Household food waste has serious negative consequences for the environment and society. Food results from provisioning behaviors, however, there is little evidence regarding consumer-related factors that drive such behaviors. The aim was to investigate antecedents of key behaviors related motivation reduce waste. A cross-sectional online survey (N = 508) conducted in Denmark showed excessive bu...

a r t i c l e i n f o Associations between the Dark Triad (psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism) with two self-report personality measures (i.e., BIS-11 and I 7) and two behavioral tasks (i.e., Stop-Signal task and Delay-Discounting task) of impulsivity in 298 healthy adult volunteers were examined. The strong correlations between psychopathy, narcissism, and self-report measures of im...

all people have experience about anxiety in their lives and it is natural when facing with reactional threatening situations. but chronic and intense feeling is unusual in absence of clear cause. anxiety includes uncertainty, helplessness and physiological arousal feelings. generally anxiety is a diffuse, very unpleasant and often vague concern feeling. clinical studies of war veterans over the...

VIOLENCE AMONG ADOLESCENTS IS A SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC-HEALTH CONCERN. HOMICIDE IS CURRENTLY THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THIS AGE group.1 Recently, research has focused on emotional dysregulation as a predictor of aggression and violence in adolescents.2,3 Aggressive adolescents may be less able to inhibit impulses, urges, or strong affect4 and, thus, act out on anger-related impulses. Thi...

A class of new observers in descriptor linear systems, proportional-derivative (PD) observers, are proposed. A parametric design approach for such observers is proposed based on a complete parametric solution to the generalized Sylvester matrix equation. The approach provides complete parameterizations for all the observer gains, gives the parametric expression for the corresponding left eigenv...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamic behaviors of a Holling II two-prey one-predator system with impulsive effect concerning biological control and chemical control strategy-periodic releasing natural enemies and spraying pesticide at different fixed moment. By using the Floquet theory of linear periodic impulsive equation and small-amplitude perturbation method, we show that there exists ...

Data from a sample (n = 154) of young men who have sex with men (YMSM), aged 13-21, residing in five mid-sized cities in the midwestern United States were used to test the hypothesis that personality variables (impulsive decision making, sensation seeking, anxiety/depression, internalized homophobia) contribute uniquely to the prediction of unprotected anal sex beyond what is accounted for by o...

Vibratory manipulation is any mode of manipulation involving repeated impacts due to a striker which follows some periodic motion. In this paper, we study vibratory manipulation in the context of tapping planar objects which slide on a fixed support surface. We are interested in the behaviors an object exhibits under such excitation. There are two distinct types of tapping that can result: cont...
