Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) as a treatment for problem behavior has typically included (a) continuous access to reinforcers at the onset of treatment and (b) extinction. We extended research on NCR by conducting a three-phase preliminary investigation of these components. In Phase 1, a functional analysis showed that the problem behavior of 3 participants with developmental disabilities w...

We present various numerical studies conducted with a novel pore-scale simulation technology called Direct Hydrodynamic (DHD) Simulation that can be used to study multiphase flow at various scales ranging from individual pore-scale events to complex scenarios like capillary de-saturation and relative permeability of digitized rock samples. DHD uses a diffuse interface description for fluid-flui...

Software developers compose systems from components written in many different languages. A business-logic component may be written in Java or OCaml, a resource-intensive component in C or Rust, and a high-assurance component in Coq. In this multi-language world, program execution sends values from one linguistic context to another. This boundary-crossing exposes values to contexts with unforese...

The analytical theory of one dimensional, dispersion free miscible displacement of oil by injection gas with nc component has shown that: the MMP is the lowest pressure at which any one of the initial oil, injection gas or crossover key tie lines becomes critical, which means that its length approaches to zero. In this paper, we propose a method for a solving multi component syst...

INTRODUCTION Overweight and obesity are associated with an increased risk of morbidity. Mindfulness training could be an effective strategy to optimize lifestyle behaviors related to body weight gain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a worksite mindfulness-based multi-component intervention on vigorous physical activity in leisure time, sedentary behavior at work, frui...

Cognitive control is central to many every day situations. There, we usually have to combine different actions to achieve a task goal. Several lines of research indicated that areas in the prefrontal cortex determine cognitive control in situations requiring multi-component behavior. One of this is the frontopolar cortex (FPC). However, direct non-correlative evidence for this notion is widely ...

The article proposes the use of bicubic spline interpolation to optimize hydraulic and thermal calculations while processing thermodynamic library data. Research was carried out both in single-phase gas liquid regions, as well two-phase gas-liquid region. accuracy tested for various libraries on multi-component mixtures. Various coordinate systems (P, x), T), H), S) were tested, optimal coordin...
