This study aimed to explore the influence of the therapist’s theoretical orientation on patient’s narrative production. Cathy’s therapeutic narratives with Carl Rogers, Arnold Lazarus and Everett Shostrom were analyzed in terms of three narrative dimensions: structural coherence, process complexity and content multiplicity. Results showed statistically significant differences in scores of Cathy...

Diffusion of innovations is a theory profound by Everett Rogers that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. Rogers argues that diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among the participants in a social system. For Rogers (2003), adoption is a decision of “full use of an innovation as the best course of action available” and...

In this paper we study the properties of coefficients appearing in the series expansions for zeros of generalized Rogers-Ramanujan series. Our primary purpose is to address several conjectures made by M. E. H Ismail and C. Zhang. We prove that the coefficients in the series expansion of each zero approach rational multiples of π and π as q → 1−. We also show that certain polynomials arising in ...

where a = 0 or 1, are among the most famous q-series identities in partitions and combinatorics. Since their discovery the Rogers-Ramanujan identities have been proved and generalized in various ways (see [2, 4, 5, 13] and the references cited there). In [13], by adapting a method of Macdonald for calculating partial fraction expansions of symmetric formal power series, Stembridge gave an unusu...

We investigate differences in the elementary theories of Rogers semilattices of arith-metical numberings, depending on structural invariants of the given families of arithmetical sets. It is shown that at any fixed level of the arithmetical hierarchy there exist infinitely many families with pairwise elementary different Rogers semilattices. For unexplained terminology and notations relative to...

In an article recently published in Thermochimica Acta, Ray Rogers claims that certain results and observations from procedures that he performed on Shroud samples “prove that the radiocarbon sample was not part of the original cloth of the Shroud of Turin.” While I welcome the relative increase in publicity regarding the authenticity and study of the Shroud of Turin which his article generated...

in this paper, we establish and prove the existence of best proximity points for multivalued cyclic $f$- contraction mappings in complete metric spaces. our results improve and extend various results in literature.

recently, choudhury and metiya [fixed points of weak contractions in cone metric spaces, nonlinear analysis 72 (2010) 1589-1593] proved some fixed point theorems for weak contractions in cone metric spaces. weak contractions are generalizations of the banach's contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. in this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and als...
