OBJECTIVES University students in general face multiple challenges, which may affect their levels of perceived stress and life satisfaction. Chinese students currently face specific strains due to the One-Child Policy (OCP). The aim of this study was to assess (1) whether the levels of perceived stress and studying-related life satisfaction are associated with only-child (OC) status after contr...

this paper provides faunistic data for 27 species of cryptinae in iran, of which 12 species and three genera, buathra cameron, myrmeleonostenus uchida and glyphicnemis foerster, are newly recorded from iran. previously recorded species with related references are also included. distributional map is given for all species of cryptinae. this study increases the number of known species of iranian ...

The Internet Stroke Center exists to advance understanding of stroke research and clinical car...

ATM has been successfully used in Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Local Area Networks (LAN). A possible next step in this evolution is to use ATM for memory interconnect. This paper discusses how ATM can fulfill the functional and performance requirements in a memory interconnect, and the implications this will have for external ATM communication. We conclude that ATM can be used as a memory inter...

International travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel. A direct relation between VTE development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...

This paper presents a new computational model for the generation of multimodal referring expressions, based on observations in human communication. The algorithm is an extension of the graph-based algorithm proposed by Krahmer et al. (2003) and makes use of a so-called Flashlight Model for pointing. The Flashlight Model accounts for various types of pointing gestures of different precisions. Ba...
