According to previous studies based on the Social Relations Model (SRM), most of the variance in observer reports of personality is perceiver and relationship variance, and not much is target variance. However, most SRM studies have employed short adjective scales instead of personality questionnaires. Results based on the HEXACO-PI-R in family and work groups showed high levels of consensus (t...

Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and a genetic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD178) are clinically different prion disorders linked to the D178N prion protein (PrP) mutation. The disease phenotype is determined by the 129 M/V polymorphism on the mutant allele, which is thought to influence D178N PrP misfolding, leading to the formation of distinctive prion strains with specific neurotoxic pr...

AIMS The objective of the present work was to identify factors associated with diet quality in non-frail older adults measured with the Food Frequency Index (FFI). METHODS In a cross-sectional survey, data from a qualitative 28-item food-frequency questionnaire was used to calculate the FFI in a sample of 444 adults aged 55 years and older living in Vienna, Austria. RESULTS A higher FFI, in...

Programming language specifications mandate static and dynamic analyses to preclude syntactic and semantic errors. Although individual languages are usually well-specified, composing languages in multilingual programs is not. Because multilingual programs are prevalent, poor specification is a source of many errors. For example, virtually all Java programs compose Java and C with the Java Nativ...

Receptive fields of neurons in cortical area V4 are large enough to fit multiple stimuli, making V4 the ideal place to study the effects of selective attention at the single neuron level. Experiments have revealed evidence for stimulus competition and have characterized the effect thereon of spatial and feature-based attention. We developed a biophysical model with spiking neurons and conductan...

BACKGROUND The revised foot function index (FFI-R) is used to evaluate the functionality of patients with conditions that affect the feet. The objective here was to produce the Brazilian Portuguese version of this index. DESIGN AND SETTING Translation and validation study conducted at the Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS The translation and cultural adaptation process involv...

We examine the effect of neutrino flavor transformation by fast instability (FFI) on long-term mass ejection from accretion disks formed after neutron star mergers. Neutrino emission and absorption in disk set composition ejecta, which subsequently undergoes $r$-process nucleosynthesis upon expansion cooling. Here we perform 28 time-dependent, axisymmetric, viscous-hydrodynamic simulations arou...

In two German samples we investigated whether three major personality prototypes (resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled) can be replicated across different Big Five instruments (NEO-FFI and NEO-PI-R), and whether they can be differentiated into replicable subtypes. For prototypes and subtypes, replicability within and consistency across samples was quantitatively measured. Three replic...
