Pharmacotherapy can augment the weight-reducing effects of lifestyle modification and can facilitate long-term weight maintenance....

The mass attenuation coefficients (μs) for five different soil samples were measured at 661.6, 1173.2 and 1332.5 keV photon energies. The soil samples were separately irradiated with (137)Cs and (60)Co (370 kBq) radioactive point gamma sources. The measurements were made by performing transmission experiments with a 2″ × 2″ NaI(Tl) scintillation detector, which had an energy resolution of 7% at...

The modeling and analysis of networks and network data has seen an explosion of interest in recent years and represents an exciting direction for potential growth in statistics. Despite the already substantial amount of work done in this area to date by researchers from various disciplines, however, there remain many questions of a decidedly foundational nature - natural analogues of standard q...

OBJECTIVES Childhood maltreatment is a robust risk factor for poor physical and mental health. Child welfare youths represent a high-risk group, given the greater likelihood of severe or multiple types of maltreatment. This study examined the relationship between childhood maltreatment and self-compassion - a concept of positive acceptance of self. While not applied previously to a child welfar...

The present investigation was carried out as a further step in our attempt to establish the part played by various nervous structures and pathways in the orienting reflex and its habituation (Rogozea and Ungher 1965, 1966, 1968, Rogozea et al. 1969). We approached in this study the role played by the auditory and "associative" cortex. Experiments reported in the literature assessing auditory di...
