OBJECTIVE This study was to investigate the current use of depression rating scales by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in Korea. METHODS The questionnaires from many psychiatrists and clinical psychologists were included in the analysis. The questionnaire was composed of items about examining the percentage of patients clinically using depression rating scales, reasons for not use of...

Neural representations of a moving object's distance and approach speed are essential for determining appropriate orienting responses, such as those observed in the localization behaviors of the weakly electric fish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus. We demonstrate that a power law form of spike rate adaptation transforms an electroreceptor afferent's response to "looming" object motion, effectively p...

HPIV measurements of a turbulent flow in a square duct are used for studying the 3-D geometric relations between SGS stresses, filtered strain-rates and vorticity. Conditional sampling is performed based on the strain-rate magnitude and SGS dissipation, including negative values. In regions of high dissipation, the flow is more likely to be in axisymmetric expansion with vorticity strongly alig...

We investigate the transfer of power between different scales and coupling of modes during non-linear evolution of gravitational clustering in an expanding universe. We start with a power spectrum of density fluctuations that is exponentially damped outside a narrow range of scales and use numerical simulations to study evolution of this power spectrum. Non-Linear effects generate power at othe...

Payments for ecosystem services programs have become common tools but most have failed to achieve wide-ranging conservation outcomes. The capacity for scale and impact increases when PES programs are designed through the lens of the potential participants, yet this has received little attention in research or practice. Our work with small-scale marine fisheries integrates the social science of ...

A comprehensive review and fair comparison of previous priority encoder (PE) designs over the past one and a half decades are presented using a 45 nm technology. Further, potential limitations of existed PEs are identified, based on which we propose a robust PE design. The new PE is able to eliminate race condition and charge sharing problem which are su↵ered by almost all the previous designs....

OBJECTIVE To describe the manual ability of adolescents with cerebral palsy and to investigate the relationship of manual ability with daily activities. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Ninety-four adolescents with cerebral palsy, aged 12-16 years. METHODS Manual ability was assessed according to the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and the ABILHAND-Kids. Daily activities...

Visibility degradation is a pervasive and urgent environmental problem in China. The occurrence of low visibility events is frequent in the North China Plain, where the aerosol loading is quite high and aerosols are strongly hygroscopic. A parameterization of light extinction (Kex) for low visibilities on hazy days is proposed in this paper, based on visibility, relative humidity (RH), aerosol ...
