Although the literature has identified both a self-enhancement and a self-improvement function of counterfactual thinking, most evidence points to situations in which the self-improvement function predominates. The current research spotlights a set of factors that increase the role of self-enhancement in counterfactual thinking. Threatening experiences such as chronic illness (Study 1) and the ...

Early diagnosis and management of strabismus is needed to avoid complications such as amblyopia. In this retrospective cohort study we reviewed the profile and surgical outcome of vertical strabismus patients attending a clinic in Yazd city in the Islamic Republic of Iran. From the medical files of 265 patients, 19.2% were found to have pure vertical deviation and 80.8% had combined horizontal ...

Thirty-one patients presented for surgical correction of unilateral hypotropia of the globe and blepharoptosis. The hypotropia and pseudoptosis were corrected by Knapp procedures. The Bell's phenomenon was thereby improved, allowing safe correction of the true ptosis, generally by an anterior levator resection whose magnitude depended on measured levator function.

In electrocardiograms of normal human hearts recorded by precordial leads the initial ventricular complex shows a fairly constant configuration. With the right arm electrode placed at the apical region and the second electrode at any point distant from the heart the primary ventricular deflection consists of a conspicuous downward deflection followed by an upward deflection. The initial downwar...

We argue that under the stable model semantics default negation can be read as explicit with update. show dynamic logic programming which is based on negation, even in heads, interpreted a variant of updates only. As corollaries, we get an easy description generalized and normal where initially negated literals are updated. These results discussed respect to understanding logic.

In this paper we study the human head movement, when the head shifts its orientation between two possible heading directions, as a simple mechanical control system. Head movements obey Donders’ constraint (as opposed to the Listing’s constraint for eye movement), which states that the allowed orientations of the head are obtained by rotating a fixed ‘primary heading direction’ by a subclass of ...
