Background: Emotional disorders are common and recurring mental conditions that can severely affect individuals have long-term economic consequences for society. Objectives: This study aimed to predict emotional disorders, using neuroticism, emotion regulation, experiential avoidance (EA), repetitive negative thinking as predictors. Patients Methods: The included a sample of 414 patients diagno...

The area if Iterative Learning Control (ILC) has great potential for applications to systems with a naturally repetitive action where the transfer of data from repetition (trial or iteration) can lead to substantial improvements in tracking performance. There are several serious issues arising from the "2D" structure of ILC and a number of new problems requiring new ways of thinking and design....

“More and more of us are thinking that the way we really get rid of this problem of resistance to targeted cancer drugs is to actually kill the cells, as opposed to throttling them down,” says Elizabeth Blackburn, PhD, professor of biology and physiology at the University of California, San Francisco, and a 2009 Nobel laureate. “From that point of view, there’s a lot of life in research on inte...

Anticipatory processing (AP) is a repetitive negative thinking (RNT) style associated with social anxiety that has been excluded in studies of repetitive thought (e.g., worry and rumination). The following studies examined whether individual differences in AP were associated with social anxiety symptoms above and beyond worry and rumination in undergraduate samples. Study 1 (N = 326) examined t...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To explore whether repetitive negative thinking (RNT) mediates the pathway between subscales of caregiver burden and depressive symptoms. 
. DESIGN Cross-sectional pilot study. 
. SETTING Bone marrow unit at the University of Louisville Hospital in Kentucky and caregiver support organizations in Louisville.
. SAMPLE 49 current cancer caregivers who were primarily spouse...

We use stereo-derived topography of extensional bands on Europa to show that these features can be elevated by 100–150 m with respect to the surroundings, and that the positive topography sometimes extends beyond the band margins. Lateral variations in shell thickness cannot maintain the observed topography for timescales greater than ∼ 0.1 Myr. Lateral density variations can maintain the obser...

The purpose of this study was to compare the postural sway profiles of 20 boys with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) on two conditions of a quiet standing task: eyes open and eyes closed. Anteriorposterior (AP) sway, medio-lateral sway (LAT), area of sway, total path length, and Romberg’s quotient were analyzed. When visual information was available, there was no difference...

Asymmetrical lower limb loading during landing may lead to overuse knee injuries if one limb is required to repetitively attenuate greater load. Symmetry of the peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and knee moment generated in the lead and trail lower limbs of healthy female volleyball players during landing from a lateral-moving jump were determined. Each participant performed five jump-...
