conclusions it can be indicated that reinforcing components of emotional intelligence, especially emotional-awareness and impulse control, are effective methods to develop against substance use in among drug-dependent individuals. background drug addiction is one of the most significant problems related to general health in the world, creating various mental problems in addicts and leading to s...

This paper provides new insights into the problem of selecting filter center frequencies for the auditory filterbanks. We propose to use a constant frequency distance and a consistent frequency coverage as the two metrics that motivate the logarithmic frequency scaling and a regularized selection of center frequencies. The frequency scaling and the consistent frequency coverage have been derive...

Recent information society policies have been paying much attention to the threat of a "digital divide". The gap between citizens from different socio-economic backgrounds with regard to their opportunities and abilities to access and use information and communication technologies is commonly regarded as a potential barrier for participation in the information society. This paper suggests a met...

We study the joint effect of thermal bath fluctuations and an external noise tuning activity of cytotoxic cells on the triggered immune response in a growing cancerous tissue. The immune response is assumed to be primarily mediated by effector cells that develop a cytotoxic activity against the abnormal tissue. The kinetics of such a reaction is represented by an enzymatic-like Michaelis-Menten...

The paper deals with the dynamics of the electrons in the first phase of the expansion of a spherical plasma irradiated by an ultraintense laser pulse, in which the ions can be considered as immobile. A simple model of ‘‘competitive escape’’ is proposed, in which the electrons leaving the ion sphere increase a potential barrier that prevents other electrons from escaping. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

In the present paper, we consider issue of improving accuracy measurements and peculiar features geometric parameters objects by optoelectronic systems, based on a television multiscan in analogue mode scanistor enabling. It is shown that convolution input signal rectangular profile light zone with impulse response explains smearing video edges. The value completely determined does not depend w...

a new hybrid modal-moment method is proposed to calculate fields penetrated through small apertures on rectangular metallic enclosures. first, the method of moments is used to numerically solve the governing electric field integral equation for the equivalent two-dimensional surface-current distributions on the surface of metallic enclosure including any number of rectangular apertures of arbit...
