The authors conducted Rasch model (G. Rasch, 1960) analyses of items from the Young Adult Alcohol Problems Screening Test (YAAPST; S. C. Hurlbut & K. J. Sher, 1992) to examine the relative severity and ordering of alcohol problems in 806 college students. Items appeared to measure a single dimension of alcohol problem severity, covering a broad range of the latent continuum. Items fit the Rasch...

AIM To study the clinicopathologic characteristics of chordomas from a single institution. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is a retrospective analysis of 18 cases of chordomas diagnosed over a period of 5-years at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, from 2006 to 2010. RESULTS The overall mean age of the patients was 46.72 years. Males outnumbered females. Sacrum was the ...

An experiment on the efficacy of pheromone on capturing angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh, using rice variety BR11. Pheromone (X-lure) trap was used as a treatment and data were recorded at different days and distances. The experiment was laid out in a Completely...

This article summarizes the proceedings of a symposium presented at the 2005 Research Society on Alcoholism meeting in Santa Barbara, California. This symposium begins with a description by Michael Windle of structural equation modeling (SEM), including the assets and liabilities of this approach. Next, Marc Schuckit and Tom Smith demonstrate the application of an SEM approach to understanding ...

We study the low energy resolvent of Hodge Laplacian on a manifold equipped with fibered boundary metric. determine precise asymptotic behavior as (aka ϕ-) pseudodifferential operator when parameter tends to zero. This generalizes previous work by Guillarmou and Sher who considered asymptotically conic metrics, which correspond special case fibers are points. The new feature in non-trivial is t...

For certain Dirac operators $$\eth _{\phi }$$ associated to a fibered boundary metric $$g_{\phi , we provide pseudodifferential characterization of the limiting behavior $$(\eth }+k\gamma )^{-1}$$ as $$k\searrow 0$$ where $$\gamma $$ is self-adjoint operator anti-commuting with and whose square identity. This yields in particular low energy limit resolvent }^2$$ generalizing result Guillarmou S...

In this meta-analytic review, Hans J. Eysenck’s theory of criminality (Eysenck, 1964, 1977) serves as a theoretical framework for examining the relations between higher order personality dimensions and antisocial behavior (ASB). The three higher order dimensions examined are referred to as extraversion/sociability, neuroticism/emotionality, and impulsivity/disinhibition (see Sher & Trull, 1994)...

Introduction A novel technology often leads to some forms of disruptions that are a result of the average consumer applying new tools in their everyday lives (Lipson and Kurman 2013). The birth of additive manufacturing, commonly known as three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology, took place in 1984 and is finally bringing us to a time of the third industrial revolution (Barnatt 2013). In the...

The experiment was conducted to study the variability among seven parental genotypes and their twenty one F progenies of Brassica rapa at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh. 2 Results showed that seed yield plant had significant positive association with number of primary branches 1 plant , number of secondary branches plant , number of siliquae plant . Path co-effici...
