Facets of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) were examined in order to understand its interaction with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)-symptoms. By utilizing archival data, in a correlational design, adults between the ages of 18-66 were tested for the presence of ADHD, which was then compared with data gathered from the NEO-PI-R. Comorbid psychiatric conditions often associated with A...

Tweek-atmospherics (tweeks), along with radio transmission by VLF stations, are used to study the lower ionosphere. Electromagnetic pulse radiation, which has been excited lightning discharges, a maximum spectral density at extra low frequencies range (ELF, 300...3000 Hz) and very (VLF, 3...30 kHz). The Earth-ionosphere cavity serves as waveguide for electromagnetic waves in these frequency ran...
