components of intimacy attitude in university students. methods: based on revised intimacy attitude scale (ias-r) which was originally developed by amidon et al. (1983), intimacy attitude components are...

Multidimensional transfer functions are an effective description of physical systems with time and space as independent variables. They allow to construct discrete models which are suitable for computer implementation. The derivation of multidimensional transfer functions is straightforward for systems with self-adjoint spatial operators. It is based on the application of suitable functional tr...

Multidimensional Semistructured Data (MSSD) are semistructured data that present di erent facets under di erent contexts. Contexts represent alternative worlds, and are expressed by assigning values to a set of user-de ned variables called dimensions. The notion of context has been incorporated in OEM, and the extended model is called Multidimensional OEM (MOEM), a graph model for MSSD. In this...

This study examined the psychometric properties of Ulrichʼs (1988) Actual Physical Competence Scale for children with mental retardation. A total of 139 children with MR, 7 to 13 years of age participated. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a multidimensional model of skill assessment captures the motor performance of those with MR more accurately than a unidimensional model. Indices o...

Multidimensional poverty concentrates on deprivations in the living standard of a population in terms of functioning failures of different quality of life attributes such as per capita real GDP, life expectancy at birth and educational attainment. More precisely, a threshold level is specified for each attribute and shortfalls of quantities of different attributes from respective thresholds for...

c onsidering the normative nature of the theories of justice, a distinguished theory of justice could be formulated based on the fundamental teachings of islam. hence a new set of indexes are required to put this new concept to test. through detailed study of the islamic teachings, the research seeks to formulate a comprehensive theory on economic justice (based on various economic rights). in...

This paper introduces a Conceptual Data Model for Data Warehouse including multidimensional aggregation. It is based on Entity-Relationships data model. The conceptual data model gracefully extends standard Entity-Relationship data model with multidimensional aggregated entities. The model has a clear mathematical theoretic semantics grounded on standard ER semantics and the GMD logic-based mul...

Shearlets emerged in recent years among the most successful frameworks for the efficient representation of multidimensional data. Indeed, after it was recognized that traditional multiscale methods are not very efficient at capturing edges and other anisotropic features which frequently dominate multidimensional phenomena, several methods were introduced to overcome their limitations. The shear...

Nowadays, multidimensional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery has raised as a powerful tool to extract physical information about the Earth surface. One of the main parameters which characterizes these multidimensional data is the complex correlation coefficient between two SAR images. It has been demonstrated, in the related literature, that this parameter can be sensible to different phys...

This paper is a brief survey of the current state of the technology used in supporting eecient content-based retrieval in index-based multimedia databases that use feature vectors to represent the multimedia data. One of the main obstacles in performing eecient content-based multimedia retrieval is the high-dimensionality of the feature vectors used to characterise the data. Previous surveys on...
