background: deterministic thinking is one of the major cognitive distortions. this type of thinking ignores any possibility in making a conclusion about events. any consequence of an event may be thought as: 2×2= 4. equality is a dominant factor among all conclusions of this kind of distortion. distortion emerges in cognitive rigidity in the mind and could be the source of all distortions. cogn...

Abstract Let ϕ be a normalized convex function defined on open unit disk D . For unified class of analytic functions which satisfy the second order differential subordination f′ ( z ) + αzf″ ≺ for all z ∈ , we investigate distortion theorem and grow...

Pronation distortion syndrome is one of the most common abnormalities in the body that causes distortions in the structures of the skeletal structures of the lower extremities and increases postural sways. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 12-week corrective exercises on postural sways in male students with pronation distortion syndrome. In this semi experimental research...

In artificial gravity, conformance to the hypothetical comfort zone does not guarantee an earth-normal environment, nor does it sanction design based on terrestrial norms. This paper begins by examining the range of gravity environments encompassed by the comfort zone. It compares Coriolis slope distortions with typical slopes in terrestrial architecture. It then offers a detailed analysis of t...

Consider the problem of finite-rate filtering of a discrete memoryless process {Xi}i≥1 based on its noisy observation sequence {Zi}i≥1, which is the output of a Discrete Memoryless Channel (DMC) whose input is {Xi}i≥1. When the distribution of the pairs (Xi, Zi), PX,Z , is known, and for a given distortion measure, the solution to this problem is well known to be given by classical rate-distort...

Because of the vast volume of data being produced by today’s scientific simulations and experiments, lossy data compressor allowing user-controlled loss of accuracy during the compression is a relevant solution for significantly reducing the data size. However, lossy compressor developers and users are missing a tool to explore the features of scientific data sets and understand the data altera...

We report a sensitive single-beam technique for measuring both the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient for a wide variety of materials. We describe the experimental details and present a comprehensive theoretical analysis including cases where nonlinear refraction is accompanied by nonlinear absorption. In these experiments, the transmittance of a sample is measured ...

Introduction: General health is composed of features that act as a shield in the face of stressful life situations and help couples have better performance in these situations. The present study was conducted to determine the role of cognitive belief, fusion and distortion in predicting the general health of couples. Materials and Methods: Research method was descriptive method. Populatio...

The measurement of scalar fluxes employing the eddy covariance method is a widely used experimental approach, for which the flow distortion due to obstacles (e.g., sensor mounts and mast) is a well-known but not fully solved problem. In order to reduce flow distortion we installed a sonic anemometer in a surface-normal orientation relative to the terrain slope, and a second instrument in a vert...
